SPONSORS WHAT’S NEW Mikrofill at goodyers end Primary School, Warwickshire
oodyers End Primary School is a Community school that was established in 1996 following the linking of Goodyers End First & Middle Schools. The school has a team of hardworking and committed staff who pull together to ensure that all the children receive a high quality of education. Under the umbrella of Warwickshire County Council the decision was made to replace the existing LPHW heating plant at the school. The existing boilers and associated ancillaries were removed and replaced with new Mikrofill equipment by established Warwickshire term contractor Dodd Group Ltd. These included 3 No Ethos 90kW stainless steel condensing boilers each with an integral shunt pump providing a total modulation of 30 > 1 (270 > 9kW). Supplied with

ontour from Luceco has been installed at the ValenciaCabañal Railway Station located in the CabañalCañamelar neighbourhood in the Spanish city of Valencia. Contour is the ideal linear fluorescent luminaire replacement where continuous runs of illumination are required in many commercial and service environments. The LED lighting system consists of
C
connectable modules offered in 600 mm, 1200 mm, 1500 mm and 1800 mm lengths that can be surface mounted, suspended or recessed. Seamless lines of cost effective LED lighting can be created with interconnecting power and module connectors including corners, T junction and cross pieces. Other options include direct and indirect lighting distribution as well as DALI and emergency SelfTest variants. The original station of Cabañal was opened in 1862 with a new station built
streamlining its marketleading range of hydraulic flush control valves to save valuable shelf space for merchant customers.
C The High Sensitivity Low Pressure (HSLP)
valve, suitable for tankfed systems with a 0.5 to 3 metre head of water, is being withdrawn to slim down the range. Cistermiser will continue to supply the popular Standard (STD) and Low Pressure (LP) valves, which are colourcoded blue and green respectively. Cistermiser hydraulic valves, fitted on the supply pipe to the urinal cistern, use a unique mechanism that prevents water waste by ensuring an autoflush cistern is only filled and can only flush when the washroom is used. The valves operate in response to shortterm pressure drops created by the use of taps or WCs on the same supply.
istermiser, the market leader in intelligent washroom controls and water efficiency, is
alongside in 1991. Current railway facilities owners Adif are now benefitting from over 50,000 hours operational life offered by Contour as well as no maintenance over the lifetime of the luminaire, an important factor when considering applications such as railway stations where 24 hours a day operation may be required.

Cistermiser streamlines hydraulic valve range Mark Schlotel, Marketing Manager
for Cistermiser, said: “Three now becomes two for our hydraulic valve range. We will be discontinuing the HSLP valve from 1st June 2018, with only a modest stock retained at our premises in Woodley, Reading, to
cater for essential spares requirements.” “The HSLP is a proven and longestablished
product in the Cistermiser catalogue, but there is no doubt that in recent years our bestselling IRC2 infrared urinal flushing control has become the solution of choice for high sensitivity low pressure applications. Our Trade merchant partners readily stock the IRC2, so they can recommend this product to installers alongside our STD and LP hydraulic valves for future projects, to offer a complete range of solutions.” For more information on Cistermiser

have been strategically positioned across the floor spaces, to provide fresh air with no need for additional ductwork or plant. Normally automatically controlled using CO2 and temperature sensors, at Oceansgate a manual boost option also gives occupants control over temperature and air quality in both summer and winter (up to 143 l/s in summer
he UK’s only Marine Enterprise Zone is set to achieve excellence, in part
and 39 l/s in winter); in effect, the system functions primarily as a natural ventilation system, with the built in low energy fan supplementing throughout the year as conditions demand. Explains SDS Associate Mechanical Engineer Tom Lawson, “Plymouth City Council wants Oceansgate to be an exemplar scheme in terms of low energy. Gilberts’ MFS gave us a low energy solution, with greater control over internal temperatures and air quality compared to just openable windows in both summer and winter. The integrated louvre and ventilation from one source i.e. Gilberts, gave us the performance required with what I believe to be overall economies.” MFS draws fresh air into the
building, using a mixing damper to modulate airflow and mix the incoming fresh air with warmer exhaust air, extracting the heat without the need for a separate exchanger (as required in conventional MVHR systems). The

Warming Potential (GWP) of R32 compared with outgoing R410A. However, it is not widely appreciated that the technology employed by Toshiba means our systems have a 30per cent lower refrigerant charge. In the case of R32 systems, the combined effect of
lower inherent GWP and reduced charge results in an 80per cent reduction in total equivalent kilograms of carbon dioxide for Toshiba air conditioners.” He added: “This represents a
huge step forward in reducing environmental impact. If replicated across the industry, it would transform the ACR sector’s combined carbon footprint.” The new brochures can be downloaded from the company’s website via the following links.

Trend announces latest development of its successful IQ™VISION Software to monitor, manage and control smart buildings and estates
P
acked with features to get the very best from a BEMS, IQ™VISION integrates Trend
controllers, third party devices and internet protocols into a centralised software platform that allows modern connected buildings to be managed efficiently. IQ®VISION is configured using
the stateoftheart Tridium Niagara 4 interface. As well as being bold, intuitive and easy to use, it features interactive dashboards, dynamic schematics, realtime reports, alarm handling and occupancy time scheduling. Trend will shortly be launching
the latest version – IQ™VISION 2.2 – which delivers a range of cutting edge improvements unique to Trend, including extended controller support, faster device discovery and reliability, as well as simplifying the engineering and operation of a BEMS by widening the technical scope of the tasks that it can perform. Alan Johnstone, Partner Channel Sales Leader explains, ‘With IQ™VISION 2.2 we had two clear goals; make it easier to engineer, and simpler to use. In fact, we have delivered three, with the addition of an allnew Trend Driver that provides unrivalled performance and data security.’ Approved Partners will also
integrated low energy fan energises to blend the internal air, ensuring an even distribution of airflow, with control over temperature and CO2 levels within, and maintenance of a comfortable internal environment for occupants. In keeping with its “green”
credentials Gilberts maintains that MFS can ventilate a typical classroomsized space for less than £5/annum(1). The product’s
design and construction has a positive impact on the overall building energy efficiency too: MFS attains air leakage better than legislative requirements 5m3/HR/m2, and a U value of 1W/m2/°C. Gilberts MFS was the first
hybrid standalone solution to be developed in the UK.

benefit from faster configuration. The Niagara 4 platform means that they are able to reuse existing data and thereby reduce the time spent generating new assets. Furthermore, IQ™VISION 2.2 reduces the number of engineering steps necessary for displaying live data points on a dashboard page. Integration of third party products is now simpler, more cost effective and is certified by an independent body; and the identification of faults and ways to make energy savings are easier to identify. With no limit on the number of
concurrent users, every authorised person is allowed access to their area’s environmental controls and they can have their own tailored graphics. This is ideal for installations of IQ™VISION in rapidly changing and extensive public estates like universities or hospitals or for customers with
an evergrowing portfolio of sites. Meanwhile, in order to enhance
performance, the system is scalable and highly secure, as it comes with in built authentication that requires users to choose strong Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) passwords that are then encrypted. To further enhance security, a comprehensive audit trail of database changes, database storage and backup, global time functions, calendars, central scheduling, and control and energy management routines can be configured.
IQ™VISION is the successor to
Trend’s 963 Supervisor, which is now in maintenance mode and will be completely phased out by mid 2019. In order to streamline the transfer process, Trend has developed a System Migration Tool that enables users to import system data from an existing 963 Supervisor, which converts up to 50 pages in less than 5 minutes! In addition, a Schematics Migration Tool automatically converts schematics and library symbols to the new IQ™VISION, which can then be edited.
‘IQ™VISION has been incredibly
well received by those looking to monitor, manage and control their smart buildings and estates,’ concludes Trend’s Alan Johnstone. ‘This latest version 2.2 takes its capabilities up to a level of control and fine detail that was previously considered out of reach. With the 963 Supervisor reaching end of life next year, I strongly recommend upgrading to IQ™VISION 2.2 as soon as possible in order to get the benefits from its advanced features.’ For further information please
