LED panels for commercial projects

Sylvania is delighted to introduce Quadro, a range of architecturally styled LED panels with enhanced glare control and installer adjustable light output to bring a new unique dimension to office and commercial lighting projects.

The Quadro ceiling recessed luminaires feature adjustable lumen output settings from 2250-4650lm (at 4,000K colour temperature) using eight individual DIP switch settings selected on installation. Combined with glare control to deliver a lighting scheme to UGR < 16 and an efficiency of up to 150lm/w, the luminaire is suitable for lighting applications requiring comfortable light to assist with well-being and productivity such as in offices, meeting rooms, circulation areas and other commercial lighting applications.

High performance is a feature of Quadro, which delivers up to 4,650 lumen (luminaire lumen output on Multipower, 34W, 4,000K version), and up to 150lm/W (luminaire efficacy on Multipower, 15W, 4,000K). It has an energy class of A++ and a lifetime of 50,000 hours life at 70 per cent of the original output L70. As well as Multipower versions, Quadro is also available in DALI and threehour emergency versions.

Available in Warm White (3,000K) and Neutral White (4,000K), the range includes 600x600mm and 625x625mm modules and its slim design with depth of only 18mm (48mm including driver) makes it perfect for shallow ceiling voids.

For ease of installation, the loop in-loop out facility with push fit terminal block allows for quick wiring on the Multipower version. ONLINE ENQUIRY 102 Ideal Heating has launched Independent Heat, a condensing, wall-hung boiler for large domestic, light commercial and commercial installations.

Independent Heat is exclusively for independent merchants, sitting alongside Ideal’s Independent Combi and System domestic boilers. Based on the market leading Evomax 2 boiler, Independent Heat is available in outputs from 40kW to 150kW natural gas, and 40kW to 80kW LPG. Efficiencies are up to 99.7 per cent full load and up to 110 per cent part load. The units boast robust cast aluminium silicon alloy heat exchangers and are fully compatible with all Evomax 2 accessories including frame and header kits, brazed plate heat exchangers, controls and flues. In addition, the internal flue non-return valve is part of the sump assembly. Ideal says Independent Heat has been designed for easy specification, installation and servicing and is fully interchangeable with current Evomax models for easy retrofit.

Software to make any building smart

ebm-papst’s Building Connect is a complete suite of building management software and IoT devices that meter, operate and optimises operations, turning any building into a smart one.

Building Connect enables a building to be smart by using wireless controllers operating everything from lighting to ventilation, to heating and cooling, connected to hundreds of sensors that are constantly collecting information around the clock. Using artificial intelligence, the Building Connect system not only learns the most efficient way to utilise energy based on how the user interacts with the building, but automatically adjusts its performance in real time. This gives a truly connected, fully autonomous, self-managing building, that is claimed to save between 20 and 70 percent which would otherwise be wasted. With plug and play connectivity and automated configuration, Building Connect can be installed into any existing structure.

The Building Connect suite of building management software and IOT devices consist of Intelligate LINK, Intelligate HUB, BASE Operating Platform, Environmental Sensor and Current Transformers. The LINK M2M Gateway enables simple and flexible integration across various energy and automation protocols. The HUB controller is a remotely configurable automation device designed to integrate with almost any building HVAC and lighting equipment to increase their intelligence and enabling smart lighting, heating, and cooling systems without replacing infrastructure. Finally, the 3100

Easy installation for wall-hung boilerFan coil unit maximises living space

Series Split Core Current Transformer provides a lowcost method to monitoring electrical current. ONLINE ENQUIRY 101 Carrier has developed an ultra-slim fan coil unit (FCU) designed to maximise living space in high-rise residential buildings, boosting return on investment (ROI) for developers.

At 150mm high, Carrier’s new Idrofan 42EP range of ducted horizontal FCUs is the slimmest of its kind available. It can be installed in buildings with very low-height ceiling voids and under-floor applications, saving space and enabling developers to maximise property and rental values.

The unit is very quiet, with noise ratings as low as NR22, making it particularly attractive for use in residential and hotel applications. It is also ideal for use in commercial offices, where similar space constraints and expectations for high performance increasingly apply.

“The 42EP can be used to enable higher ceiling heights within a building to give a premium feel to residential apartments,” said Matthew Maleki, Carrier’s FCU product manager. “It also gives developers the opportunity to add extra floors within a given permitted building height, again significantly increasing return on investment.”

The unit requires around 30 per cent less void height for installation compared with standard units, creating significant additional useable space within a building envelope. Alternatively, space saved can be used to add additional stories within a given permitted building height.

To ensure high-quality indoor air is maintained for building occupants at all times, there is an optional CO2 sensor which links to fresh air valves. If CO2 concentrations exceed acceptable limits, fresh air is drawn into the living space to maintain air quality. ONLINE ENQUIRY 104
