It is possible to have master and slave Caspian fan convectors that integrate the entire range of EC Caspian products. The thermostats can be used as standalone localised controls, or with the integration of our hub control multiple thermostats using our ZigBee platform and controlled via app over the internet. This level of control is cost effective and is far more economical than using a full BMS system.

ideal for the direct switching of heaters, fans and valves. Beckhoff’s KLseries I/O terminals can simply be added to the BC9191 to expand its capabilities. The twin Ethernet ports can be used to connect the
controllers to a wider network structure and also support Modbus TCP communication to allow the connection of other intelligent devices. By adding the KL6583 EnOcean transceiver, the BC9191 opens up connectivity to the world of EnOcean wireless energyharvesting devices. Batteryless switches and sensors can be connected to further enhance functionality without the need for disruptive cabling. The BC91910100 variant incorporates an RS485 serial port supporting Modbus RTU and DMX for advanced lighting control. Beckhoff’s free TwinCAT 2 application development
software includes comprehensive libraries for all common functions such as HVAC and lighting control, thus reducing programming effort.

festivals and sporting events, that had to be temporarily put on hold. Many of these venues are supported by a small army of Grundfos pumps and solutions. This includes the Glastonbury festival, that was due to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year with a bigger and better lineup than ever, gracing its famous pyramid, and other stages. Then there is Wimbledon, synonymous with strawberries and cream as well a global audience who tune in to see worldclass lawn tennis, that always been our precursor to summer.

www.grundfos.co.uk Edinburgh Printmakers start a new chapter A
former rubber factory and brewery complex in Fountainbridge, is now the home of the Edinburgh Printmakers. This heritage building has attracted
much interest and attention and has been the recipient of many awards, both for the project itself, as well as its social impact. Additionally it is acknowledged as being one of Scotland’s best new buildings. Grundfos Pumps worked closely with M&E consultants
Harley Haddow and contractors Emtec Building Services, to come up with the right solution for this landmark project. Specifying a range of ultraefficient Grundfos MAGNA3
circulators that are ideal for a range of HVAC demands as well as several sets from their extensive water boosting range, all parties knew that the M&E infrastructure would be ready to answer all that would be asked of it. Already proving to be a real winner, the project has established itself as an important hub
for both print as well as visual arts, that is providing studios, classrooms, galleries, retail and hire options, under its roof. As the print industry enters a new era, this building is proof that print, far from being part of our history, is set to be intrinsically linked with our future, and will continue to play a role in our life’s in the years to come.

providing products that are well adapted to the local market and developing fully tested, tailored solutions to specifically suit UK and Ireland customers. The need for a test furnace had become more urgent following the
Grenfell Tower disaster, which led to unprecedented demand for certification testing and put huge strain on existing capacity across the sector. This had the knockon effect of making it difficult for manufacturers to find facilities able to carry out the crucial preliminary tests needed to help develop new products.
Specifications With that in mind, Smoke and Fire Director Andrew Collard said “we feel it now is the time for the company to have its own fire test furnace in house; designed to our specifications. This will help us keep up with plans to serve our customers with improved installation methods, well adapted for our local needs.” The furnace at Whitstable will allow Actionair to speed up development
testing in line with the appropriate industry technical standards. It will also make it possible to quickly develop, test and refine different installation methods to make life easier for its customers on site. “The industry has been held back by lack of availability of test
facilities for too long. This has lengthened lead times and delayed innovation in this vital market,” said Swegon UK&I Managing Director Robin Vollert.

uceco has recently supplied energy effieceint LED lighting
to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. When opened to the public in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum was immediately hailed as one of the world's most spectacular and stylish buildings, clad in glass, titanium, and limestone. The principle luminiare installed was Luceco’s Guardian Pro Luminaire.
Guardian Pro,a horizontal commercial grade floodlight designed to replace HID fittings, was used to illuminate the architectural features of this historic site. Ranging from 50W to 245W, 6,800 to 30,000 lumens achieving up to 136 Llm/cW, Guardian Pro features 'fit and tilt' brackets for simple installation with tilt adjustment locks. 70,000 hours of maintenance free working life was also an interesting feature. Built alongside the Nervion River, the museum holds huge
international importance, exhibiting works from international artists across many timeperiods. Designed by CanadianAmerican architect Frank Gehry, the museum is architecturally stunning, particularly in the evening, due to its lighting.
