IN FOCUS TRILUX, a leading lighting
manufacturer, has partnered with building services experts Munro to develop a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Cambridge.
T
he collaboration resulted in the creation of a BREEAM Very Good-rated facility for CMR Surgical, a pioneering medical technology company. This facility reflects CMR
Surgical’s commitment to excellence, sustainability, staff well-being, and natural resource conservation. CMR Surgical, formerly known as Cambridge Medical Robotics, required a purpose-built manufacturing facility to support its groundbreaking work in robotic surgery. TRILUX’s extensive range of energy-efficient products and expertise made them the ideal choice for this transformative location. TRILUX’s lighting solutions, including Siella, ArimoFit, E-Line, LC60, and Solegra, were carefully chosen to address the diverse lighting requirements throughout the facility. Iain Butterworth, Project Manager at Munro, said, TRILUX exceeded our expectations, offering a diverse range of products that perfectly met our requirements. Their expertise and commitment to excellence were instrumental in creating a world-class manufacturing facility for CMR Surgical.” TRILUX’s comprehensive product portfolio and ability to provide complete lighting solutions allowed Munro to simplify their processes by having a single point of contact for all lighting needs across the facility. TRILUX’s lighting solutions enhanced the aesthetics of the reception area, offices, and factory floor while keeping energy consumption low. One of the significant challenges was meeting the high lighting standards required for robotic assembly. TRILUX’s E-Line linear lighting system perfectly met these requirements, providing precise illumination with IP64 protection, low glare, and 1000 and 800 lux luminance in the manufacturing areas. This ensured that factory workers could observe even the finest details with clarity, facilitating seamless robotic assembly and maximizing operational efficiency and employee well-being. Ben Cook, Property Project Coordinator, CMR Surgical, shared, “TRILUX has exceeded our expectations, perfectly aligning with our vision for the facility. Our goal was to create a site and building that not only achieved sustainability and environmental performance goals but also enhanced the well- being of our staff. TRILUX’s lighting solutions have played a pivotal role in realising these objectives.” For more information about TRILUX’s lighting solutions for the industry, please visit https://www.

ondair is pleased to offer a CIBSE- approved CPD
seminar on “Using humidifiers for evaporative cooling in AHUs”. The 45-minute presentation includes training on the psychrometrics of evaporative cooling, a review of the three main AHU strategies (direct, indirect and exhaust-air indirect), analysis of three real-life case studies that employed these cooling strategies, and a comparison of the latest adiabatic humidifiers. Dave Marshall-George, UK Sales Director, comments, “A single adiabatic humidifier can provide up to 680kW of evaporative cooling to an AHU from as little as 0.3kW of consumed electrical energy. Their potential for delivering low energy cooling to an air handling unit is great and we frequently see this application being employed in modern AHU designs. This CPD is an invaluable chance for consultants and building designers to explore how humidifiers can be used in AHUs to take advantage of this low energy cooling method. The case studies detailed in the session provide a clear understanding, beyond the theory and physics, of the actual energy savings that can be enjoyed.” The seminar has been developed specifically for mechanical engineers and consultants. The presentation has been CIBSE-approved, therefore verified to be unbiased, up-to-date and technically accurate. All attendees will receive CIBSE points towards their continuous professional development (CPD) record. The presentation can be given in-house at a recipient’s office, typically over a lunch period with refreshments supplied by Condair, or online via a webinar platform. Bookings can be requested at www.
condair.co.uk/CPD. The Condair Group is the world’s leading specialist in humidification and evaporative cooling,
with energy efficient, hygienic and innovative technologies for commercial, industrial and heritage applications.

CPD and compliance is vital
for our members - becoming trained and demonstrating competence. The work done over the past few years has increased the focus on professionalism, particularly the REG AI status and the aim is to continue that.’ Simon Forrester, Chief Executive of the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers added ‘We are
delighted that Kaz has taken over the role of GAI President. We have a long association with GEZE with many of their team holding GAI qualifications or sitting on Guild committees.

s electrical contractors look towards decorative wiring accessories to achieve a smooth, clean finish for interiors the demand for flat plate wiring accessories that compliment a room’s décor has been on the rise. In response to this, the Definity Complete range which incorporates
screwless, push-fit face plates has now been extended to include the stylish Antique Brass finish. Definity Complete has evolved from Click Scolmore’s well-established Definity flat plate accessory range and features all of the same attributes including modular switching but without the visible fixing screws. Because the face plates are supplied independently of the electrical inserts, it means that the initial installation of the product can be carried out and any subsequent maintenance or decoration completed before the final fixing of the face plate. The inserts are available in black, white and grey and the addition of Antique Brass to the range of cover plate finishes brings the total number of finishes to eight. As well as Antique Brass the popular range includes Brushed Steel, Stainless Steel, Polished Chrome, White, Metal White, Matt Black and Metal Black. The Click Definity Complete range of products includes switches, power socket outlets, fused connection units, 45A switches, control switches, socket and blank plates, telephone and data sockets, satellite and coaxial outlets and media plates. The full range can be viewed on the Scolmore website –
www.scolmore.com. The Definity Complete product brochure can be downloaded from the website as well as from the Scolmore Group app.
