SPONSORS INSTALLATION NEWS Luceco at Meadow Mill
L
uceco has recently supplied luminaires to a residential renovation in Stockport. Meadow Mill is a stunning 19th century industrial building that has been transformed into 213 luxury apartments over seven floors. The high spec development
provides accommodation with a modern design that showcases the building’s industrial past. Andy Whalley, Project Manager at Luceco said “we worked with Hurstwood Environmental Consulting, based in Bolton, regarding the electrical services within this Grade II listed building. The mill’s original features have been sensitively retained with the original brickwork along with the steel beams and large windows, therefore the lighting design had to be carefully considered to compliment the surrounding environment. We lit the communal and circulation areas, plant rooms and car park facilities for around 175 vehicles. We also supplied luminaires for elements of the living spaces.” J.E.M Electrical (Widnes) installed the lighting along with other electrical services. LED luminaires installed included Celeste and Climate both
with dimmable microwave sensors, Atlas bulkheads and Tempus emergency downlighters. Celeste is an attractive circular LED

Gilberts Helps Edinburgh Create Sustainable Education

12+% growth in population over the past decade has meant Edinburgh City Council is undertaking a £multi-million Learning Estate Investment Programme. It includes building at least three new primary schools and a new senior school, all designed
to contribute towards the Authority’s aim of being carbon neutral by 2030. To help realise the ambition, consulting engineers Blackwood Partnership utilised Gilberts’ grilles and diffusers to provide effective, compliant ventilation throughout the buildings- from nursery and primary school classrooms through corridors to tutorial spaces, offices and sport halls. Careful design of the ventilation air paths and selection of the components ensures
the indoor air quality throughout the schools is maintained whilst minimising energy with heating provided by air source heat pumps. Each classroom features a combination of GSFB perforated circular swirl diffusers and PG-R perforated return grilles to supply and return the air to the HEVAC system. This combination of grilles and diffusers, with perforated faces, optimises air circulation without draughts whilst achieving enhanced airflow efficiency. In the smaller cellular spaces air is transferred through the corridors via strategically- positioned NV2 transfer grilles above doors – heavy duty where required. GE eggcrate grilles, with their 90% free ventilation area, optimise velocity of extraction with low noise levels through the ceiling within the Sports and Dining Halls. Explained Fraser Sinclair, senior mechanical engineer for Blackwoods, “The overall
layout in each of the schools was for a mixture of suspended and plasterboarded ceilings. some of which were awkward configurations in terms of implementation of a compliant ventilation strategy. “We knew from our long-term, successful relationship with Gilberts that we could
rely on all the technical support needed in the selection of the most efficient and cost- effective combination of supply and extract solutions.” Added Crawford McGhie, Senior Manager Estates and Operational Support, ‘Our new
school spaces should provide the best conditions for learning and teaching with lighting, heating, ventilation and acoustics optimised to provide a comfortable environment supporting positive outcomes for building users.” The new schools build on Gilberts’ proven track record in air movement in the region.
Gilberts has also provided grille and diffusers for, among others, the first Virgin hotel in the UK, and Gleneagles’ first urban hotel, both in Edinburgh, and the new Glasgow Rangers Museum. Founded some six decades ago, today family-owned Gilberts’ 140,000 sq ft head
office and manufacturing facility includes its own research and development and test facilities, enabling it to continue to evolve its product range and develop bespoke solutions for specific client requirements. Gilberts is now acknowledged as the UK’s leading independent air movement specialist, offering mechanical, natural and hybrid ventilation solutions.

luminaire featuring a ‘corona’ backlight effect with a direct / indirect light distribution. The fitting is ideal for many commercial and residential lighting applications offering up to 100,000 hours working life and available as standard output, digital dimming and with microwave sensor as used at Meadow Mill. With the corridor function selected, the sensor adjusts the light level to 10% of the normal level when the space is unoccupied creating a safe and secure yet well-lit environment with cost effectiveness and environmental issues in mind. Stockport was a major centre of textile manufacture, particularly
cotton spinning from the Industrial Revolution until the 20th century. Meadow Mill was built in c.1880 by T & J Leigh Ltd and designated as a Grade II listed building in 1975. The transformation from a neglected industrial landmark to a high specification residential building has been greatly assisted by the appropriate lighting, ensuring a cost effect and energy efficient lit environment.
