J. Rotherham: Part of the new
Contemporary Collection
The World Green Building Council (WGBC) has published a
report titled Health, Wellbeing and Productivity in Offices and
here we highlight the relevance of underfloor air conditioning
systems to a number of key findings.
The WGBC report findings clearly state that there is
overwhelming evidence that the design of an office
impacts the health, wellbeing and productivity of its
occupants Indoor air quality, thermal comfort, noise and
interior layouts are all aspects of the report evidence
which can be effected by the choice of building services,
specifically heating and ventilation design.
The British Council for Offices (BCO) has indicated that
underfloor systems offer higher standards of indoor air
quality, dramatic increase in ease of reconfiguration and
reduced operating costs. The modularity and personal
control of AET Flexible Space systems could lead to
enhanced health and productivity for workers.
J. Rotherham, one of the oldest and most respected stone
masonry companies in Britain, is pleased to introduce The
Contemporary Collection: a new set of fireplace designs
developed by J. Rotherham.
Designed to lead the way with an innovative new standard
of British fireplace design, The Contemporary Collection
by J. Rotherham offers a new level of quality, style and
value.
As well as new and exotic engineered materials, The
Contemporary Collection is designed to complement the
large range of stylish new “hole in the wall” inset fires designs on the market. Carefully selected materials and
well-defined proportions form the basis of this collection,
presenting a simplistic beauty without obvious excess.

Fife Council Invests In Energy Efficient
Ventilation Units
Under Floor Air Conditioning for Sir
William Perkins Sixth Form Centre
Fife Council in Scotland has specified EnviroVent’s heatSava Single Room Heat Recovery Units for 67 homes in
order to improve indoor air quality and enhance energy efficiency.
The Council, which has had EnviroVent’s Filterless Extract Fans installed in thousands of its properties over the
past 10 years, recognised that heatSava would help reduce
issues with condensation and mould growth in their
kitchens and bathrooms – the main problem areas.
Available in two sizes, 100mm to suit bathrooms (low
voltage version optional) and WCs and 150mm for
kitchens and utility rooms, the unit is quick and easy to
fit onto either an existing extractor fan wall sleeve or a
new wall.
The heatSava is ideal for retrofitting in social housing and
rented properties. The innovative unit recovers up to 75%
of heat that would normally be lost on extraction.

RENSON louvre panels for student
accommodations in London
A good air quality is crucial for students to keep the focus
during studying, in the end achieving better results. Therefore, all 419 student rooms of the project Paul St. East
(Shoreditch, London) of full building envelope contractor
FK Construction feature their own ventilation unit. The
duct of the system is connected to a specially developed
RENSON louvre panel solution on top of every window
in the building.
For this the project team of RENSON Fabrications Ltd.
developed a special solution, which combines a glazed-in
louvre panel t ype 414 with a 150 mm thick insulation panel
to the rear with duct plenum. For accurate connection of
the ventilation duct, the insulation panel was equipped with
a duct opening during assembly for on-site connection.
UK-based manufacturer RENSON Fabrications Ltd., with
production facility in Maidstone, develops and manufactures a wide range of products and systems, including
window ventilators, louvres and continuous louvre systems.

as the ventilation zone removing the need for most, if not all,
ceiling based ducting or pipework. Commonly found in
office environments, there has recently been an increase in
use in academic facilities, particularly University and Sixth
Form learning and study centres.
With AET Flexible Space systems, fully conditioned air is
fed into the plenum by zonal downflow units (CAM), which
is then supplied into the workspace via fan terminal units
(Fantile). The fantile units feature integrated controllers
where users can personally adjust fan speed and temperature
to suit their own comfort. Systems can be configured with
underfloor or high level return and can easily integrate with
passive or other ventilation systems.
The AET Flexible Space system was specified by consultant;
The Brinkfell Partnership, and an underfloor supply, high
level return system (CAM-V) was selected for maximum
flexibility.

The unit chosen is one of AVT’s bespoke heat recovery
units for internal installation. The STP02-HR will ensure
that the medical centre is properly and economically
ventilated, whilst ensuring that there is the minimum of
heat loss during the winter.
These units are available with either an EHB or LPHW
heater battery, and are only one of an extensive range of
ventilation products (air handling – heat recovery - energy
efficient with EC motors – cabinet and twin fans and
emergency smoke extract units). AVT can design,
manufacture (to ISO 9001) and arrange installation of a
ventilation system for either internal or external siting, and
supply a complete range of accessories including
silencers, attenuators, pressure switches, step control
panels etc.
