BSEE Advertorial Panasonic extends deadline for its Air Source Heat Pump Cashback Scheme


to provide installers and homeowners with a longer period to benefit from this generous scheme. Now extended for a further two months, the

two schemes offer generous cashback on the completion of installations of Aquarea Air­to­ Water heat pumps. Projects must be completed by 31 August 2021 and all claims for the cash need to be submitted by 30 September 2021. Richard Bishop, UK Head of Marketing for


Panasonic commented, “We are delighted to be able to help both installers and homeowners with the extension of our Green Homes


n light of the government closing its Green Homes Grant, Panasonic has announced an extension to its own Green Cashback Schemes


Cashback schemes. Homeowners can take advantage of the reliable, sustainable heating and hot water provided by Aquarea heat pumps, and by extending the scheme, they will have more time to complete their projects during what has been a challenging period. The Aquarea range is one of the widest on the market and offers capacities and configurations to suit all homes and heating requirements. With the planned phase­out of gas boilers coming soon, an air source heat pump is the wisest energy saving improvement a homeowner can make right now for heating and hot water.”

turning up the ventilation, or installing new ventilation,” claims indoor air quality expert Keith Esdon. “Viruses are spread by infected, possibly asymptomatic people, so it will be necessary to remove infectious particles from expired air when people meet. That is why we developed Meeting­ Air™, a low­cost but high­specification air filtration device that sits in the middle of a meeting room table, drawing air from meeting participants and removing potentially hazardous particles.” Airborne pathogens spread when people either


A


inhale infectious particles or touch infected surfaces and then touch their face. Contact transmission can be reduced by hand washing and disinfection, but an infected person can quickly contaminate the air in a meeting room. Following the pandemic it is likely that people


with flu­like symptoms will stay at home, so the main risk will be from asymptomatic people, who will unknowingly exhale small viral aerosols (<5 μm), which settle less readily (similar to cigarette smoke) and are easily inhaled. The Meeting­Air device will therefore help to reduce risk when people are in close proximity with others.

Regulations Fire Safety Approved Document B. Changes to the Building Regulations, which came into force in


D


November 2020, requires “Ductwork penetrating through the external cavity including termination to be non­combustible” when above 18m in England and 11m in Scotland, although it is expected the more stringent 11m rule will eventually be applied throughout the UK. The new Solis Air Brick is made from 1.5mm galvanized steel (fire class A1) non­combustible material to meet these changes to the regulations and ensure compliance. The Domus Ventilation Solis Air Brick comes in three options: 204x60 single metal air brick, and 220x90 and 220x126 double metal air bricks. They are suitable for use with all external wall types and come with a wide range of stylish architectural grilles in a choice of colours for internal and external use. They are fully compatible with Domus rigid ducting ranges and Domus Thermal duct insulation, a patented system that significantly improves the thermal insulation of round and rectangular ventilation ducting, thus reducing heat loss and preventing the formation of condensation. The Solis Air Brick is the latest addition to Domus Ventilation’s Building


Regulations compliant ducting fire protection products. The company has a range of Fire Sleeves and Fire Collars which prevent the spread of fire where ventilation ducting penetrates fire compartment walls. To achieve this, Domus Fire Collars and Sleeves are made using a flexible galvanised steel shell containing graphite based intumescent material to ensure impressive fire ratings and have been tested to BSEN 1366­3: 2009. For customers wishing to find out more about the recent changes to

The Flameguard intumescent seal, when exposed to fire, forms a dense carbon char which separates and insulates the substrate from the heat of the fire. The expanded seal eliminates the flow of air through the void and thereby starves the fire of vital elements for combustion. There are four versions of the Flameguard LED downlights in the range – GU10 cast fixed, GU10 fixed, GU10 cast adjustable and GU10 adjustable ­ and they are available in a choice of chrome, satin chrome and white. They have an IP rating of up to IP65 and come with a five year warranty.
