benefits of building with wood. Developed in partnership with the Technical University of Munich, the unique in­depth literature review dissects the increasing volume of evidence in this field that proves wood to be a stand apart building material option. The analysis reviews multiple areas of

research, such as wood’s ability to reduce stress and boost productivity levels. One study saw participants experiencing a decrease in cortisol levels by 7.5%, implying a stress­ reducing effect , and another revealed students in wooden classrooms had

Hygiene is also covered, with studies showing Coronaviruses (SARS ­CoV­2) applied to wooden surfaces can only be replicated for 12 hours, whereas on surfaces made of plastic, stainless steel, glass and masonry, the viruses remain multipliable for up to 96 hours . “Building with wood has many benefits, such as lowering environmental impact. But often underappreciated, is how it can improve health and wellbeing,” says Sebastian Hernandez, Building Concepts Manager, Building Solutions, Stora Enso Wood Products. “We hope that our study spurs an increased interest in research in the future.”

Transparent covers for Scolmore’s Aquip66 waterproof range


CHAS urges


construction industry to embrace Common Assessment Standard


Standard following the announcement of a data­ sharing agreement between the scheme’s providers. The Common Assessment Standard was launched in 2019 by Build UK, with the support of CECA, to replace multiple assessment schemes with one comprehensive industry­agreed questionnaire. CHAS was the first Recognised Assessment Body to offer the Common Assessment Standard and it has fast become the industry’s gold standard for pre­qualification. The data­sharing agreement, which was announced on 29th March, 2021, will ensure clients who specify the CHAS Common Assessment Standard can access a contractor’s prequalification data via any of the Recognised Assessment Bodies, regardless of who carries out the certification. It gives clients access to a greater range of contractors who meet the standard as well as saving contractors time and money as they will only need to undertake one annual assessment via CHAS. CHAS Managing Director Ian McKinnon

range of cable clips. The new fire­rated Metal Twin and Earth Cable Clips are 18th edition compliant and will sit within the growing Unicrimp Q­Fire fire­rated range. The 18th Edition wiring regulations stipulate that cable support systems must be constructed with materials that will withstand premature collapse caused by direct exposure to heat. There are no applications excluded – trunking, conduit and cabling fixed to surfaces of the building or attached to cable support systems must all have fire­resistant supports in place. These new additions provide installers with an expanded choice of fixing solutions,

Advertorial BSEE Belimo Sensors Improve Indoor Air Quality


VAC System operation is a critical requirement for maintaining adequate, safe


indoor air quality (IAQ). Belimo HVAC Sensor


technology offers accuracy, superior reliability, easy installation and seamless integration with major building automation systems (BAS). We offer a complete range of


sensors to measure temperature, humidity (relative humidity, absolute humidity, enthalpy and dew point), pressure, CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Our sensors are also available


as combination sensors with more than one measured value.


Proper air system performance in buildings can be challenging. Damaged, faulty or inadequate devices have a big impact on occupant safety, comfort and productivity. The 7 Essentials of Healthy Indoor Air Quality:­ 1. Continuous and reliable measurement, display and monitoring indoor air quality


2. Accurate amount of air to the zone and controlled removal of contaminated air


3. Well designed air dilution and airflow pattern


4. Active pressurisation of envelope and spaces


5. Correct temperature and humidity conditioning


6. Effective Filtration 7. Proper amount of outside air. HVAC systems can be


transformed into safe and reliable systems with Belimo actuators, valves and sensors. Our retrofit solutions offer quick and convenient replacements, compatible with all major control systems, maximising system performance.
