Editors Choice Ancon were proud sponsors of the 2019 Brick Awards As a long standing sponsor of the Brick Awards, Ancon once again joined the celebrations to acknowledge excellence in the use of the UK’s favourite cladding material. We were proud to design bespoke fixing solutions for 10 of the shortlisted projects, and attending the ceremony provided the opportunity to catch up with all involved in these incredible buildings. Full bespoke Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery systems The Brick Awards, now in its 43rd year, is one of the industry’s most respected and well-attended events. To find out more about the wide range of Ancon fixing solutions used in these projects, please contact Ancon on [email protected] or www.ancon.co.uk. Working in partnership with the trusted manufacturer of renewable energy equipment Stiebel Eltron, Go Geothemal can offer full bespoke Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery systems. Full designs are done in conjunction with our partners in Germany and with a range of units available virtually all applications can be catered for. To ensure an energy efficient and hygienic minimum air change, ventilation via windows would have to occur four to six times a day for appro. 5 minutes each time. Heating would have to be turned off and windows fully open, making this virtually impossible. Mechanical ventilation systems reliably safeguard the necessary supply of fresh air, as well as energy efficient central heating and DHW. www.gogeothermal.co.uk 01388 720 228 C M Y CM MY Landmark announces partnership with AccuCities K Landmark Information has announced a partnership agreement with AccuCities, the 3D city models expert, to provide its 3D terrain and mapping models as part of a new subscription service that is an extension of Landmark’s flagship mapping and location data service, Promap. The partnership enables architects, planners and developers to access highly detailed BIM-ready three dimensional models of UK- wide locations via a new 3D subscription service. The AccuCities 3D models are available in five layers – from a base model that offers an affordable option that is accurate to 200cm in all axes. This includes the main roof shapes of buildings in addition to the localised terrain with elevation changes captured. Four further layers are available, including Level 2 (Medium), Level 3 (High), Level 4 (Facades and Textures) and Level 5 CY CMY (Interiors), providing Promap users with a great choice of modelling options to suit the needs of the project and the required level of detail. All AccuCities models can be delivered as AutoCAD solid .DWG, SketchUp .SKP and .FBX files to fit flowlines. 14 For state-of the-art presentations and simulations, the 3D Model of London can also be imported into Unreal Engine 4.
