In the Balkan cities of Zagreb and Tuzla, there is more and more focus on energy efficiency. Individual heating systems fired with brown coal are being replaced by new and modernised district heating systems, benefiting the environment as well as the inhabitants, who enjoy a stable supply of heating and hot water together with substantial reductions in their energy bills.
The installation supplied by CIAT for the Meple (IKO Group) waterproofing systems production plant provides temperatures adjustable from 18 to 28 °C. This allows the plant to reduce discards, increase its productivity and gain in production flexibility.
Unique (Flughafen Zürich AG) converted the first air conditioning unit in an office building at Zürich airport to non-ozone-depleting DuPont ISCEON® MO29 (R422D) in May 2009. The work was carried out by Walter Wettstein AG Kältetechnik, of Gümlingen, Switzerland, a contractor with previous experience of working with the R22 alternative refrigerant.
Fläkt Woods recently installed enormous air handling units, fitted with adiabatic cooling to reject the heat from the 3MW chillers at Londons most prestigious block of apartments.
How does a contractor install HVAC and plumbing equipment for a state-of-the-art, multi-use biological sciences building that contains complex challenges including confined space for utility systems and limited access to equipment, all compounded by multiple laboratory systems, poured-in-place concrete construction, and tunnel corridor requirements?
When Danfoss was asked to supply a low-energy floor heating system for an experimental energy-efficient building project, they were quick to rise to the challenge. Designed to monitor and test the latest energy-efficient technologies and systems, the project aims to make affordable and energy-efficient housing a reality.
