WATERLOO
Coventry’s redeveloped Warwick Arts Centre has been fi tted with low noise level air distribution products supplied by Waterloo.
When specifying air terminal devices for performance spaces, optimum air quality is not the only consideration. For moments when the audience should be able to hear a pin drop, low noise generation is crucial. M&E services subcontractor Dodd Group, working together with consultants Hoare Lea and the Waterloo team, selected Thermally Actuated Swirl Diff users (SDACH) for the three auditoria to ensure the lowest noise levels. By using a temperature controlled actuator, this diff user achieves very good control levels in both heating and cooling. In the exhibition galleries, to ensure the regularly changing exhibits would not be disturbed by air fl ow, Waterloo’s adjustable Hi-Flo Jet Diff users (RWH) were chosen. For the building exterior Large Format Fixed Blade External Louvres (WG-EF) were selected due to their 75mm pitch which ensures low noise and pressure drop characteristics whilst protecting against water ingress.

PANASONIC
Panasonic Air-to-Water Aquarea Heat Pumps are providing energy effi cient heating and hot water to the Wicklow Hospice in Ireland.
Consultants, J V Tierney & Co and main mechanical contractors Quinn Downes created a design for a low carbon heating system to service the facilities of this new hospice. The solution, featuring a Panasonic Aquarea H Series T-Cap system, delivers low environmental impact, requires minimal maintenance, and is highly energy effi cient and yet cost-eff ective. Base Engineering specifi ed and installed six Aquarea H Series T-Cap 16kW units along with a Panasonic Cascade Controller to provide underfl oor heating to 2022m2 of fl oor space to the new building. The Panasonic heat pump system is able to use the free energy created by 24 solar panels on the roof. The underfl oor heating is made up of 13,000m of pipework, controlled by 68 thermostats. Each of the six Panasonic Aquarea heat pumps links to a 1500l buff er tank which then provides hot water to the underfl oor heating system across the entire facility.

ALTECNIC
Altecnic have offi cially launched the NEW ‘Altecnic Apartment Control Assembly’, a compact valve assembly which off ers fl exibility in confi guration, installation, and connectivity to ensure that the designed system effi ciency can be delivered in multi-occupancy water systems. The Altecnic Apartment Control Assembly is available in fi ve diff erent
confi gurations, with it being compatible with three diff erent water meter options, including MBUS. With this, there is no requirement for additional adaptors to be used with any water meter confi guration, saving time at the install, and reducing the risk of leak paths.
By combining the monitoring and controlling of water supply in one valve assembly, it is much more compact than installing individual valves and other valve assemblies on the market.
Featuring the market leading Caleffi pressure reducing valve, the Apartment Control Assembly off ers designers, contractors and installers a high-quality, reliable solution for water system design in every multi-occupancy install.

DOMUS
Domus Ventilation has launched two new CIBSE accredited CPD courses: MVHR Design & Best Practise and Pre Planning Conditions & Ventilation. MVHR Ventilation Design & Best Practice’ takes an in-depth look at how to design an MVHR system and best practice based on real world ‘dos and don’ts’ examples.
Pre Planning Conditions & Ventilation’ focusses on ventilation strategies, why they are important and how to achieve planning compliance, as well as providing the best indoor air quality for occupants.
These two new join the existing Domus Ventilation ‘Residential Ventilation Principles and Building Regulations’ course which looks at the importance of ventilation in the residential new build industry, and lays clear the considerable changes to Part F - Ventilation of the Building Regulations. Each course runs for a maximum of one hour and can be held at a customer’s premises or online via Microsoft Teams. Contact

DRAVO
A UK retail giant’s distribution centre in Milton Keynes benefi ted from an energy effi cient HVAC system from Dravo. The solution met specifi c heating requirements for the low bay area and cooling for the temperature controlled zones by supplying eight AHUs; GH indirect gas fi red appliances complete with modulating low NOx burners and a high velocity ductwork distribution system. Indirect gas-fi red units provide both fresh and warm air in the building. The units work on a patented air recirculation system which supplies the amount of fresh air required to meet the changing requirements of the building, while maintaining a constant supply of fresh air into the burner. Since fresh air is delivered faster than it can escape by natural ventilation, the units slightly pressurise the air inside the building causing the air to distribute evenly.
Once optimum conditions are reached, the system modulates the fresh air input and utilises up to 90% recirculated air for maximum economy.
