PRODUCTS IN ACTION HOT WATER HEATER
Quick recovery times in the gym
Big Motoring World recently installed a domestic hot water solution for its new gym at the Gillingham Head Office, selecting the WaterMaster Evo 35 from ACV UK. This system features stainless steel heat exchanger technology and was chosen for its competitive pricing and energy efficiency. The WaterMaster Evo was fitted to supply hot water to seven showers and multiple washbasins in the changing rooms, addressing the need for a reliable and continuous hot water supply. The project was overseen by FlueGas
High-end solution for car showroom VENTILATION
Grange Aston Martin Birmingham dealership has implemented a comprehensive HVAC installation by GILBERTS BLACKPOOL to support its operations. The facility features a two- storey design that showcases eight Aston Martin models and includes a seven-bay service and maintenance area. To ensure proper ventilation throughout the building, Brava Building Services installed a range of Gilberts components, including high-performance adjustable swirls, high induction linear slot diffusers, and adjustable double deflection circular ducting grilles. Additionally, Gilberts’
louvres are integrated into the façade to improve air circulation and remove fumes from the valeting bay. The entire two-storey building, including offices and storage for 40+ cars within the roof space, will maintain the appropriate ventilation to create a positive guest experience Andy Owens, MD of Brava Building
Services, says: “The design and engineering quality of Gilberts’ diffusers and grilles made them the obvious choice for such a high-end project, where the
smallest detail matters." ■

Ltd, which consulted with ACV UK’s local representative to ensure the selection of the appropriate model. The WaterMaster Evo’s innovative tank-in-tank technology provides quick re-heat times, enabling consistent hot water availability during peak usage. The compact design and corrosion-resistant materials contribute to lower maintenance requirements and enhanced durability. Following a successful installation, the
new WaterMaster Evo 35 fully condensing gas-fired hot water system provides visitors to the gym with access to a constant supply of hot water on demand. Completed in two weeks, Big Motoring World now benefits from a cost-effective,
robust, and reliable hot water system. ■

PHOTOVOLTAICS
Solar panels shine a light on heritage preservation
York Minster has recently completed the installation of 184 glass-glass photovoltaic solar panels on its South Quire roof as part of a sustainability initiative aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. Collaborating with SOLARWATT and Associated Clean Technologies (ACT), the project focuses on generating renewable energy to power the cathedral while preserving its historical integrity. The panels are expected to produce
nearly 70,000 kWh of energy annually, which will cover about one-third of the Minster’s energy needs and reduce its carbon emissions by approximately 13
28
tonnes of CO₂ each year. The solar panels were specifically
chosen for their durability and efficiency, featuring high-performance modules that meet Class A safety standards. Designed to withstand extreme weather and mechanical stress, they are encapsulated between two layers of toughened glass for added reliability. The installation was executed with careful attention to detail to ensure that the system integrates seamlessly with the cathedral’s architecture. The solar installation is part of York
Minster’s broader plan to transition to renewable energy, with additional projects in the pipeline. It marks an important step as one of the largest cathedral estates in the world demonstrating how historic sites can
lead the way in tackling climate change. ■

Decarbonising York House HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps from MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC have been specified for York House, British Land’s flagship headquarters in Marylebone, London. This installation fully replaces the building’s previous reliance on gas boilers for heating, achieving a significant step towards decarbonisation. The design of the solution was
provided by 21 Engineering, and the starting point was identifying the peak load to increase efficiency. Following the project design, two other main challenges had to be addressed: (1) limited roof space and (2) installing the new heating system in a fully operational building. A structural survey of the rooftop was carried
out, and the installer, Nationwide Air Conditioning, 3D-modelled the pipework and surrounding areas to ensure the units fit. The heat pump chillers are also helping British Land to reuse waste heat from the process to heat the building and minimise energy consumption. The four-pipe heat pumps use R513A, a refrigerant with a lower global warming potential (GWP). Using R513A has also helped British Land get the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating for the building as high as possible. The heat pumps are projected to achieve an annual reduction of over
400 kWh in energy consumption. ■
