Heating & Ventilation DEVImat warms redeveloped neo-Georgian buildings Appointed by our client to design, supply and install the underfloor heating, this project was a high- quality residential redevelopment of a neo-Georgian building located adjacent to Tobacco Dock in Wapping. With transport links to both the City and Canary Wharf the location is ideal for city workers. The existing building forms a quadrangle around a central courtyard, which has gone through a change of use from underused offices to 124 high quality apartments. Extensive refurbishment work was required as part of the change including structural alterations, floor infills and major reconfiguration of load bearing walls. Now under the brand of ‘Tobacco Dock’ the area is a sustainable, lively, mixed-use neighbourhood made up of leisure, residential, retail and commercial developments. Situated not far from the Tower of London, it’s no surprise that there is a royal them to the terrace names, King Charles, Queen Anne and Queen Victoria. www.gaia.co.uk. Create the ideal climate – all year round Humidity Solutions introduces the new HomEvap to the UK market, providing safe and precise humidity control and/or low energy cooling for residential, commercial or preservation applications. Both solutions can be combined if required, with a single controller providing the brains behind the technology. All controls and sensors are included in the package making it a plug and play solution. With four different models, the system can be applied to a range of buildings or conditions and, whilst ideally included in the initial design of a property, it can also be retro-fitted. If there is no airflow, the HomEvap Direct is the solution. This system is stand alone, using a low energy, quiet fan, and can be discreetly positioned above a ceiling or in a cupboard. Fitted to an air stream such as an HRU, the HomEvap Humidifier connects inline to provide humidity-controlled air to space. Using the adiabatic evaporative process, the water wastage is low, as is the energy usage. A built-in heater can warm the air to overcome the cooling effect if required. This innovative humidifier from HomEvap increases comfort in every living and working environment and ensures a healthy indoor climate. HomEvap evaporators were developed as energy-efficient humidifiers, coolers and combined solutions for offices, homes, hotels and public facilities. The HomEvap Cooler can be fitted to the warm air extract prior to the HRU so that in this instance the cooling effect is transferred to the incoming air without humidity, providing up to 2kw of cooling for 20w of energy.
