Honours for HVAC individuals


I


t was so good to hear about individuals working within HVAC being recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for their service to the industry (See pg 6). This only serves as a reminder of the important role HVAC has played over the past 18 months in the war on COVID. Whether it was ensuring buildings can be made COVID-safe through ventilation systems, diversifying to ensure the NHS had all the ventilators and equipment it needed, or the individual efforts in helping struggling firms find a path to prosperity, there a countless examples of HVAC firms and individuals stepping up to the mark. Even now, there are new products, technology and systems being revealed and HVR will continue to highlight these. This month Ability Projects discusses high-grade filtration as a means of improving IAQ (pg 21) and Heraeus Noblelight (pg 25) tackles the use of UV light to create safe spaces for workers.


Congratulations to those who received honours this year. There may be some we haven’t heard about and if so, we’d love to hear from you.


This month we have features on Residential HVAC, Fan coils, Filters & air cleaning; Combined heat & power; Humidity control and our HVRd supplement.

CLOSING IN ON 30 JULY DEADLINE LAST CHANCE


TO ENTER T


he deadline of 30 July for the The HVR Awards 2021 is almost upon us, but there is still time to enter for a chance of success.


The prestigious scheme for the recognition of excellence from across the heating and ventilating sector will be held on Thursday 7 October. The event will see the induction of a new wave of winners into the prestigious ‘Hall of Flame’ at the hotly- anticipated awards ceremony, so clear your calendar. Organised by HVR publisher, Datateam Business Media, the HVR Awards has served as a platform for the best products, brands and businesses from across the sector for over a decade.


All the usual categories are available to enter including a favourite from last year, the Net Zero


Hero, as well this year’s new categories such as the COVID-19 Innovation Award. As virus control becomes critical in commercial buildings, this new category seeks entries from HVAC businesses who have taken the fight against COVID-19 to new heights through the introduction of a product, service or initiative aimed at creating safe, virus free spaces for workers, students or public servants.


The newly introduced Heat Pump Product of the Year will recognise innovation in the world of heat pumps which are set to play such a significant role in the decarbonisation drive.


The HVR Awards will also reward the most promising trainee with the Trainee of the Year Award. To enter go to www.hvrawards.com/enter


Cutting edge heat & vent T


he return of office workers presents a new challenge to businesses seeking to protect their staff and visitors from the risks posed by SARS-CoV-2, its variants, and other microbiological hazards. “It’s not as simple as turning up the ventilation, or installing new ventilation,” claims indoor air quality expert Keith Esdon. “Viruses are spread by infected, possibly asymptomatic, people, so it will be necessary to remove infectious particles from expired air when people meet, and that is why we developed Meeting-Air™, a low-cost but high-specification air filtration device that sits in the middle of a meeting room table, drawing air from meeting participants and removing potentially hazardous particles.” Meeting- Air has a 360-degree inlet at the base which draws air through 2.8m2 of medical grade (H14) pleated HEPA filter which removes all particles over 0.3µm. There are three speed settings – the two lower speeds are designed to minimise disturbance during a meeting, and a third ‘boost’ speed (up to 250m3/hour) is for removing excess aerosols before or after a meeting.
