Welcome
From the editor
New guide is welcome
I
was quite surprised to note that there has not been an industry go-to guide for water treatment in commercial systems. That was until the Water Treatment and Conditioning of Commercial Heating Systems Guide was launched quite recently. Boiler manufacturers and water treatment companies have partnered with the ICOM Energy Association to produce the guide, which can help to prevent a range of potentially disastrous problems for commercial systems. There are a number of notable featues about this 60-page
commercial guide, not least of which are that it comprehesively covers all areas of water treatment and is written in easy to understand language. For me, however, the most important is that boiler manufacturers and water treatment companies are all on board with it, so it’s likely to be followed by the entire industry, instilling a culture of the right water treatment from the design stage. Read all about the new guide on page 29 in our Water Treatment feature.
This issue also includes Pipes, valves & fittings, Training,
Renewables and our monthly HVR Domestic feature is back too. • Entries into the HVR Awards are currently before the judges, apart from our online vote categories which are open for nomi- nations until September 1. We would like to thank everyone who has entered so far and we hope to see you on October 26 at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel when the winners will be revealed.

LAST chance to nominate!
hilst entries are now closed for those who will face the judging panel, due to popular demand the deadline for the voted for categories at this year’s HVR Awards has been extended to Friday, 1 September 2017. The HVR Awards is set to return to London’s Chelsea Harbour Hotel on
Thursday, 26 October 2017 to recognise and reward excellence and innovation within the building services sector, and organiser Datateam Business Media has granted companies and individuals within the industry one last opportunity to put themselves in the running for a highly coveted award. The extension is applicable to the Customer Service Person, Wholesaler/ Distributor and Trainee of the Year categories, which will be decided by an industry vote. The awards are free to enter, and represent the perfect opportunity for employers to motivate and reward their workforce. HVR editor Heather Ramsden said: “With much discussion surrounding the skills gap, it is crucial that hardworking individuals within the industry are recog- nised. In particular, we need to encourage apprentices and trainees by showing them their value to the future of this sector and the vibrant nature of this industry.” Entries are now closed for the remaining categories – Commercial/Industrial
Ventilation Product, Commercial/Industrial Heating Product, Commercial/ Industrial Air Conditioning Product, Sustainable Product, Sustainable Project and Contractor of the Year – and the winners will be decided by our expert judges.
