CIBSE is the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers and its stated role is to ‘support the Science, Art and Practice of building services engineering, by providing our members and the public with first class information and education services and promoting the spirit of fellowship which guides our work.’ CIBSE promotes the careers of building […]
Chilled beams are now widely used for cooling offices and other commercial spaces and are generally seen as consuming less energy than systems such as fan coil units. The principle of a chilled beam is that pipes carrying chilled water pass through a ‘beam’ at ceiling level. These then cool the surrounding air, which increases […]
For greater functionality and easy access to all units, they can be linked in an Airlinq BMS system. This is a proprietary form of BMS connection between our equipment. We recommend a central Airlinq Orbit control panel located in a cupboard or riser where access is only available by the building operator. All units would […]
BSRIA (Building Services Research & Information Association) is a not-for-profit test, instrumentation, research and consultancy organisation, providing specialist assistance to the construction and building services sectors. BSRIA has ongoing research programmes and produces industry-recognised best practice guidance. It also offers a wide range of services to help companies improve the design, building and operation of […]
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a rating system to evaluate the environmental impact of a building. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation. Since its introduction in 1990, the BREEAM assessment method has been applied to over 200,000 buildings throughout the UK. A BREEAM assessment […]
Boosted cold water (BCW) is required when the cold water tank is located lower than user level in a building, so that water needs to be pumped upwards for distribution. A BCW system typically comprises a cold water storage tank that supplies a number of pumps. These deliver water to a large bore riser pipe(s) for […]
The purpose of BESA testing is to enable the performance of commercially available HIUs to be evaluated under operating conditions associated with the UK. The test regime is focussed on twin-plate HIUs with heating and DHW loads typical of new flat developments and small to mid-sized houses. This is to provide comparative information to the […]
BB101 contains the guidelines issued by the Education & Skills Funding Agency, to address the Ventilation, Thermal Comfort and Indoor Air Quality in Schools. BB101 was finally re-issued in August 2018. It provides guidance on draught, carbon dioxide levels and temperature criteria based on an adaptive approach. It prescribes filtration standards and refers to BB93 […]
An ambient loop is essentially a communal low temperature heat network. It requires a centralized energy source, with heat being circulated via flow and return primary pipework at temperatures of say, 25˚ / 15˚ C. At each apartment / office, individual heat pumps are used to transfer the heat from the loop for hot water […]
Alupex flexible piping systems enable faster and more reliable installation with no requirement for elbows or bends. Connections are made with Pressfit fittings, saving even more time. Alupex is a composite of plastic (cross-linked polyethylene) and aluminium piping, that is ideal for a wide range of hot and cold water applications. SAV Alupex systems are […]
