Products in Action Flagship offices benefit from controls The new Wellington Place development in Leeds is a flagship project for sustainable design both in terms of the way it was constructed and the comfort of occupants. Distech Controls has worked with local system integrator Linear Control Systems Ltd to create a sophisticated Building Energy Management System (BEMS) for two buildings at Wellington Place, that all place the comfort and wellbeing of occupants at the forefront of the design. Once the project is complete, Wellington Place will have 140,000m2 of commercial, retail, leisure and residential space. Developer MEPC says it will be one of the largest new city centre business quarters in Europe. So far, four buildings on the site have been completed and are now being managed by CBRE. Distech Controls has worked with Linear Control Systems Ltd on buildings six and seven. Each building features a four-pipe fan coil air conditioning system that is controlled by the Distech Controls ECB-PTU Series. This is a range of microprocessor-based programmable controllers designed to control powered terminal units such as fan coil units, heat pump units, and chilled beams. Each controller uses the BACnet MS/TP LAN communication protocol and is BTL-Listed as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (BASC) and WSP Certified.
Clean air at Italian football stadium Italian Serie A football club, Udinese Calcio, has installed the DEPURO PRO range of air purifiers and sanitisers by their main sponsor Vortice in its Stadio Friuli stadium in Udine, north east Italy. The air purifiers are used in the locker rooms, the entrance to the commercial area, as well as in the press room. This is part of the efforts to make playing at and visiting the club as safe and hygienic as possible. The DEPURO PRO EVO with photocatalysis module is claimed to kill up to 99.995 per cent of pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, thus ensuring people’s health and safety, constantly maintaining a good indoor air quality. Tested and certified by the University of Milan in co-operation with the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences of the Luigi Sacco hospital in Milan, the DEPURO PRO EVO is being utilised in a number of health and sports facilities, places of worship, schools and commercial buildings as the world continues to tackle COVID-19.
