MODERN BUILDING SERVICES SEPTEMBER 2021 37 WHAT’S NEW A guide to new products and services for MBS readers. MBS GEZEwinsNHS contract The five-year collaboration between NHS UK Property Services and GEZE UK is believed to be one of the largest contracts of its kind. Providing a service to more than 1,000 sites and 5,000 assets. They have recently launched a recruitment drive to provide the necessary support for a contract of this magnitude and is recruiting for Key Account Managers, Account Administrators and Service Technicians for automatic and industrial doors. The total NHS Property Services portfolio consists of more than 3,000 sites – worth over 3 billion pounds. info.uk@geze.com www.geze.co.uk AdvecoReduces theGlobal WarmingPotential of FPi Heat Pumpsby80% Commercial hot water and heating specialist Adveco, introduces the FPi32 range of monobloc air to water heat pumps designed for use with domestic hot water applications. The three models, available in 6, 9 and 12kW variants provide a low carbon source of hot water in a more compact, quieter, more efficient and easier to install unit. Requiring almost a kilo less refrigerant to operate compared to the first generation FPi units, andwith the gains fromusing R-32, the FPi32 range has just 20%of the GlobalWarming Potential (GWP) of its predecessor. With an above average coefficient of performance (COP) up to 5.23 and a high Seasonal COP of up to 4.74, FPi32 ASHPs canmake a real difference to a property’s energy consumption. Even with ambient air temperatures as low as -25°C the FPi32 can still provide hot water up to 55°C. This makes them ideal for integration into existing DHW distribution systems with higher thermal requirements. When combined with either a gas or electric water heater and controls, such as in Adveco’s packaged plant rooms, the FPi32 helps reduce emissions and increases efficiency without compromising reliability or performance. www.Adveco.co +44 (0) 1252 551540 LEDVANCE launchesnewVIVARES LightManagement System(LMS) The new future-proof IoT VIVARES offers superb simplicity with compatibility to two technologies: a wireless option via VIVARES Zigbee and a wired version using DALI-2 technology. It adapts lighting to the most diverse requirements, integrating daylight and motion sensors further increases the energy savings that can be achieved, and cloud-based monitoring ensures greater reliability and security. VIVARES is scalable with no control cables for unrestricted luminaire placement, making it particularly suited for offices, especially where rewiring and structural changes are not possible. www.ledvance.co.uk/ WaterlooStrengthenProduct OfferingwithDisplacement Waterloo have strengthened their product offering by replacing their displacement range with the full portfolio of Swegon displacement products. The new range of terminals are made to discharge air at low velocity. Rooms with high ceilings can benefit from energy savings by installing the terminals with Varizon®, as only the occupied zone needs to be cooled from the low level of displacement installation. The lower pressure drop means a selection of smaller and slower fans is possible for a reduction in fan energy. The supply air temperature is higher for displacement systems (circa 18°C) than for an overhead mixing system (circa 14°C). Working on the principles of buoyancy and stratification, air is effectively supplied at low velocity to involve minimal mixing. Subsequently, airborne pollutants lighter than air rise above the breathing zone. www.waterloo.co.uk
