Lighting control system designer and manufacturer Prolojik has supplied its award‐winning Power over Ethernet (PoE) Lightmatrix system to prime secure storage facility, The Armitage, in Marylebone, West London.
Specified by facilities technology consultancy firm Tuckers Consultancy Ltd and installed by R B Emerson Group Ltd, Prolojik’s unique PoE Lightmatrix system was chosen in part to meet the challenge posed by a particularly low service void throughout the building. As a PoE product, Lightmatrix is powered via data cabling rather than electrical wiring, which means that the majority of final circuit and associated containment are not needed, significantly reducing the amount of space required to house its infrastructure. As well as powering and controlling super low energy and highly efficient LED lighting, Lightmatrix also enables integration with other building controls for an integrated services network and seamless user experience. At The Armitage, Lightmatrix is integrated with the door entry system, which could instruct the illumination of the unique path to an individual unit when a

storage client uses their key fob to enter the building.
Launched in 2015 and winner of Lux Controls Product Award in the same year, Lightmatrix is the only Power over Ethernet system of its kind in the UK. It combines plug-and-play data cabling with DALI standard features to provide a highly energy efficient, simple to install lighting control system.
Due to the significant reduction in electrical cabling and electrical power used in its installation and operation, it produces savings of around 11% in energy output and installation cost savings of around 30% in a typical commercial building, compared to 240V LED systems. Lightmatrix was installed throughout all client areas within the facility, excluding the reception and garage areas.

Vent‐Axia helps the UK Green Building Council beat records
The Lo-Carbon T-Series has been installed in windows and a partition wall and was selected as UK-GBC wanted CO2 control for occupancy comfort. Energy efficiency was also key, so a low carbon unit, such as the Lo-Carbon T-Series, was essential.
Now completed, the project has achieved the lowest embodied carbon footprint ever recorded for an office refurbishment in the UK, with the embodied carbon footprint 22% below a comparable “standard” fit-out.
uVent‐Axia’s Lo‐Carbon T‐Series fan has been installed at the UK Green Building Council’s refurbished London headquarters.
“We are delighted to be part of this landmark project and for our Lo-Carbon T-Series to have contributed towards achieving such an impressively low embodied carbon footprint,” said David Cook, Product Marketing Manager – Non-Residential at Vent-Axia.
“It’s 30 years since we first launched the T-Series and it has become the UK’s favourite commercial fan.”
A study by BESA found that 70% of office workers
believe poor workplace air quality is having a negative effect on their day-to-day productivity and well-being, and a third are concerned poor indoor air quality (IAQ) could be having a negative effect on their health.
Meanwhile, the report from WorldGBC ‘Health, Wellbeing and Productivity in Offices: The next chapter for green building’ states that the health and productivity benefits of good IAQ are well established.
With this in mind the UK-GBC office’s innovative ventilation system, which includes Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon T-Series fans, has delivered a massive 750% increase in background fresh air provision. Ideal for refurbishment projects, Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon T-Series Fan range can simply replace traditional commercial extract/supply fans with a low carbon alternative.

A major UK hospital has implemented an emergency contingency plan to ensure continuity of heating and hot water for wards, operating theatres and offices in the event of failure of its primary boiler system.
Vent‐Axia has supplied its Lo‐Carbon T‐Series fan as part of a new office fit‐out for a renowned green building charity requiring improved ventilation. The UK Green Building Council (UK‐GBC) has refurbished its London HQ, with the aim of challenging industry thinking as to what is achievable in a small scale fit out.
Hospital ensures heating continuity in the event of boiler failure
The FM company responsible for building services on the large hospital site contracted Watkins Hire to provide a high efficiency standby boiler system to replace the main boiler in the event of failure, under the hire specialist’s Temperature Control Emergency Planning Services (TCEPS) scheme. TCEPS provides total assurance for end users who rely on critical plant to maintain business continuity. It covers the provision of standby plant to generate steam, hot water, heating, cooling or dehumidification for vital temperature control. Failure of existing plant in critical applications can have disastrous consequences, including downtime, closure of facilities, financial penalties, loss of revenue and, in healthcare situations, a failure to carry out a duty of care. In addition to hospitals and care homes, key sectors covered by the scheme include the manufacturing and process industry, hotels/leisure and IT/telecoms. The Gold, Silver and Bronze choice of cover enables building owners to match the level of
support with the criticality of the application and their budget.
Each TCEPS plan has a unique reference number, which the end user or responsible FM company quotes at the time of any emergency call, ensuring a timely response and minimising downtime. Under the service, specialist Watkins assessors first carry out site visits to survey and evaluate the requirement, then produce a detailed plan to provide the necessary support to maintain temperature control in the event of a breakdown of one or more items of key equipment. The service includes installation, commissioning and transport planning and fuel management for the duration of the contract using Watkins’ unique GSM telemetry service and 24/7, 365 day cover.

The project, alongside the Olympic park, comprises construction of a tunnel portal, a new, elevated station for the Docklands Light Railway and an Emergency Intervention Point (EIP) Building. The latter delivers several functions in one building: it allows access for emergency services, provides an evacuation point, and serves to ventilate the associated tunnels. To deliver the ventilation, Gilberts’ WH75 high performance louvres have been supplied. Single bank screens integrated into the concrete cladding have been created from a series of kit form louvres, supplemented by penthouse turret housings on the roof to provide efficient stack ventilation.
“Quality was a major consideration in the whole pitch,” explained Gilberts Blackpool’s Sales Manager John Hanger. “It was a stringent specification, and project management was complex to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. Our quality – through to being ISO 9001 accredited – was a determining factor in winning the business.”
Gilberts’ WH75 louvre features a 75mm blade pitch to deliver high performance with Class A weatherability and a free ventilation area of 50%. Testing in accordance with European Standard EN13030 for weather louvre performance shows the Gilberts’ WH75 louvres to be 99.5% effective in screening/exhaust applications and 99% effective even with face velocities of up to 1m/sec.
