Two hundred and twenty‐three Dunham‐Bush System Low Surface Temperature radiators fitted with SAV/Danfoss PT 40 flow and pressure monitoring thermostatic valves have been installed at Manor Grange luxury care home in Corstorphine, Edinburgh.


Manor Grange cares for people suffering from dementia from the age of 65 upwards and provides support for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. James Culbertson, Director of Edinburgh-based The Keenan Consultancy, which undertook the design of the heating system at the home said: “We were tasked with providing a system design for a care home with 83 luxury bedrooms. Safety is of paramount importance in buildings such as care homes, hospitals and nurseries, where occupants are deemed at risk and may be vulnerable to accidental scalding from heat emitters.” NHS Estate Health Guidance ‘Note Safe Hot Water Temperatures 1998’ recommends that heating devices should have a maximum surface temperature of 43°C when operating under design conditions. This recommendation includes radiator grilles. Dunham-Bush System LST radiators fully comply with these recommendations and their innovative design provides installers with a quick and simple installation process. The end user benefits from a cosmetically

Trend BEMS is good news for the Financial Times HQ


The headquarters of the world-renowned FT newspaper is located adjacent to Southwark Bridge on the banks of the River Thames. Arranged over seven storeys, it is home to a 1,100-strong workforce, and as part of an ongoing drive to improve performance, reduce CO2 emissions and cut energy costs, the company wanted to ensure that all building services were functioning as efficiently as possible.


uThe London HQ of the Financial Times now has a clear picture of energy use throughout the building.


The first place to start was the BEMS – and Chartwell Energy Solutions, part of the Chartwell Group, was called in to offer its advice. Andy Horrigan, the company’s Energy Manager, comments: “We were tracking the emergence of a new platform called Demand Logic – a plug-and-play system that collects data directly from a facility’s BEMS. Within a week, it could offer a complete snapshot of how the building services were operating. It appeared to be the perfect tool with which to


analyse a building as large and multifaceted as the FT’s London home.”


The device is plugged into the Trend BEMS control panel, which collects data and broadcasts it to the cloud and software in the form of a web-based interface, which collates that data into a central, secure location. ”This allows us to pinpoint exactly where the issues are,” says Andy Horrigan. “At the FT building, we could piece together a picture within a week, built from 25,000 data points throughout the network. Once we had a clear snapshot of what was actually happening, we could then start asking questions based on our engineering expertise and work out whether issues were centred on software or hardware.” For further information please call Trend Marketing on 01403 211888 or email:

A 50kW chiller coupled to air


handling units enabled Andrews Chiller Hire to achieve the correct temperature in temporary music rooms at a university whilst the Music Hall was renovated. This environment ensured students could continue their music degree courses, uninterrupted.


Andrews provides chilled out music


Fluctuations in temperature ultimately affect humidity, which can be a complicating factor when examining the effect of increases in temperature on musical instruments. For degree course students these changes may have an unnerving experience, therefore the University needed to ensure that the new temporary music rooms could maintain a constant environment.


As a leading chiller hire specialist, Andrews Sykes has a broad knowledge and considerable experience in providing solutions that will reduce and stabilise temperatures. It also operates with one of the large ranges of chillers which ensures it can cope with any situations and with a nationwide network of depots a solutions is always close at hand.. When contacted by the SE England University a same-day site survey was conducted and it was decided that the Andrews 50kW chiller and a number air handling units would create


the perfect temperature controlled environment.


The units were commissioned for use within hours of arrival on site, allowing the University to achieve and maintain the optimum playing conditions inside the temporary music rooms. As the campus has considerable foot traffic, care was taken to keep the hoses above head height to eliminate trip hazards.


The campus maintenance team and lecturers alike where delighted with the results achieved by Andrews Chiller Hire, it created the perfect temporary cooling solution that ran throughout the length of renovation works. It gave the University effective climate control, enabling all music courses to continue without any disruption.

Case Study: St Paul’s Cathedral, London


PROJECT: Grade 1 listed building refurbishment PRODUCTS: 2x Wessex ModuMax mk3 boilers (1,016kW), 2x Powerstock calorifiers (1,000 litres)


Hamworthy Heating provided a flexible and efficient modular boiler and hot water solution to fit St Paul’s Cathedral. Two Wessex ModuMax mk3 WM254/508V space saving modular condensing boilers were chosen.


uTwo Wessex ModuMax mk3 condensing boilers now heat the cathedral in just a day.


Backed by a 10-year warranty and fitting through a standard doorway, they provided the installation flexibility needed for the cathedral. To meet the hot water requirements, especially during the summer months’ peak demand when tourist groups arrive, two Powerstock PS500 glass- lined calorifiers with a capacity of 500 litres each and quick recovery time of 18 minutes were chosen. Robin Bunton from Bunton M & E Services, who chose and installed boilers and water heaters comments: “We have used the Wessex boilers since they were introduced and know they are a

very reliable product. They are space saving, great in refurbishment projects and buildings where you can’t change the building fabric, such as St Paul’s. The speed of heat up has greatly improved. Previously it would take a week to heat the cathedral up from cold, but now it only takes one day.”


The challenge to provide an energy efficient and compact heating solution to be fitted to an old heating system without changing St Paul’s Cathedral’s building structure was successfully met. Space restrictions were overcome by choosing a modular boiler system to allow installation flexibility and access.

The use of a Trend BEMS has cut energy bills by more than £100,000 within two years at the London headquarters of the Financial Times (FT).


St Paul’s Cathedral is a listed building, subject to strict regulations, prohibiting alterations without special permissions. Leaking steel shell boilers from the 1960s needed replacement, but like for like boilers were not possible due to current legislation on inefficient boilers.
