success of our export business is built on relatively simple foundations. We thoroughly research any new market and appoint a local distributor prior to even considering commencing sales. It does, of course, help if your products are widely viewed as the best available anywhere in the world.” “In the case of the Latin American countries this
research showed we needed another local layer to help develop the various individual markets, which led to us recruiting a business development manager – a role carried out by Gabriela CastroFontoura from her base in Montevideo, Uruguay.” Since commencing export sales to Latin America in
2009, Ellis has secured a string of highprofile specifications for its electrical safety products, including most recently an order for its Vulcan+ cable cleats for installation.

With its manufacturing base in Italy, Aermec is
only too aware of the devasting effects of Covid 19 across the country. It FCZH fan coil is a dual purpose unit that provides comfort and sanitisation in one unit and is suitable for retrofits depending on the spatial limitations. “Covid19 has focused awareness on the
importance of indoor air quality. Italy was hit particularly hard by the virus. The FCZH offers a solution that provides comfort whilst the sanitising action of the photocatalytic system helps to limit the spread of infections,” explains Clifford Saunders, Aermec’s Senior Applications Engineer.

Zehnder Group UK launches new generation of bespoke radiant panels
Z
ehnder Group UK, the innovative indoor climate solutions specialist, has launched the Zehnder ZFP, a new generation of radiant ceiling panels to ensure businesses and other organisations can heat
and cool their buildings comfortably and efficiently, whilst achieving substantial energy savings. The panels are suitable for a widerange of environments
requiring heating and cooling solutions – from sports halls and showrooms, to logistics facilities, fulfilment centres and factories. Zehnder ZFP delivers a number of benefits and advantages including an optimum indoor climate all year round, whilst the panels can achieve a proportion of radiation of over 80%, meaning that the supplied energy can be transferred effectively. In addition, the high stability of the modules means that only a few suspension points
are required – significantly reducing the required installation time. Weighing only around 14 kg/m², the Zehnder ZFP can also be used for low roof loads. The individual elements of the Zehnder ZFP are designed as an innovative modular
system that can be combined with each other according to the project requirements to create tailored project solutions.

Potterton Commercial launches new prefabricated Sirius three WH Rig Systems
Dan Martindale, Commercial Sales
Director at Baxi Heating, commented: “Our Sirius three WH boilers have been designed to offer exceptional environmental and efficiency benefits with ultralow NOx levels from 17mg/kW, a modulation ratio of up to 9:1, advanced controls and above average season efficiencies of 97.3%. Now, with our new Sirius three WH rig systems, we can offer the same benefits in a turnkey solution that reduces installation and commissioning from weeks down to just days. “This brings enormous timesaving
benefits for contractors, enabling them to complete more projects within the same timeframe and opening up exciting opportunities for increased productivity. There are benefits for the enduser too, as opting to use a prefabricated rig dramatically reduces any system downtime.”

ESP launches free design service for CCTV and Fire systems
lready providing contractors with free security and fire
training programmes, ESP is further enhancing its commitment to helping the sector with a newly launched, dedicated design service which will allow contractors access to a free of charge design facility that will cover CCTV Systems and Fire Systems. Available to any size of business, from local electricians to national
contracting companies, the aim is to provide expertise in choosing the right products and solutions to create a scheme that meets all the requirements and objectives of the project in question, and that is compliant with all the relevant regulations and standards. From an initial enquiry to discuss the requirements, the next stage
will be one of information and measurements gathering. For larger and more complex design schemes, a visit to site will be carried out for a detailed survey. With all the relevant information gathered, including drawings and specifications, a suitable design proposal for a CCTV System or Fire System will be created and supplied to the client along with a quotation. Twoway interaction between customer and the ESP design team throughout the process will be of paramount importance to ensure the design scheme meets all the necessary requirements.

Indoor air quality developing your expertise
oin Daikin, one of the world leaders in climate control and ventilation systems, on the
23rd September for its free ‘Indoor Air Quality’ webinar. Learn how you can create better, healthy and more comfortable indoor environments and select the latest technology to help overcome the challenges. According to the World Health
Organisation (WHO), air pollution from both indoor and outdoor sources represents the single largest environmental risk to health globally. With people spending a shocking 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality is evidently a key issue to be considered in building design. However, improving a building’s
indoor air quality is about far more than ensuring a fresh supply of air. Air quality is one crucial aspect of the overall indoor environment, including lighting, dampness, cleanliness and ventilation – all of which can affect building users’ health and wellbeing.
Taking place on 23rd
September from 10:30am to midday, Daikin’s free online webinar will focus on how building service engineers can best optimise indoor air quality in commercial and public buildings. Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the impact of indoor air quality on our health and wellbeing, as well as the wider factors that can influence overall indoor environment quality. The webinar will also explore solutions from Daikin’s portfolio that can contribute to improved indoor air quality, including autocleaning indoor units, air purifiers and heat reclaim ventilation.
