Advertorial WHAT’S NEW SPONSORED BY Airflow helps Heathcott Road achieve passive house certification


eathcott Road, a social housing project in Leicester, has been granted full Passive House status. Comprised of 68 new


dwellings, all benefitting from a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit, including the DV96 Adroit, the site is the largest housing scheme of its type in Europe to receive the status. Heathcott Road is a 13.2 acre affordable housing scheme. The former derelict allotment was sold by Leicester City Council for a nominal fee of £1 to emh homes, on the basis that the housebuilder and appointed property developer, Westleigh, provide affordable living to the area. To achieve Passive House certification and


meet airtightness criteria, each dwelling could not exceed 0.6 m3/hr/m2 air changes per hour at 50 Pascals pressure (ACH50). In fact, many of the dwellings were air tight to an exceptional infiltration level of just 0.2 m3/hr/m2 air changes per hour at 50 Pascals pressure (ACH50). As such, the DV96 Adroit units were specified to prevent the build‐up of indoor air pollutants that can be harmful to human health and the building fabric. For more information on Airflow

The design and build of the new boiler house comes as part of a £80m expansion plan that began last year, bringing the number of local people working at Wren to 2,000. Part of the manufacturing line


requires constant hot water to be fed through process pipework to heater batteries that humidify the air to spray paint various kitchen components such as doors, drawers and furniture. These machines are built in‐situ due to their vast size, meaning space was at a premium for any supporting infrastructure on the production floor. NTI Yorkshire was brought in to design and manage the installation of the mechanical services due to managing director


Neville Tucker’s long‐standing relationship with the company. Darren Finley, Chief


Commercial Officer at Ideal Commercial, added: “This project is a shining example of collaboration between three local companies of the Humberside area. It is also proof that one of the key reasons Ideal Commercial has a well‐established reputation as a leading British manufacturer is due to the longstanding partnerships we have with customers and our experience in delivering solutions that work for their circumstances.” For more information on Ideal Commercial’s Imax Xtra EL, visit:

uThe CIAT Roadshow stationed outside Twickenham Stadium for the final leg of its UK tour.


Twickenham Stadium, attended by leading heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) contractors, installers, end users and building services consultants from across the capital and beyond. The Twickenham event was the


C


last in the UK for CIAT, who visited eight cities across the length and breadth of the country. But that’s just a portion of the company’s mammoth pan‐continental technology tour ‐ CIAT is taking a nine‐month, 25,000‐mile trip across Europe and North Africa, including stops in Morocco, Turkey and Russia, to connect with customers and highlight their newest product developments and comprehensive system offerings. At Twickenham, CIAT and sister


company Toshiba Air Conditioning shared the prestigious stadium platform for the launch of Toshiba’s latest 3‐pipe heat recovery VRF system, SHRM‐e. This was followed by a briefing on upcoming Toshiba product developments. Among those officiating the launch and welcoming visitors were Ross Shuster, president of International Operations for UTC Climate, Controls & Security, and David Dunn, director and general manager of CIAT and Toshiba Air Conditioning, as well as many senior colleagues.


uDavid Dunn reports on delegate feedback on refrigerant options.


Dunn said: “Twickenham


provided a fitting culmination to CIAT’s UK grand tour 2017, and a not‐to‐be‐missed opportunity to roll‐out Toshiba’s latest and greatest VRF system to key customers, consultants and end users.” “This inspirational and iconic


venue reflects our own values as a company, in terms of approach, professionalism, respect and commitment. It was a fitting location to introduce the most recent innovative products from both companies and share our future product plans with customers.” The day concluded with a gala dinner in the Members’ Lounge with guests entertained by a panel of superstars from the world of rugby, including former England captain Will Carling, Scottish rugby legend Gavin Hastings, Welsh stars Scott Quinnell and Jamie Roberts, and Irish national player Gordon D’Arcy.
