Efficient ventilation for social housing The intelligent Lo-Carbon Response 7 from Vent-Axia is a new filterless unitary fan designed to meet the specific needs of social housing. Replacing Vent-Axia’s original Lo-Carbon Response, the new Lo-Carbon Response 7 fan features a series of new and improved features to meet the changing needs of the sector including: an ultra-low profile for discreet installation; increased airflow performance; a new digital control menu; as well as a 7-year guarantee. The Response 7 range boasts powerful, quiet, efficient ventilation, helping provide good indoor air quality (IAQ) and comfort for residents, while being quick and easy to install, low maintenance and reliable. With four new models: Response 7, Response 7 Pro, Response 7 SELV, Response 7 Pro SELV, the range boasts flexibility built into the digital control menu allowing it to meet the variety of needs encountered in social housing properties by offering, continuous ventilation, as well as constant volume and SELV options. Plus, the Response 7 (IPX7-rated on SELV models) is backwards compatible with previous Response installations, so it is easy to replace old units. The powerful Response 7 is ideal for properties where a longer duct run is needed since the fan speed can simply be turned up as required, providing efficient ventilation while still maintaining low noise levels. The addition of Smart Sense intelligent technology to the new Response 7 means a quick and easy install for electricians due to its simple alpha numeric LED display which is clear, easy to read and has a three-button menu for ONLINE ENQUIRY 102 commissioning and data gathering.
Advanced range of weather sensors OTT Hydromet has launched a suite of weather monitoring sensors that are suitable for the construction and building management sectors. “Our latest Lufft sensors, the WS Series, deliver professional-grade weather data with instruments that are extremely compact, rugged and reliable,” says OTT managing director Nigel Grimsley. “In the past, customers would have had to purchase multiple sensors to monitor outdoor conditions effectively, but this can now be achieved with substantially less costly devices; many of which would fit in the palm of your hand.” Weather monitors are routinely employed at construction sites to check that conditions are suitable for work such as pouring concrete or crane operation, but with facility managers looking for more sustainable solutions, Grimsley believes the big market is now building management. OTT Hydromet is a specialist manufacturer of smart weather instruments for environmental monitoring and building automation purposes. With no moving parts, OTT’s comprehensive range of compact, low-energy multi-parameter sensors offer long-term reliability for almost any weather parameter with easy integration into building control and HVAC systems. The WS range offers the ability to select from parameters including temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, ONLINE ENQUIRY 103 wind velocity / direction, and precipitation.
Pre-insulated pipe systems for community heating schemes Specialist pipe solutions provider, Flexenergy, has widened its range of energy efficient, pre-insulated flexible pipe systems to meet the requirements of higher temperature and higher pressure community heating schemes. The company, a key supplier of pre-insulated pipe technology for more than 30 years, has added PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipe to its PB (polybutylene) range to meet growing demand for non-corrosive solutions in the district heating market. Three new pipe products are available from Flexenergy: HeatFlex, FibreFlex and FibreFlex Pro, all of which have a minimum service life of 30 years. HeatFlex is suitable for most applications up to

95oC and 6 bar, while FibreFlex and FibreFlex Pro are designed for higher temperature and pressure environments. FibreFlex operates up to 95oC and 10 bar, with FibreFlex Pro designed for applications of up to 115oC and 10 bar. All are insulated using CFC free bonded polyurethane (PUR) foam, which provides outstanding thermal properties and helps optimise energy efficiency in heating and cooling networks. Flexenergy’s sales director, Sandy Fairley, commented: “The new PEX range extends our offer to the market at a time of growing interest and investment in community heating as the UK looks towards lower carbon heating solutions.”
