FEATURE Cath Noakes to deliver BESA keynote P
rofessor Cath Noakes OBE, Professor of Environmental Engineering for Buildings at the University of Leeds, will deliver the keynote address at this year’s BESA National Conference in London on October 20.
Professor Noakes, who co-chaired the Environment and Modelling Group of the government’s
Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) during the pandemic, will emphasise the importance of addressing ventilation as part of the unprecedented national focus on making buildings safer and healthier.
S First Mats Press Release
pills are inevitable in any industrial setting, but that doesn’t mean they have to be dangerous. With the correct provisions in place, spills of oil, chemicals and other potentially harmful substances can be contained before contaminating the environment.
Floor matting specialists First Mats are excited to launch a new range of spill control products which are now available to order from their website. Spill control is a significant part of the Birmingham-based firm’s product range expansion, which now covers most areas of premises. Among the new products are Spill Kits, which contain an array of fast-acting absorbent materials
to quickly respond to accidents involving Oils, Chemicals and other industrial fluids. Depending on the model, they can absorb between 20 and 240 litres of liquid. These absorbent materials can also be purchased individually for minor spills, such as Pads, Rolls or Socks, which are cost-effective and fast-acting products.
The Conference, which takes place at the Novotel London West in Hammersmith, has an over-
arching theme: ‘Bringing buildings to life’ and will feature a wide range of speakers considering how the industry can make buildings “fit for people, fit for purpose, and fit for life”. Secure your tickers HERE – BESA members go free with a £!0 donation per booking!

LG LAUNCHES ASHP NEW BUILD DESIGN SERVICE
L
eading HVAC manufacturer LG has launched a New Build Design Service, to assist new build developers when specifying heat pumps into new homes. This new service is for developments of 6 or more plots and will provide full designs for plumbing and heating layouts along with equipment schedules that specify the heat pump required, radiator or underfloor manifold heating positions, pipework type and length and controls to ensure that the system which is specified will provide the necessary heating and hot water solution for any house archetype. Furthermore, LG also offers a unique service for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, determining the optimal location and performance simulation of the outdoor units. This new service comes hot on the heels of the recent launch of the latest version of the LG Therma V Monobloc air to water heat pump – the Therma V Monobloc S - which builds on the success of the original Monobloc with a number of important new features and improved performance criteria. The new Monobloc S range further supports LG’s Split, Hydro Split and High Temperature Split
Heat Pumps which all benefit from the company’s in-house revolutionary R1 Compressor technology. Homeowners can further benefit through the use of LG’s ThinQ platform, which the company integrates in to products ranging from TV’s to refrigerators and enables a total smart home control for the consumer with the purchase of the LG Wifi Modem and by downloading the ThinQ app. LG’s National Sales Manager – Heating Projects is Peter Spurway: “With Building Regulations in England and Wales changing and SAP10 going live in 2022 – LG understands it is timely to launch a New Build Design Service for housing developers looking to embrace the transition to low carbon heating technologies. This new service is in direct response to customer demand and increased deployment of LG heat pumps on new build projects. As a special business unit of LG Electronics our housebuilder projects team is extremely proud and excited to be bringing LG’s world-class IOT enabled smart home innovations to the UK construction industry. “We look forward to continuing working closely with developers, architects, SAP assessors and building services consultants. Our personalised service promises to help ensure that the homes our clients provide are future proofed and offer the highest energy cost savings - as well as the low carbon benefits that will be a feature of the UK economy in increasing numbers over the next decade.” To find out more about the new service and to get details of how LG can help you in the months ahead, head for

“Our range of Evo absorbent materials is one we’re especially excited about”, states First Mats Marketing Director Richard O’Connor, “They’re made from 85% recycled natural materials, which is much better for the environment than synthetic alternatives, and the amount of Oil they can absorb is outstanding!”. The range also includes bunded pallets that can hold a variety of standard drums and IBCs. Most
models are designed to contain 110% of the storage capacity, preventing the fluid from leaking containers overspilling and contaminating the environment. Moreover, they are reusable, easy to clean and compatible with oils and most chemicals. For more information about the new Spill Control range or any of the other safety products from First Mats, please contact them by email at

rimley, UK, 13th September 2022 – Carlo Gavazzi has launched the DUA55 a single phase relay for detection of incorrect mains voltage; designed to meet the specific requirements set out in the IET Wiring Regulations, BS7671:2018 to ensure that all new EV charge points are electrically safe. The relay operates when the monitored voltage is within the voltage window 207V to 253V AC in
order to protect against over and under voltage; its alarm output has also been fixed at 4 seconds to comply with the regulations. Stopping any incorrect power supply voltage from the desired one. Only 17.5 mm wide and is suitable for both rear and front panel mounting on a single phase EV charging unit or a separate box, this will ensure the user is protected against electric shock if the PEN were to become damaged.
The relay sends an output signal to the EV charger to tell it to electrically disconnect the vehicle
from the live conductors of the supply and from protective earth within 5 seconds (in accordance with Regulation 543.3.3.101(ii)), in the event of the utilisation voltage at the charging point, between the line and neutral conductors, being greater than 253 V rms or less than 207 V rms. For additional safety, the relay can only be reset if the voltage between line and neutral conductors
is in the range 207 to 253 V rms. Carlo Gavazzi’s DUA55CM44BXXX single phase monitoring relay is practical and cost-effective at preventing electric shocks with residential EV Charging stations. It eliminates the requirement for additional earth electrodes whilst improving the overall safety of the charge point installation. The DUA55CM44B006 is approved by CE, and UK CA.
