Approval for BOSS
1
BOSS Fire has released all-new approvals for its BOSS Fire Transit Box in walls, floors and ceiling/floor systems.
Through independent testing, Streamer Technology was shown to largely eliminate pollen, mould and allergens.
“The innovative multi-service pipe and cable transit is revolutionising the passive firestopping methods used for multi-service penetrations in apartments, hotels, aged care and other commercial and industrial buildings,” says the company.
To further improve IAQ, a mould-proof operation mode activates at the end of cooling or drying operation to dry and sterilise the unit before powering off to prevent mould growth on internal components.
“The game-changer, as it’s been dubbed by many builders and contractors due to the extensive labour savings, program and compliance benefits, has an extensive range of fire tests and approvals available.”

Condair has released the DP range of swimming pool dehumidifiers, designed to offer a comprehensive choice for small to large commercial pools. All incorporate condensing technology and heat recovery systems to provide energy-efficient operation. Condair says that ceiling-mounted units can be located above a suspended ceiling system, or left exposed if floor or wall space is not available in the pool or utility area. “Floor-standing systems offer high-performance dehumidification as well as electric heating options that can replace the need for other space heating,” says Condair. “They can also introduce fresh air from outside as well as vent exhaust air. Heat recovery systems maximise energy efficiency and can recover heat from the room or the dehumidification process back to the supply air. Alternatively, it can be used to heat the pool water.”

The Asset Aviator
Retriever Communications has launched Asset Aviator, a cloud-based asset management software platform.
The “pass through” methodology enabled by the FR BrushSeal removes the need to core individual penetrations for each service, or cut foam inserts. Services do not need to be sealed and treated individually after the box is installed, either.

In addition, the built-in humidity sensor enables precise control of the unit to effectively remove moisture and dehumidify the space. Said to be “whisper quiet,” the range can be operated remotely.
