OSB AND STRAW HIDE CONNECTS WITH WILDLIFE
A nature hide designed and built by post graduate students from Kingston School of Art using straw bales and SterlingOSB Zero supplied by West Fraser , formerly known as Norbord , will help neighbourhood school children to connect with wildlife . The project is part of the March course run by Takeshi Hayatsu , principal of Hayatsu Architects . A mini architectural design competition sprung from a visit to the nearby Tolworth Moated Manor nature reserve . The competition was judged by local ecology action group Citizen Zoo and community action group Community Brain . The winning design was a wooden hide based on two interconnecting vertical cylinders . Takeshi was particularly pleased with the use of SterlingOSB Zero as the “ surface texture resembles the texture of the straw bales ” used in the construction .

INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Indoor air quality is of prime importance . Virus transmission occurs more readily inside than out . Inadequate ventilation and insufficient fresh air allow pathogen build up , increasing the risk of infection . Regular ventilation in enclosed areas can reduce infection by over 70 %. Vectaire products bring fresh air into the home and remove impurities . Condensation and pollution ( and pathogen ) levels can be controlled continuously , economically and at really low noise levels , whilst ensuring minimal heat loss . The Midi , Maxi and Maxi Plus MVHRs with integral acoustic attenuation do that . Installation is simple . These “ BY-AT ” models incorporate summer bypass and frost protection with a variable choice of trickle , boost and purge speeds . They are SAP PCDB listed and are the solution to better ventilation and reduced noise in residential properties .
