As part of its Agenda for Action on Sustainability, the HVCA (Heating and Ventilating Contractors' Association) has launched the first in a series of free-of-charge publications that will highlight different elements of the sustainability challenge, reports an association's press release.
 The eight-page guide – entitled Sustainability A–Z for H&V – provides definitions of terms used in connection with the heating, ventilation and air conditioning of sustainable buildings.
"A great many terms are bandied about without their users always being entirely clear on their precise meaning," commented David Frise, chairman of the HVCA Sustainability Issues Group.
"This new HVCA publication has been designed to ensure that our members – and others in the building services engineering sector – have a ready reference to those terms in most widespread use."
The Sustainability A–Z for H&V was launched at the H&V 07 and RAC 07 events, which took place at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, from Tuesday 27 to Thursday 1 March 2007.
During H&V 07, David Frise and HVCA president elect John Miller led a major debate on how contractors can take full advantage of the business opportunities offered by the rising demand for sustainable design solutions.
At RAC 07, Graeme Fox, chairman of the HVCA Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Group, took part in an in-depth discussion on the safe handling of refrigerants.
