Tackling ventilation efficiency


V


entilation heat recovery systems capture and reuse heat that would otherwise be lost resulting in


significant energy savings. These systems are growing in popularity in line with strict energy efficiency regulations. At the same time advancements in technology and cost effectiveness make the systems more accessible to homeowners and businesses. In recent years ventilation heat recovery


systems have become a popular choice on new construction and retrofit projects. Here at HVR we recognise this and made a decision to include a Ventilation & Heat Recovery Supplement which we are running this month starting on page 21. The supplement offers an overview of the most cutting edge products, solutions and services in ventilation heat recovery, as well as duct cleaning an legionella management. Featured companies include Vent-Axia, Hoval and Swiftclean. Also within the supplement Zehnder discusses overcoming indoor air pollutants, while Gilberts has sustainable ventilation strategy for data centres. Other features this month include Chimneys & Flues, Listed Buildings, Heating Systems, Chillers and Alternative Fuel Solutions.

Welcome & news


Cutting edge heat & vent M


itsubishi Electric has launched a new control platform to provide more monitoring and reporting, deliver an increased amount


of immediately accessible data, and enhance overall functionality to building operators and facilities managers. The new tool also supports the configuration, monitoring and pre-emptive maintenance of HVAC systems. MELCloud Commercial is an IoT (Internet of Things)


platform that collects data and sends signals to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and allows these systems to be operated and monitored remotely from mobile devices, anywhere in the world. The platform has been designed for commercial


installations, such as those used in offices, hospitals, shops and hotels, where cooling, heating and ventilation are all essential. “There is a big focus on decarbonising buildings,


but you can’t reduce what you don’t measure,” explains Manohar Lal, product manager for controls and innovation, “our new platform will improve and simplify building management for any organisation.”


The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)


for commercial buildings are changing and are predicted to move quickly from the current minimum EPC rating of ‘E’ to a ‘B’ rating by 2030. “Around 85% of the 1.75 million commercial buildings in the UK are currently below a ‘B’ rating so there are a lot of properties in danger of being left behind,” explains Manohar. “ Mitsubishi Electric has undergone extensive field trials of MELCloud Commercial, with corporate customers throughout Europe and the UK, to build a system that has moved it from an onsite diagnostic tool to a cloud-based ecosystem.
