I was really interested to see how the challenges were overcome with the Old War Office retrofit, an in-depth case study can be found on page 18. On page 10, Alex Hill fromWhitecode Consulting looks at new government regulation to reduce overheating. Barry Roberts fromMarshall-Tufflex highlights how correct cable management for a particular application is not always simple. According to BESA’s Graeme Fox, The European Union wants to lead the world in the transition to low global warming potential (GWP) substances, but it cannot ignore other factors – not least safety.
