Swansea Bay Studios on Fabian Way was the chosen location for one of two Field Hospitals constructed as part of the UK’s response to the Coronavirus outbreak. Unlike the Nightingale hospitals in

England, the two Swansea Bay field hospitals were designed to treat patients who were less ill, but not able enough to go home. Formally a factory, then film studio complex, a structure had to be built within the building to create a modern hospital setting providing 850 beds for the NHS.

single and double socket format with two, three or four charging ports freeing up the electrical sockets for other appliances. Standby mode is activated when a device is fully charged, the charging pattern is adjusted to suit so the device is protected in the event of an overload making USB Sockets ideal for charging iPads, phones, tablets and cameras.
Installation is made
easy with colourcoded terminals for quick fitting out and only requires a 25mm depth mounting box, also making USB sockets an ideal retrofit option.

selection of heating & cooling solutions
• Useful tools for designers, installers, engineers and technicians
• Ideal solutions for residential and commercial HVAC projects
• CO2 Refrigeration Designer, VRF Designer, Aquarea Designer
• Available on Panasonic PRO Club Panasonic offers smart tools for installers and
engineers to design systems and select Panasonic products for heating and cooling solutions. Panasonic’s tools, such as the new CO2 Refrigeration Designer, the VRF Designer and the Aquarea Designer are all available to download from the Panasonic PRO Club. Advancing its latest innovations, Panasonic
recently launched a new online selection tool, the CO2 Refrigeration Designer, for its full range of cold chain and commercial refrigeration units. This handy tool enhances productivity, maximises efficiency and provides further support for users, by simplifying calculations to ensure the best solution and results are achieved. Not only is the new tool able to help save time, but it also avoids calculation errors. The estimated average time of calculation completion when using this tool is just two minutes, whereas preexisting calculation tools can usually take up to an hour. For added convenience, the calculator can also be used on mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, with results being printed on paper or saved to a PDF to be accessed anywhere.

garden. But, what started life as a “man cave”, ended up a valuable spraying studio allowing John the space to prepare the materials for his growing portfolio of jobs. The other side of the building was turned into kennels for the family pets. As with all his framing jobs, John used
Norbord’s SterlingOSB Zero for the build. “I’ve always found SterlingOSB Zero makes a structurally sound building.
It is easy to
work with and accepts studs and nails well. Other brands of OSB I’ve tried in the past have had a tendency to expand and contract, but not SterlingOSB Zero”, said John. John purchases his SterlingOSB Zero

New ranges extend Lochinvar heat pump options Amicus Boost water source heat pumps are
ising demand for low carbon heating and hot water solutions has prompted manufacturer Lochinvar to add two
new product ranges so that it now offers an extensive portfolio of heat pumps suitable for a wide range of nondomestic applications. Amicus LT airtowater heat pumps
provide low temperature hot water (LTHW) at up to 60°C for space heating and domestic hot water systems. The technology works by capturing energy extracted from ambient air.
designed to be used as part of hybrid systems. They extract energy from water sources such as heat recovery and reclaim systems.
Amicus LT LT models are suitable for supplying low temperature heating systems such as underfloor heating or hybrid systems with high efficiency gasfired boilers and water heaters. They can also be integrated with an Amicus Boost heat pump to provide even greater energy and carbon savings. They can achieve a coefficient of efficiency (COP) of 4.61 (more than 400% energy efficiency) at an indicative temperature of 7°C and flow temperatures of 30°C to 35°C. They have heating capacities ranging from 22 to 464kW and will operate successfully at outdoor temperatures as low as 20°C delivering seasonal COP ratings of up to 4.13.

that Andreas Örje Wellstam is appointed to be the next CEO of Swegon. Andreas possesses all the qualities that has been on our list of requirements during the recruitment process. He is a respected and appreciated leader with a strong drive to build successful companies in an international environment, with a visionary approach and a strong focus on growth,” says Jan Hjertonsson, CEO Latour and Chairman of the Board of Swegon. “I am both excited and honored to take on the
role as CEO of Swegon. Swegon has, under the guidance of Hannu Saastamoinen, grown from a profitable Nordic ventilation company into a strong and successful international indoor environment solution provider with a turnover of 6 bn SEK. I am eager to take Swegon to the next level, strengthening our local presence, and continuing to build on our system approach to deliver solutions for healthy and comfortable indoor environments”, says Andreas Örje Wellstam. “Under the leadership of Hannu Saastamoinen,

offering a viable alternative to boilers as the principal heat generator in both domestic and commercial applications. Inherent in the heat pump’s design is that the smaller the temperature between the heat source (air or ground) and the heat sink/emitter (underfloor heating, fan convector, radiator), the higher the energy efficiency of that heat pump. This higher efficiency means lower fuel bills and greater carbon savings. Smith’s fan convectors can work very effectively at system

temperatures as low as 40°C. This allows your chosen heat pump to work close to its maximum levels of efficiency, which means it will reduce the user’s energy costs and energy consumption in the way it was intended. By contrast a standard radiator is designed to be efficient at higher temperatures, 45°C and above, which automatically reduces the heat pump’s efficiency by more than 10%. In addition, the size of the radiator has to be increased significantly to cope with the lower system temperatures.

health services are under, it is very easy to overlook the fact that there are also many positive activities taking place. The fact that some of these improvements are happening, literally behind closed doors, makes it even more important to place a spotlight on them. Despite these demands, many
S
hospitals such as the Sligo University Hospital, a busy 359 bed, acute general hospital in the West of Ireland, have recently had their efforts to reduce energy use recognised by the SEAI when they were announced as the winners of the Sustainable Energy Public Sector Award for delivering savings of 20%. Grundfos Pumps were
delighted to play their part by providing the hospital with a detailed Energy Check report that outlined the energy savings that were achievable by exchanging the existing pumps with intelligent MAGNA3 and TPE3 pumps.
These pumps, now insitu, are
remotely monitored via Grundfos CIM300 BACnet cards which allow the operators to monitor and trend individual pump performance. The hospital has also taken advantage of the integrated Heat Energy Monitors available on all Grundfos MAGNA3 and TPE3 model pumps enabling them to map and build up an understanding of the main heat users throughout the hospital.

Pressing Matters
technology today is "pressing" because it saves precious time, involves no open flames and leads to a highquality connection. For any press connection to be made successfully, pipes, fittings and the inlaid Oring are pressed together with a professional pressing tool. Normally, every manufacturer’s system can only be pressed with one very specific contour. SANHA however offers full tool compatibility for their metal piping systems. This means that up to and including 54 mm, all original press profiles (SA, V or M) can be used. For plastic piping

systems, the tool compatibility applies to TH, B, F, H and U can be used for our new range. The benefit here is obvious – installers can use their existing tooling in any building project where SANHA piping systems are installed and be safe in the knowledge that the connection will work irrespective of the tool used. Furthermore, most SANHA piping systems have a leak path function which immediately shows unpressed connections as well as Push & Stay, so that a fitting will hold in place. This is especially practical when making connections over head.
