The company has added PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipe to its PB (polybutylene) range to meet growing demand for non- corrosive solutions in the district heating market. Three new pipe products are available: HeatFlex, FibreFlex and FibreFlex Pro, all of which have a minimum service life of 30 years. HeatFlex is suitable for most applications up to 95oC and 6 bar, while FibreFlex and FibreFlex Pro are designed for higher temperature and pressure environments. FibreFlex operates up to 95oC and 10 bar, with FibreFlex Pro designed for applications of up to 115oC and 10 bar. All are insulated using CFC-free bonded polyurethane (PUR) foam, which provides outstanding thermal properties and helps optimise energy e‹ciency in heating and cooling networks. The new FibreFlex Pro pipes from Flexenergy CIBSE ACCREDITATION FOR ENVIROVENT CPD Ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent’s CPD course, Ventilation Strategies & Best Practice Compliance, is now CIBSE accredited. The course outlines the roadmap to ventilation compliance and considers the current environmental and political drivers in ensuring good indoor air quality through e‹cient ventilation and covers the following topics: • The health impacts of poor ventilation and indoor air quality • Technical theory and specification – Approved Document Parts F and L and the ventilation strategies • The levels of competency required for installation and key compliance documents • Best Practice installation, commissioning and design of ventilation systems • Long-term aftercare and maintenance of ventilation systems EnviroVent o™ers Positive Input Ventilation (PIV), Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV) and Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) solutions. Its products are UK manufactured and can be installed by its own team of nationwide installation engineers, who also provide after-sales support. The course provides guidance to ventilation compliance
