BESA BOOK 2023 WELCOME

Engineering our way out of a crisis… or three Rab Fletcher, BESA President, looks back at an extraordinary year and considers how this will shape 2023.

A

year of great sadness with the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II also saw soaring inflation and the weaponising of fossil fuels

by Russia. Five years on from the Grenfell Tower tragedy, 2022 also finally witnessed the passing of the most far-reaching building safety legislation in half a century – and we had the first 40degC plus temperatures recorded in England during an unprecedented heatwave.

Just one of those things would have seized our attention in a ‘normal’ year but having them all take place in the space of a few months shortly after the country had battled through a pandemic and our exit from the European Union left us all feeling a bit battered and bruised.

So, how will 2023 pan out?

The economy was facing growing turmoil and the cost-of-living crisis causing serious hardship as this edition of the BESA Book was being finalised.

The impact on businesses – particularly SMEs – is extremely serious and for contractors on already tight margins, this year promises to be hard going.

However, I do believe we have genuine grounds for optimism and this edition of the BESA Book provides plenty of evidence of the engineering expertise and innovation that will put our sector at the heart of the economic recovery and the engineering solutions needed to tackle many of the biggest challenges confronting our society.

BESA members have always risen to challenges throughout the Association’s 118-year history and I think this year will be no different.

Shared knowledge, support for each other, collaboration and team spirit epitomise what BESA membership stands for and we have never been more grateful for being part of this community of like-minded companies and individuals able to address our problems together. n

Energy saving and net zero The government’s hugely expensive intervention in the energy markets to avert a consumer and business cost of living catastrophe has bought us precious time, but we must not waste it.

W

e should immediately set about ensuring we become far more resilient to future price shocks – or this will be a very expensive missed opportunity. BESA hopes to see real progress on policy support for building efficiency upgrades, low-carbon heating, and renewable power in 2023.

These will help to reduce our dependence on imported energy and go some way towards reducing the eventual bill that taxpayers will have to pay for the price cap.

The building services industry will have a major role to play in the now urgently needed national programme of building retrofits to improve energy efficiency and integrate low carbon systems. As the Prime Minister Liz Truss said, it is vital that we tackle “the root causes of high prices so we are never in the same position again”.

One quick and easy step would be to adjust the energy levy system. Currently, the levy on electricity bills is 20% higher than on gas, which means renewable energy is, perversely, more heavily taxed. Rebalancing the levy would make it fairer and drive down the cost of electricity to the end user while incentivising the transition to an all-electric system powered by renewables, which is now the cheapest form of electricity generation.

14

| The BESA Book 2023

Record high energy prices create an opportunity to drive built environment investment in a way that also meets the Prime Minister’s desire to be “pro-business and pro-growth”. It is now more financially attractive than ever to install energy saving measures and make your buildings more efficient to run because the return on investment will be that much quicker for as long as wholesale oil and gas prices stay high.

German lessons

We could look to Germany for inspiration. It intends to spend €56bn on a huge programme of building renovations and aims to reduce the 30% of the country’s total energy consumption that is used to generate space and water heating. It is particularly focused on improving buildings in the bottom 25% of energy performance.

This also represents a dramatic shift in government priorities from supporting the construction of new homes to renovating more existing ones with one government official saying: “One euro spent on renovation is ten times more efficient than if it was spent on a new home.”

Other European countries are expected to announce similar plans this year with the EU intensifying the focus on retrofit in its planned revisions to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

BESA BOOK 2023 INTRODUCTION

The need to retrofit and re-purpose UK buildings was also highlighted by last summer’s heatwave. Retrofitting buildings to make them more resilient to climate change and more energy efficient can be done relatively cheaply and quickly, but it would be even cheaper and quicker to re-purpose some of our buildings.

For example, the pandemic has had a huge impact on occupancy levels in commercial buildings. Research from the property industry showed that two thirds of desks in UK offices were regularly unused and even on the busiest days offices remained more than half empty more than a year after the last lockdown.

We need to seize this opportunity to take a more flexible approach that makes better use of the space we already have in a way that will deliver financial savings and reduce energy use and carbon emissions – not least whole life and embodied carbon.

Embodied carbon

Two thirds of the whole life carbon of a building is embodied.

The first third is in the creation of the building and the second in the replacement of plant, facades etc. during its life cycle. The superstructure is responsible for about 40% and maintenance and refurbishment accounts for 32% of lifetime carbon.

The UK built environment is responsible for almost 166 megatonnes (Mt) of CO2 equivalent (the UK total is 414 mt) per annum – and the construction of a typical 6,000 sq m office emits approximately 4,000 tonnes of CO2e.

Without more effort and innovation focused on embodied carbon and lifecycle building performance, we will have little chance of meeting our net zero built environment.

Happily, there was significant progress in this area last year including an increase in the number of digital tools that can help engineers calculate embodied carbon more accurately. The availability of more complete data and better design methods also means designers can provide more compelling arguments to convince clients of the need for greater investment at the front end of projects to significantly reduce lifetime carbon impact.

CIBSE produced the first comprehensive guidance for calculating the embodied carbon of building services (TM65) and this has breathed vital new life into the complex process of gathering relevant information from all parts of the supply chain.

Reuse is better than rebuild

More manufacturers now provide embodied carbon data, which makes it easier to calculate the impact of their products from manufacture up to installation. They are using Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) or TM65 to provide the data. The RICS Built Environment Carbon Database can be used to calculate the embodied carbon of complete projects.

The world’s first universal cost standard for reporting embodied and operational carbon in the construction and lifecycle of buildings was also launched in 2022 with the backing of 49 professional bodies. The International Cost Management Standard (ICMS3), which is designed to help developers make more informed choices about materials and construction practices, can also ensure better informed decisions about whether a building should be retrofitted or demolished and rebuilt.

And ultimately, the most carbon friendly approach is not to build at all, according to experts like Dr Natasha Watson, senior structural engineer at the consultancy Buro Happold.

“Reuse is better than rebuild. We have more than 600,000 empty buildings – 445,000 of which are residential,” she told a BESA webinar. “Covid-19 has changed how we interact with buildings so we should re-assess how we service them and how we make better use of what is already there. We can repurpose far more.” >>

BESA BOOK 2023 INTRODUCTION

She also urged engineers to challenge the project briefs they receive more aggressively – and insist on a ‘design optimisation stage’.

“The earlier you tackle this issue, the bigger the potential savings,” said Dr Watson. “People are under increasing pressure to deliver projects more quickly and cheaply, but we cannot fully address embodied carbon without proper planning.”

Re-purposing an existing building is the Holy Grail of embodied carbon. It is never possible to reuse everything but we should certainly try to reuse as much as possible from the foundations up including the superstructure where so much carbon has already been expended.

Building services engineers, like everyone else in the supply chain, will also need to design with deconstruction in mind so materials and system components can be recycled, reused, and more easily replaced as part of refurbishment and repair planning.

We also need to do sensible things like use simple, reversible connections wherever possible, so it is easier to bolt in new components without having to remodel and disrupt the whole system.

The building engineering sector deserves congratulations for taking major strides with product efficiencies and control strategies that reduce carbon in use, but if we are to make progress towards our bigger global environmental goals then embodied carbon will have to be tackled much more vigorously.

The Green Building Council calculates that around 70% of UK non-residential buildings were built before 2000 and says most will need to be substantially retrofitted to improve energy efficiency and reduce embodied carbon before 2050.

Building a safer world

The Building Safety Act, which came into force in April 2022, heralds the biggest change to building safety culture in more than a generation.

This legislation is extremely far-reaching. Many in the industry still do not fully appreciate how significant this will be. Many think it is just about high-rise, high-risk buildings (HRBs), but it is, in fact, about any work we do that requires a building safety notice.

It has specific requirements for HRBs through the implementation of the Gateway System that puts checks and balances in place at different stages of construction – but the focus on competence for all aspects of building services work covers ALL buildings.

The Act came into force five years after the Grenfell Tower tragedy and enshrined all the recommendations of the Hackitt Review which looked in depth at the causes of the fire that claimed 72 lives. It revealed that, while there were regulations in place that should have made the building safe, they were not properly respected and enforced.

www.theBESA.com

@BESAGroup

BESA Group

It betrayed the fact that the industry had not been working properly to Part B of the regulations. The current energy ‘Performance Gap’ in buildings shows we are so also not applying Part L very well and the Covid-19 pandemic showed we are not using Part F properly to deliver good ventilation standards in buildings.

The Act seeks to tighten up exchange of information and allow for proper handover to address failings in all these areas, including improving ventilation of buildings to address indoor air quality and overheating – the latter being addressed in the new Part O. The new Building Safety Regulator, supported by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), will be carrying out in-depth reviews of 12,500 ‘high risk’ buildings over the next five years to look for safety breaches. He has the power to retrospectively punish past poor quality work making it important for those responsible to have clear records of all work already complete or currently underway – not just future projects.

Each building will have to produce a ‘safety case’ supported by comprehensive digital information about all the systems in use.

There are very stringent new rules in place to cover any changes made to a design during a project in an attempt to reduce the amount of alterations that could be made simply to cut costs – and a new regime for product safety will soon be in place.

This prompted BESA to prepare a simple five-point checklist that addresses the key responsibilities of those likely to be affected by the legislation.

The Act requires a named individual for each in scope building who can be held legally accountable for actions and omissions in planning, procurement, and operation.

The ‘duty holder’ must be competent to “plan, monitor and manage” work, according to the legislation.

The new legislation also, for the first time, puts in place requirements for the safety of a building ‘in operation’ which creates specific duties for those who maintain building services and when changes are made to the building during its lifetime.

SFG20, part of the BESA group, produces the industry’s standard for planned service and maintenance work, and examined the detail of the legislation. Its checklist will help building operators prepare for the digital ‘golden thread’ of information needed to satisfy their new legal obligations.

Golden Thread

The golden thread of information must be available in a digital format for all HRBs – and the information needs to be accurate, up to date, easily understandable and accessible by those who need it. The SFG20 checklist also makes the link between installed systems and the need for planned maintenance that keeps them operating safely and efficiently. >>

BESA BOOK 2023 INTRODUCTION

…and what of Building Regulations?

Changes to the Building Regulations that came into force last June can help the industry make buildings healthier and more comfortable while also reducing their carbon footprint.

The Building Regulations have never been perfect – far from it. Revisions are usually the result of several compromises and there is often too much wriggle room to properly establish the higher design and operational standards we would really like to see.

However, the government deserves credit for performing something of a juggling act with the latest changes to try and balance energy/carbon reduction with improving the indoor environment to protect health, well-being, and productivity.

It has also tried to raise the bar, and in the current climate, we should hope that these revisions will encourage a spirit of aiming higher than just what you can get away with to be compliant.

BESA was able to interrogate key officials at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) when the changes were first announced, and it was clear that the pandemic had changed the focus on buildings.

Specific safety issues such as appropriate refrigerant use and the condition of pressure vessels are included in the checklist, which guides facilities managers in how to create comprehensive records and fill in any risk gaps.

There is also a duty of care on all equipment installers to provide good quality, accurate information. It is important that they can provide evidence that they installed an asset to the correct specification as they can also face retrospective action under the new laws.

This will also lead to greater pressure on contractors to keep their competence and compliance training and verification up to date, which will continue to be a key focus for BESA this year through its modernised Competence Assessment Standard – a compulsory element of membership.

The Act will also put greater focus on the compliance of any planned new build or major refurbishment work and SFG20 emphasised the importance of considering the maintenance of new building assets early in the process.

This is not just about ensuring safety and staying legal – it is about long-term value for money as around 80% of a building’s cost throughout its lifetime comes from maintenance, whereas the initial construction costs are just 20%.

By assessing the likely cost of maintaining a building before finalising the designs, you will be able to remain compliant and save money.

For example, they said that new ventilation requirements were deliberately prescriptive to prepare the country for future pandemics – and they would not compromise in that area in the search for greater energy efficiency. They said the overall strategy was for tighter fabric standards and air tightness, but with additional focus on systems that bring outside air into buildings.

Tricky balance

Revisions to Parts F and L of the Regulations were worked on in parallel to improve ventilation and tackle overheating while still cutting carbon emissions by 30% in new homes and by 27% in non-domestic buildings. A tricky balance has been struck.

All new residential buildings, including care and children’s homes, and student accommodation, must also be designed to reduce overheating, thanks to the introduction of the new Part O. Changes to ventilation include making CO2 monitors compulsory and adding new standards for recirculating ventilation systems in offices.

The government brought in three performance metrics against which new non-domestic buildings will be measured: primary energy, a CO2 emissions target, and minimum standards for fabric and fixed building services.

The introduction of a primary energy metric is designed to make the energy efficiency of each building a priority, regardless of the heat source.

Heat emitters must also be designed to work with low temperature sources like heat pumps to make all buildings ‘zero carbon ready’ in preparation for the 2025 Future Homes Standard. >>

BESA BOOK 2023 INTRODUCTION

Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring is now mandatory in offices and all recirculating ventilation systems must be capable of switching to ‘full fresh air’ mode when necessary to reduce the risk of disease transmission. Bathroom extract systems must have an ‘always on’ feature and trickle ventilators are also recommended in non-domestic buildings. The new guidance stipulates a recommended minimum air supply rate of 0.5 l/s.m².

Improved filtration is also a feature of the changes to Part F with a more frequent requirement for HEPA filters in systems that provide outside air. Officials told us this was designed to ensure air conditioning would still be widely specified for comfort reasons, but that there would now be greater focus on filtering the outside air supply to ensure we are better prepared for any future health emergencies.

This reinforces the need for controlled airflows that reach every part of the occupied space to disperse the droplets as quickly as possible, which is very hard to achieve with natural ventilation alone. Mechanical ventilation is also the most effective way of keeping relative humidity within the ‘sweet spot’ of between 40% and 60%, which is considered ideal for a range of health reasons.

In short, the updates to the Building Regulations reflect many of the lessons we learned about the importance of building ventilation during the pandemic and can also help take us several steps further down the road towards net zero.

Real progress will, of course, depend on the industry’s determination to use only competent people capable of turning good intentions into successful, practical solutions.

This is something that remains a key focus for everyone here at BESA, which is why we continue to press the importance of using Competent Person Schemes as a vehicle for companies to be able to demonstrate competence and compliance whilst also avoiding costly and time-consuming building control visits.

We must tackle overheating and improve ventilation

The UK’s record-breaking heatwave last July has intensified the focus on how temperature, humidity, and air quality is controlled in buildings.

Health experts have also identified the crucial role played by building ventilation in maintaining health and comfort through temperature and humidity control and have recognised the importance of reducing moisture, odours, and gases.

The UK has no legal limit on extreme temperatures at which workers can refuse to work, but the increasing frequency of heatwaves has prompted trade unions to call for a 27degC limit on outside working and 30degC inside.

They have also been pushing for a greater commitment from employers to make workplaces safer and healthier as part of the Government’s ‘Living with Covid’ strategy.

Several unions formed a coalition with scientists and groups representing Covid sufferers and bereaved families to launch a ‘Covid-19 Safety Pledge’ with the support of the Cabinet Office.

The Pledge is designed to ensure that workplaces – including those that are also public spaces such as schools and hospitality venues – adopt measures designed to minimize the spread of Covid infections and make public what they have done to safeguard health and well-being.

A key element is the measuring, monitoring, and mitigation of indoor air quality (IAQ) and draws on guidance produced and provided for free by BESA. This follows a presentation by the Association’s head of technical Graeme Fox to the Trade Union Congress (TUC) explaining the three pieces of guidance* produced by the Association since the start of the pandemic.

He also pointed out that numerous studies have shown how elevated temperatures – well below what the UK experienced in July – negatively affect the human body. For example, research by the US space agency NASA shows that productivity falls by 3.6% for every 1degC the indoor temperature rises above 22degC. The British Council for Offices (BCO) says temperatures in commercial buildings should be maintained at between 20 and 24degC. It also recommends ventilation rates of 12 litres per second per person (l/s pp) of filtered air with an additional 10% in high density occupied spaces to protect the health and well-being of occupants. >>

BESA BOOK 2023 INTRODUCTION

The involvement of trade unions and scientists at the highest level of government brings the prospect of ‘safe havens’ that protect people from poor air quality much closer.

There is now wide recognition that improving building ventilation can play a huge part in helping the country recover from the pandemic and make buildings more infection resilient in preparation for future health emergencies, but ultimately it all depends on having a well-trained, competent workforce.

With that in mind, the online BESA Academy (www.thebesa.com/academy) has been pushing ahead with a wide range of targeted training courses delivered through a blended model of online and in person teaching. This is proving to be a hugely popular way of giving more people access to the latest knowledge so they can develop up-to-date skills.

The BCO also says that controlling humidity is crucial, but its most recent studies showed the average relative humidity (RH) in offices was 38% whereas for good health it should be between 40 and 60%. At 35% people will experience eye irritation, nasal dryness, and sore throats.

This has important implications for making our buildings more infection resilient in preparation for the next pandemic or just to deal with our annual flu and cold outbreaks – a particular issue for schools where infections move quickly around tightly packed classrooms.

There is a lot going on with our climate and plenty of theories flying around about the likely impact on health, well-being, and productivity, but one thing we can all be sure of is that higher summer temperatures are here to stay. This has important implications for the building engineering sector and means our efforts to adapt existing buildings to the effects of climate change are increasingly important.

This is not an attempt to promote air conditioning; rather we need to encourage a more nuanced approach to indoor climate control including wider adoption of some of the other tools we have at our disposal such as mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), air filtration, and humidity control. We also need to improve our approach to the fabric of buildings so we can build in more passive mitigation measures – and planned maintenance will be key to ensuring equipment can continue to function properly whatever the weather conditions.

Pay back

All of these require some level of financial investment, but not all are expensive – and with the barrage of different factors now facing our building stock, any investment in building performance is guaranteed to pay back handsomely.

The Association will be redoubling its efforts throughout 2023 to help our industry plug its skills gaps and supporting the innovations you can read about in the pages of this year’s BESA Book.

There are wonderful careers to be had in our sector and this year’s BESA Book provides ample evidence that the great ‘can do’ spirit of UK engineering is alive and well. We are pleased to celebrate that and will be working hard to harness it to a well-trained and motivated workforce that can turn our best ideas into practical solutions for the benefit of all – addressing some of the biggest health, safety and well-being challenges facing our society. n

*Three free guides BESA’s Beginner’s Guide to IAQ provided an overview of the problem and its Guide to Good Practice for IAQ focused on the importance of measuring and monitoring air quality to deliver better health and well-being outcomes.

Last year we also launched Buildings as Safe Havens – a practical guide, in partnership with Mitsubishi Electric in April. This provides a step-by-step approach to getting the most from working with IAQ specialists, so facilities managers and end users can achieve the best results for their buildings.

A safer industry is a better industry Tina Poole, Compliance Manager for Linaker, explains how skills, qualifications and accreditation are all gaining importance in our post-Grenfell industry.

F

ollowing the Grenfell Tower fire, the Government announced an Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety led

by Dame Judith Hackitt. The final report of that independent review entitled “Building a Safer Future” was published on 17 May 2018 and identified four main issues: 1.

2.

3.

4.

Ignorance Indifference Lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities Inadequate regulatory oversight and enforcement tools

The Building Safety Act 2022, brought into force on 28 April 2022, applies to higher-risk buildings which are defined as buildings in England that are: • At least 18m in height or have at least seven storeys, and • Of a description specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State Regulation 2 of the draft regulations 1 states that for the purposes of section 120D(2)(b) of the 1984 Act, the following descriptions of buildings are classed as higher-risk buildings: • A building which contains at least two residential units • A care home • A hospital

24

| The BESA Book 2023

The Building Safety Act brings with it an increased regulation of professional competence. It includes a duty to improve the competence of persons in the built environment industry or members of that profession. The Act also states that a Building Safety Regulator will be established in the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to provide oversight of the new system and with powers of enforcement and sanctions.

The Act also gives the Building Safety Regulator a duty to establish and maintain three committees: 1. Residents’ Panel to ensure that residents have a voice and are consulted on resident engagement, how residents escalate safety concerns to the regulator, the regulator’s strategic plan, and other matters that impact them.

2. Industry Competence Committee to monitor industry competence and facilitate its improvement, publish guidance on industry competence, and advise the Building Safety Regulator and industry on competence.

3. Building Advisory Committee to help the Building Safety Regulator meet its duty to keep the safety and standard of all buildings under review by providing advice and expertise and assisting in developing future building regulations.

COMPETENCE COMPLIANCE

The Regulator will have powers to prosecute all offences in the Act and the Building Act 1984 and to issue compliance notices and stop notices in design and construction. Failure to comply with notices will be a criminal offence with a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison and/or a fine.

The Act details the competence requirements of the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor but also imposes duties on the persons appointing them to ensure they meet competence requirements.

The importance of ensuring and improving professional standards is to put into practice what we have learned from the past. We can do that by proving we have looked at the right skills and qualifications and seeking accreditation, allowing an independent party to verify these processes.

This, in turn, provides assurances to an employer, an accountable person, responsible person, or duty holder that they are employing the right people and company to ensure the wellbeing and safety of their clients and visitors as well as complying with legislation.

Property managers and consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of the quality and standard of work in their properties. Accreditation also helps the public better appreciate the role that qualified, assessed, competent persons, have in securing the safety of homes, workplaces and places we visit.

It is also clear that accreditation contributes directly to the economy and the environment. UKAS states that seeking and maintaining accreditation is often invaluable in identifying improvements and efficiencies in policies and processes, which can ultimately result in reduced overheads and running costs. A 2013 University of Birkbeck study 2013 concluded that accreditation contributed around £1bn to the UK economy each year.

Part of my role as Compliance Manager at Linaker Limited is checking that the people we employ, not just employees but partnering agents such as sub-contractors, are ‘competent’.

This means that they have the right skills, qualifications, and accreditations. Our clients can trust above all else that they have the right people to partner with them to ensure statutory and regulatory compliance at the properties they are accountable for.

Linaker is committed to engineer and contractor accreditation; this is a crucial aspect of developing and maintaining our professional recognition, high-quality service and standards, and providing our clients with the assurance that we take health and safety seriously.

For our partners and sub-contractors, we do this by having a robust pre-qualification stage where questions relating specifically to qualifications, accreditations, training matrices

and policies are noted, and proof is required before we consider approving a company as part of our supply chain.

We take this further and request in line with our expectations that our supply chain commits to Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) standards, which is also demonstrated through our PQQ stage. Linaker is committed to ISO 9001, 14001 as well as 27001 and 45001, amongst other accreditations such as SafeContractor.

But what does the term ‘competent’ mean? The HSE define a competent person as: “Someone who has sufficient training and experience or knowledge and other qualities that allow them to assist you properly”.

The level of competence required will depend on the complexity of the situation and the help needed, i.e., having the necessary ability or skills, able to do something well or well enough to meet a standard.

Most legislation will, in some part, refer to competence. We take these definitions further at Linaker, whether we are working in a housing, retail, education, commercial or office setting where risks can be from low to extremely high, such as high-risk buildings.

We define competence as ensuring that we are enabling people to have the right tools, skills, experience, qualifications, knowledge, culture, behaviour and attitude to ensure they can look after themselves and others and that every task is done with consideration and care by the right person for that task.

As Linaker covers a wide range of skill sets in-house and sub-contracted, it’s essential that we clearly define roles and responsibilities and what we consider a competent person to be. Therefore we look at every individual from recruitment, and more importantly, throughout their employment, to ensure they continue to be considered competent.

We also look at upskilling within our teams as we maintain a diverse portfolio. We don’t just look at this within our in-house team but also those within our supply chain teams through regular reviews and discussions, especially where there may be a change in legislation or simply best practices.

For each role, we have clearly-defined pathways that take into consideration all the above to provide a competent, professional person, with processes audited internally as well as externally, and most importantly accredited to demonstrate our commitment to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all, and to provide our clients with assurances of our competence, as well as demonstrating we are continually working to best practices now and in the future. n

The four pillars of competence and compliance Martin Whiteley, Managing Director of Roperhurst, discusses the importance of skills, qualifications and accreditation in light of the Hackitt reforms.

F

ive years on from the Grenfell Tower disaster, the Building Safety Act 2022 became law in April, bringing a slew of reforms to the way residential buildings are built and maintained, and new protections for leaseholders.

These support delivery of a quality, compliant, on-time, and best-value project. We recognise that weakness in one or more pillars will cause problems, some of which may be fatal either to the project, those working on it or the end user.

A principal to build safely, whether for residential or commercial projects, seems like a no-brainer. However in a competitive marketplace where margins can be thin, it won’t surprise anyone to hear that sometimes the wrong sub-contractors have put themselves forward as experts in areas where they have little or no experience, skills or competence generally.

Specialism

Against this backdrop of controlling spiralling costs, what are the steps required to deliver assurance, essentially to get the right specialists doing the right job at the right time?

The onus is on specifiers, consultants and the supply chain as a whole to ensure that, if you’re tendering for a specialist task, tenderers are appropriately specialist. It is often not be enough to specify that something should follow a standard.

In my organisation we deliver customer assurance through four pillars, which we call “4SsuranceTM”. The four pillars are: • • • •

26

Specialism Standards Stability Safety

| The BESA Book 2023

We all know that a domestic gas installer must be GAS safe registered, and we wouldn’t dream of using an unqualified generalist to replace the boiler in our homes.

And the industry accepts sub-contractors tendering for and winning specialist construction work without any real understanding of what’s required.

If your sub-contractor is manufacturing or installing something that must follow a BESA standard (which in our case is plastic fume extract ductwork to DW154), the only guarantee that they will comply with the standard

COMPETENCE PRINCIPLES

Standards

Quality companies invest in developing and working to standards.

While I can’t tell you that this must be the case for every contract, ISO9001 certification is an internationally-recognised standard for quality systems, and holders are regularly independently audited. Not everyone has it. Time, effort and money are required to keep it, but clients have the assurance that what’s delivered to your site is exactly as it should be. is if they have been independently audited against it. Work to a BESA standard offered up by a non-BESA member – the cautious buyer should ask themselves “Why aren’t they members of the Association?”

Every specialist will point to the great jobs they’ve done – I know we do. But dirty linen is washed in private, so it’s vital to also ask around your industry contacts. The industry knows who does a good job, and who doesn’t, and whilst poor jobs are not splashed over the internet, a conversation with the right person can be very revealing.

Similarly, I have always been a fan of looking for active participation in the development of industry standards.

There are carrot and stick benefits. Companies which put time and effort into the development of standards demonstrate a commitment to technical competence; and companies associated with the development of standards are far less likely to cut corners.

Stability

Stability is all about assets, and falls into four sub-categories: People, infrastructure, finance and history.

The first category concerns the ability to bring the right number of people with the right skills to bear at the right time to deliver a project, whether that’s project managers, fabricators or installers. Don’t forget that even the biggest companies have customers other than you, so the question is not, “Are you big enough to do the work?” but “Are you big enough to do the work given your existing and forecast commitments?”

When it comes to infrastructure, it doesn’t matter how you dress it up, size matters. If you give a massive job to a tiny business operating out of the principal’s spare bedroom, whose fault is it when the delays start? You need to know if your sub-contractors have the scale to do the job: • Is there the base square footage to fabricate what you need?

• Do they have the equipment necessary to do the job? >>

The competence and compliance challenge means adopting the four pillars which support quality delivery.

COMPETENCE PRINCIPLES

The challenge

Industry bodies like BESA, CIBSE and others have important roles to play in the education of the sector. The obligation on the supply chain is to know what is required, and to source the right specialists to deliver it.

There is similarly an obligation on sub-contractors to be honest about what they don’t know, so that informed supplier selection can take place.

The Competence and Compliance Challenge means adopting the four pillars which support quality delivery. Every project is different, and what makes a strong pillar may vary accordingly, but omissions in one or more of these pillars has the potential to destabilise your project.

Frankly, if this is a safety-critical element of the project and you don’t visit your sub-contractor to see for yourself, more fool you.

Finance often presents as something of a dilemma. In theory a sub-contractor should have the financial wherewithal to get the job done, however I’m only too well aware that there can be a tendency within contracting to choose the subbie who is financially weak, who can be bullied, who may not be able to fight over several years to get 100% of the contract value.

All I can say here is that if this is the thought process you adopt, you shouldn’t be surprised if you get exactly what you deserve. Stop and think for a second – how good can the alleged specialist be if they haven’t got two pennies to rub together? How would you defend your decision in Court?

The history of a contractor also matters. How long has the contractor been doing what they do? This means actively trading, not simply length of time since incorporation, as we know some in the market keep companies registered ready for when the next insolvency comes.

Safety

If your sub-contractor is going to work on site than corporate SSiP certification is a must, as well as individual site and job-specific qualifications. Public liability, employer’s liability and contractor’s - all risks insurances must be confirmed, and where design and fabrication responsibility also falls to the sub-contractor, then PI and Product Liability insurances are also necessary.

However whilst there will unfortunately be occasions where insurance cover will be called upon, it goes without saying that this is never an excuse for employing the wrong sub-contractor in the first place.

www.theBESA.com

@BESAGroup

BESA Group

A BESA specialist established for 30 years with factory capacity, an excellent reputation and a strong balance sheet – perhaps the lack of ISO9001 doesn’t make the pillar too weak; but a non-BESA specialist established for a few years with little in the way of external certification and a weak balance sheet – then the pillars are very flimsy.

No surprise if the job is offered cheaper, but at greatly increased risks.

I urge industry to remember that cost and value are not the same things. A job done cheaply almost always means a job completed late, not finished or delivering poor quality.

Late might mean additional costs, which may or may not exceed the original savings made.

Remember that new legislation requires the project to be stable long after you’ve completed, been paid and moved on to the next one. Stable pillars, stable project.

In the past some contractors have turned a blind eye to the principles outlined here, in the hope that the product or the installation won’t be so bad that anyone will notice. What the fallout from Grenfell has told us is that the liability for a bad installation can be tracked down and applied years later, and ignorance will not be an excuse for sub-standard contracting. Ignore the risks at your peril. n

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT MONITORING

How IoT remote monitoring is disrupting the UK facilities management market Craig Chantler, global head of IoT sales for simPRO Software Limited, highlights the growing importance of IoT and remote technology for today’s facilities management teams.

T

he role of facilities management (FM) is changing and with those changes come new opportunities for FM providers.

The Covid-19 pandemic has the industry rethinking workplace utilisation. At the same time, Brexit has made it difficult for FM providers to cope with staff shortages.

During these unstable times, FM providers must adapt their services to support customers and keep business thriving.

Automation technology helps FM businesses solve these modern day challenges.

As Martin Pickard, International Facility Management Association (IFMA) UK chapter president stated: “A successful FM business has to integrate other disciplines, adopt new technology and applied strategy to support the organisation.”

Brexit and Covid-19 consequences for FM

Facilities management services such as cleaning, security and catering are primarily dependent on migrant labour from the European Union, so restricted access post-Brexit is having a significant impact on filling job roles.

Additionally, the Covid-19 outbreak forced mass closure of buildings and workplaces, resulting in less activity across customer sites. Together, Brexit and Covid-19 have had a significant impact on the industry. Although the restriction was lifted in September 2021, according to a recent RICS UK Facilities Management Market Survey, 59% of facilities managers still report difficulties sourcing workers in building operation and maintenance.

The scarcity of FM workers and change in service demands means that innovative FM providers are looking to technology to bridge the resource gap and create operational efficiencies.

How automation and IoT makes FM more competitive in today’s changing world

Today, 76% of UK FM businesses are increasing their investment in IoT (internet of things) and other technology to get the edge on their competitors.

IoT remotely monitors assets and environments via small sensors which transmit information for real time remote management.

There is a vast array of examples of how IoT is being applied in buildings. Of particular interest is air quality monitoring which is an area of increasing concern among building owners and occupants.

According to Siemens, keeping humidity between 40% to 60% can reduce the transmission of cold and flu viruses by up to 70%. Therefore, making use of IoT sensors to monitor air quality and humidity can help facilities management professionals, and their customers, maintain healthier buildings and prevent the spread of Covid-19 among classrooms, hospitals and aged care facilities. >>

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT MONITORING

Remotely manage assets for smarter scheduling and few onsite visits

By moving to a proactive and condition-based maintenance model by harnessing IoT technology, FM providers can remotely manage customers’ workplaces with reduced on-site maintenance visits.

IoT sensors can send real-time notification of alarms and faults, limiting the time your field service staff spend on-site conducting routine maintenance checks. In turn, your business becomes more operationally efficient, and staff can be reallocated to more urgent customer requests, or even manage a larger portfolio of customers.

Other examples of IoT in-use include water metering to ensure accurate billing for multi-tenant buildings, electricity efficiency and meeting room usage for corporate offices.

Room temperature can also be monitored in server rooms and even fridges in retail outlets can be monitored to ensure produce is kept cold.

IoT technology provides facility managers with transparent data so they can gain a more comprehensive understanding of their managed assets. They can study data trends, optimise the building environment, save money through less energy waste and increase operational efficiency through condition-based maintenance. These changes in service offering could contribute greatly to FM providers and their customers.

Small technology investments can help to grow your business

A common misconception is that introducing new technology and innovation is that it is expensive, or that it is only for new building environments. But this need not be the case.

For example, simPRO allows customers to retrofit their existing equipment, assets, or even existing sensors to maximise return on investment (ROI). Envirologik helped one of its customers install a simPRO IoT-enabled refrigerant pressure monitoring system instead of a refrigerant leak detection system. Shortly after the installation, the sensors alerted Envirologik that the chillers were running 24/7 due to an error. By fixing the problem early, Envirologik helped its customer save £5,000 in monthly energy costs.

Another business that utilised simPRO IoT is Polytek. The London Royal Exchange engaged field staff from Polytek to monitor plant rooms, water tank temperatures, chiller energy consumption and refrigerant pressures for signs of deterioration. Previously, these assets were monitored through reactive maintenance and via a building management system, (BMS). This made it time consuming and difficult to pinpoint asset failure early. However, through the introduction of the IoT system, Polytek monitored asset data in real-time, and avoided frequent onsite presence. Most importantly, the IoT system enabled Polytek to carry out services when, and if, an asset’s specifications fell outside predefined parameters.

With greater visibility, Polytek became more responsive and enhanced its customer service.

“With the simPRO IoT dashboards, we are now alerted to potential issues before tenants even advise the building manager of an issue,” said Darren Wills, of Polytek

A system that helps you automate staff schedules

IoT capability can also take remote monitoring and facility management to the next level by automating connection with job management software. This means that when an asset alarm or fault is set off, a job is automatically created for you in simPRO, ready for a technician to be scheduled.

Yes, the world is changing through events like Brexit and Covid-19, but these changes also present us with innovative ways to operate smarter. Technology is helping FM organisations throughout the UK, and the world, embrace simple solutions that open doors to bigger opportunities. n

THE DRIVE FOR NET ZERO STRATEGY

Net zero and the business challenge John Swallow, Director at TEST Consulting, highlights how the rising cost of energy is impacting UK businesses and why they must take a strategic and proactive approach to energy management.

B

usinesses across the UK are currently dealing with the significant consequences of increasing energy costs that show no signs of abating. With electricity prices rising by nearly 250%, moving from a fossil fuel like gas or oil to electricity has become extremely expensive.

The Government’s new Energy Bill Relief Scheme will see wholesale energy prices capped for all organisations for six months from 1 October, and prices will be fixed at 21.1p per kilowatt hours (kWh) for electricity.

However, the current crisis will potentially stop several businesses’ decarbonisation plans due to the sheer cost, and even diminish the UK’s ambitions to become net zero by 2050 as businesses hunker down to weather the storm.

The energy crisis is forcing cutbacks at a time when the focus should be on better standardisation, optimisation and driving continuous change, which is where an effective energy management strategy must be considered. If the last two years have proven anything, it is that managing business costs and savings throughout a crisis must be looked at strategically, and businesses must take control rather than being controlled by the situation at hand. With no goal setting or proactive approach to saving energy, a knee-jerk reaction to managing spiralling costs simply leaves the market wide open with unachievable targets.

With the current situation, there is no doubt that businesses are concerned that they won’t have investment capital to prioritise energy management. For many already struggling with inflation and post-Covid business recovery, survival mode has fully set in - targets set for 2050 are now under serious threat.

However, we are moving from electricity costs of 12p to 60p per kWh. Whilst reducing investment into energy may seem like the right thing to do given the spiralling costs, it’s not necessarily the most profitable or effective.

For example, we are currently working with a manufacturing company that is a high energy user and whose current energy costs approximately reach £800K a year. In the current crisis, it’s likely costs for energy renewal will increase significantly to over £4M - an increase of £3.2M in raw energy costs which automatically hits their bottom line. This company’s profit margins have eroded overnight, and others in the same situation are now panicking, looking at renewable technologies as alternative options and still without a

strategic plan in place. With this shotgun approach, many forget that whenever energy costs rise, unfortunately, so does the cost of renewables and production.

Businesses need to step back and think more strategically about how to manage their energy and carbon costs better.

What’s required is education from data-driven knowledge, which will, in turn, then drive behavioural change. There must be more effort from companies to understand their energy costs and what behaviours need to change to make sure that when catastrophic energy rises occur, there are steps in place to mitigate unforeseen costs.

Wholesale price swings will continue as the global economy decarbonises and the intermittency problem with renewals remains, but things must be viewed strategically. An energy management system will help a business understand how it uses energy, so when it makes reductions, it can properly measure those reductions and further improve. Energy management enables businesses to remain fully in control of their energy and carbon consumption and manage what it is paying for.

Over the last ten years, German companies have been financially incentivised to implement ISO 50001, a standardised approach to a best-practice energy management system.

ISO 50001 enables complete transparency and control over energy consumption data and costs.

Therefore, Germany’s business landscape is much more equipped to deal with a global energy crisis, enabling more flexible demand capacity. This has been demonstrated by >>

THE DRIVE FOR NET ZERO STRATEGY

For SMEs, ISO:50001 can be a daunting commitment. ISO:50005 ensures that whatever the organisation’s size, it can take those first steps towards Carbon Neutrality and plan toward net zero. This lighter touch standard and approach simplifies the implementation of an EnMS by breaking down the phases required and follows the main requirements of ISO:500001. It also makes the transition easier to ISO:50001 when the time is right.

For SMEs, the benefits of this staged approach are as follows:

the Government setting 15% reduction targets for all businesses, which will become law if gas storage levels reach a state of emergency. Many UK businesses still don’t have a granular view of their energy consumption or capacity to reduce energy in all areas of their business through no and low-cost solutions.

With behavioural change, measurement and understanding, other than human intervention, there are no additional costs associated. The ESTA-backed Energy Conscious Organisation estimates that by deploying measurement and some form of behavioural change, we can save around 10% to 25% on ‘wasted’ energy – partly driven by ignorance around how energy is consumed.

Alarmingly, up to 50% of energy is used inefficiently. However, 25% of this waste can be saved by technical interventions, and the rest can be saved using behavioural change methods. As energy costs increase, this saving becomes scalable and potentially enables businesses to save threefold the cost if energy prices continue to rise. In context, if a company spends £100K on its energy with no plan, it could be wasting £50K. Given that 50% is wasted energy, businesses could easily cut 25% of this waste with technical interventions, or save £25K alone through behavioural change. This cultural change can also be paired with an appetite to reach the ISO:50001 Energy Management Systems (EnMS). If all businesses adopted this consumption-reduction mentality, the UK supply capacity would be drastically reduced, requiring less investment to decarbonise the grid.

As SMEs account for most of all UK firms and half of business-related emissions, more must be done to drive real, transformative and committed progress towards Carbon Neutrality and net zero as foreseen by the UK net zero Strategy – ‘Build Back Greener’ published in October 2021. It can be particularly challenging for SMEs with fewer resources to make that first move, mainly as clear, practical guidance can be difficult to find.

And we will be paying it back for many years to come.

Businesses can choose to keep swimming against the tide or take back control of what they are using.

Failure to decarbonise the UK electricity grid is a risk that must be identified in every business’ net zero plan, and this is how an energy management strategy with a focus on measure, reduce and improve helps; all energy and carbon data and calculations recorded become immediately verifiable and demonstrable, ensuring businesses can work towards Carbon Neutrality much quicker, heading towards that ultimate net zero target.

The journey to Carbon Neutrality and net zero must progress, and businesses must continue moving forward, otherwise, traction gained over the last few years has been worthless. We need to take back control and work towards an improved future. Momentum is currently shifting backwards, but with a focus on tackling kWh through energy management, businesses will have total visibility into energy and carbon use and gain business resilience in terms of where future holistic savings can be made.

Hope is not a strategy. n

THE DRIVE FOR NET ZERO HVAC

Scaling up without losing out Neil Parry, Global Head of District Energy, Armstrong Fluid Technology outlines some energy-saving strategies for HVAC installations that need to expand over time.

T

he increasing focus on lifecycle analysis of HVAC installations has shifted the emphasis from initial capital cost to a far broader examination of value, at all stages of development, operation and modification.

Theoretical calculations of energy efficiency for a fully operational site, for example, may no longer be enough, especially for larger, more complex projects. Many building developments (both private and public sector) will, by necessity, expand incrementally over an extended period of time. They may also scale down at some stage in the future, due to changes of policy or usage, or they may be upgraded/ refurbished, or connected to expanding district networks.

District energy schemes, for example, are generally rolled out gradually and expanded over time, linking additional pump houses and buildings to the network and/or utilising additional energy sources over a period of years.

The business model for creation of new data centres is also based on incremental expansion, as demand for processing capability increases. Many other office facilities, residential schemes and mixed-use developments also require the flexibility to adapt to significant changes in demand throughout their lifecycles.

In the journey towards net zero, the key for the building engineering services sector is to develop energy saving strategies that can accommodate these changes, which are the reality for existing UK building stock and the construction projects of the future.

The aim of this article is to approach this challenge from the perspective of HVAC, examining the nature of the problem (in terms of potential energy wastage) and highlighting the most important technical solutions for projects involving incremental expansion and the potential for operational changes at a later date.

Conventional designs

The traditional approach for projects of all types and complexities has been to install equipment sized to meet the maximum potential building load for the site. There are several shortcomings with this approach, however. Whilst the pumps and other key system components are sized to fulfil requirements of the finished building/district energy scheme/ data centre, in the early months and years they are required to operate far below their ideal capacity. >>

THE DRIVE FOR NET ZERO HVAC

Effective choice of control strategy

In other words, the building owner or operator is forced to live with the inevitable energy wastage associated with operating oversized HVAC equipment, leading to higher-than-average operating costs.

For district energy schemes this can mean that in the early stages, when the scheme and its operators have the most to prove to stakeholders, generation and supply of energy is at its most costly and inefficient.

From a lifecycle analysis viewpoint, energy-saving potential that is so carefully planned for the finished building can be quickly wiped out by significant energy wastage during the early years, prior to full operation.

Another important factor, of course, is that operating with over-sized equipment is associated with a higher-thanaverage potential for technical issues to develop, as the equipment is operating outside the parameters for which it was primarily designed. In some sectors it is common for entire energy centres to be replaced, or fundamentally retrofitted to avoid these issues, but these approaches have cost implications.

However, there are some technical solutions to these challenges which offer realistic options for sites where future expansion is likely and where, in our post-Covid era, demand profiles are harder to predict.

Purpose-designed modularity

The latest generation of packaged HVAC solutions has been designed to address projects where scaling-up is the necessity, so look for solutions that are already designed with incremental expansion in mind. This can avoid costly customisation of existing systems and provide much needed predictability and repeatability of environmental performance.

www.theBESA.com

@BESAGroup

Perhaps the most important technical issue to address is the choice of control strategy.

Capacity-based control focuses on the equipment being at its most efficient when operating at 100% design flow. In reality, however, the system will operate at between 10% and 60% of design flow nearly all of the time. So capacity-based control clearly fails to harness the full energy and cost saving potential. Demandbased control, by contrast, focuses on operating each component at its most efficient point to meet the actual load. Pumps incorporating sensorless control have significant advantages in delivering demand-based control, as they automatically adjust to changing demand whilst reducing system complexity.

Operation of key components along their peak efficiency natural curve

If a variable frequency drive is added to a HVAC component such as a pump or fan, there is huge potential to improve part-load efficiency due to the pump affinity laws (change in power is proportional to the change in rotary speed cubed: P α N3). If a rotating device is allowed the flexibility to operate along its peak efficiency natural curve, this can increase operating efficiency by 400%. These efficiency improvements can only be achieved, however, if the pump affinity law relationship between pressure and rotary speed, along the natural curve, is maintained at decreased speeds.

The latest generation of intelligent pumps incorporate on-board inverters, making them capable of adjusting automatically to changes in load. Design point and setpoints can be adjusted to match on-site conditions and the pumps are sequenced to operate along their peak efficiency natural curve automatically, for all load conditions. Equipment loading can be optimised across the system as a whole, to achieve significant reductions in energy consumption. >>

“

Incremental expansion is the reality for many of today’s larger and more complex projects and, in the post-COVID era, the future demand profiles for buildings are far more difficult to predict.

THE DRIVE FOR NET ZERO HVAC

Efficient staging of key energy-consuming devices

The latest generation of control technologies can also optimise energy efficiency by phasing components such as pumps and boilers in and out more effectively as demand on the system rises and falls. Traditional pump staging strategies, for example, turn on the next pump when the existing or current

pumps reach 95% of maximum speed.

Pumps are typically staged off when the existing or current pumps slow down to 55% of maximum speed. Both scenarios (staging pumps on too late, and off too early) involve lost efficiency (see Figures A and B).

The best practice alternative is to adopt efficiency-based staging points (as opposed to staging points based on pump speed). With this control strategy in place, the system “surfs” across the top of the efficiency curves throughout the day, eliminating the wastage inherent in pump speed-based control approaches (see Figure C). This improved strategy can achieve energy savings of over 30%.

Real-time monitoring and reporting

Last but not least, today’s pumps provide far greater connectivity. The ability to monitor pump performance in real-time is extremely valuable for reducing energy costs, improving environmental performance, and predicting potential technical issues, at any stage in the lifecycle of a building.

Figure A

To conclude, incremental expansion is the reality for many of today’s larger and more complex projects and, in the post-COVID era, the future demand profiles for buildings are far more difficult to predict.

There are several solutions to these challenges, however. Best-practice approaches for modularity, system control, staging and monitoring can save money and energy. These practices will improve the financial and environmental performance of buildings, development projects, district energy schemes and data centres throughout their lifetimes. n

The invisible health crisis James Edwards, Training Manager and Indoor Air Quality Specialist at Nuaire, highlights the dangers inherent in our polluted air and how building services can support better health for occupants. estimated £20 billion a year.

It increases the chances of hospital admissions, visits to Emergency Departments, as well as respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms which interfere with everyday life, especially for people who are already vulnerable4.

Traffic fumes are a major culprit of air pollution. Diesel and petrol engines churn out a cocktail of noxious gases that include carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and – most harmful to humans – particulate matter, or PM.

A

The damage these gases can have depends on their water solubility, concentration, ability to oxidize tissue, and the affected person’s susceptibility. SO2 damages the upper airways and skin because it is water soluble, whereas NO2 and CO can penetrate deeper into the lung and readily passes into the bloodstream resulting in tissue hypoxia. These gases are invisible to the naked eye, but their effects are acute: air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide and around 40,000 deaths in the UK5.

Air pollution contributes to the death of around 7 million people each year and is the fifth leading risk factor for death across the globe2. Most people believe that air pollution only affects the lungs, but recent research has shown that polluted air has systemic effects that can invade every cell in the body and damage every major organ3.

Some particles, such as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, are large or dark enough to be seen with the naked eye. Others are so small, however, that they can only be detected using an electron microscope. Particles as small as PM2.5 are fine, inhalable particles, with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometres and smaller, or 30 times smaller than an average human hair.

Since many of the negative health effects of air pollution are accumulative, with our health deteriorating gradually with symptoms often going unnoticed from one day to the next, the world is facing an invisible health crisis.

Fine particles (PM2.5) can invade lung alveoli, and ultrafine particles (PM0.1) pass through the alveolar-capillary membrane, are readily picked up by cells, and carried via the bloodstream to invade every cell in the body6.

Outdoor air becomes indoor air

If air pollution levels are high outside, then unfortunately the air inside will also contain these same pollutants. The particles and gas pollution that are produced outdoors can easily pass through open windows, doors, as well as other gaps in the building.

ir pollution is a public health emergency, but largely goes unnoticed in our daily lives.

Air is unsafe to breathe when it contains concentrations of fine particulate matter – specifically those of 2.5 micrometres in diameter and smaller – exceeding 10 micrograms per cubic metre of air (µg/m3). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that 1 in 9 people breathe air containing toxic levels of pollutants1.

Air pollution in cities is a major threat to public health with serious social and economic consequences. The burden of particulate air pollution alone costs the UK public an

WELL-BEING AIR POLLUTION

Indoor air quality affects the everyday

Europeans spend 90% of their time indoors, inside buildings where pollutant levels are often much five times higher than those found outside7.

Everyday activities like burning coal or wood on a stove or fireplace, cooking on a gas hob, using decorating and cleaning products, and even using air fresheners and burning scented candles all contribute to poor indoor air quality.

Washing and drying clothes inside, boiling the kettle, bathing, and even breathing can lead to excess humidity being generated within the home. This warm, wet air can cause fogging and streaming windows and damp patches, which may not seem like a problem, but the effects of condensation can worsen over time, penetrating the fabric of the property, furniture, and household fabrics, and even producing mould.

According to the 2020 English Housing Survey, serious condensation and mould problems were present in at least one room in 133,000 (3%) social sector homes8. Small amounts of mould in the environment do not pose a substantial risk to healthy people with regular immune system function, but in large enough quantities, these mould spores can cause ill health in almost anyone. The health risks include skin rashes, headaches, aches and pains, a dry cough, irritated eyes, sinusitis, and may even worsen allergies and asthma.

The impact of air pollution also reinforces existing health inequalities. Nearly 90% of people living in areas with illegal levels of NO2 are in the poorest 20% of the population of the UK. The poorest people in the UK are more likely to live near busy main roads and in high density dwellings. These dwellings often have lower ventilation levels, which is not sufficient to offset living in an area of high outdoor pollution or exhausting the contaminants from indoor air pollution9.

Air can never be too ‘clean’

Children, older people, people with health conditions, and people in lower-income communities are all more vulnerable to the dangers of air pollution10. However, there is no safe amount of air pollution for anyone to breathe.

There are more than 70,000 scientific papers linking air pollution to adverse health and illnesses. There are also ever more sophisticated forms of environmental monitoring. The conclusions prove that action needs to be taken to reduce emissions of fossil fuels across the country and improve the quality of air in buildings through effective ventilation.

Buildings need to be both properly ventilated and energy efficient. The importance of good ventilation is to dilute and remove internally-generated contaminants. Ventilation may be achieved naturally by opening windows or using trickle vents, or it can be done via mechanical ventilation systems, or a combination of the two.

The minimum recommended ventilation rate is 10 litres per person per second of clean air. A ventilation rate of 6 air changes per hour would mean that 6 times the volume of the room is provided every hour by the ventilation system.

At 6 air changes per hour, 95% of the contaminants in the air would be removed in 30 minutes11.

Unnecessary ventilation can waste energy, but inadequate ventilation contributes to poor indoor air quality and its associated health problems. Mechanical ventilation provides more definitive ventilation rates and helps to regulate internal temperatures, humidity, and other contaminants that build up. Mechanical ventilation can also filter pollutants from the fresh air that is drawn into the building, thus helping to provide a safe haven against outdoor pollution. n

WELL-BEING INDOOR AIR QUALITY

A question of balance Finding the right balance between air change rates, for health and comfort, and reducing energy use is the big challenge facing engineers this year, says Dene Kent, Business Unit Director at Swegon UK&I.

T

he UK’s record-breaking 2022 heatwave intensified the focus on how we can control temperature, humidity, and air quality in buildings.

The Met Office says we can expect similarly extreme weather events every three years. As a result, building services engineers must re-think the description of ‘peak’ conditions in the UK. While the UK still has no legal limit on extreme temperatures at which workers can refuse to work, last year’s events prompted trade unions to call for a 27°C limit on outside working and 30°C inside after this summer’s events.

They were already pushing for a greater commitment from employers to make workplaces safer and healthier as part of the Government’s ‘Living with Covid’ strategy. A coalition of unions, scientists, and pressure groups launched a ‘Covid-19 Safety Pledge’ to ensure that workplaces – including those that are also public spaces such as schools and hospitality venues – adopted measures designed to minimise the spread of infections and demonstrate health and well-being safeguards.

It included provisions for measuring and assessing indoor air quality (IAQ) based on guidance from the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA). It required employers to improve ventilation, filtration, and air cleaning – along with other aspects of building safety.

Pledge

Independent SAGE, the group of scientists who worked with the unions to develop the employer pledge, believes all indoor areas should be professionally assessed for air quality, design, and ventilation.

They said every building user should be provided with accurate and accessible information on ventilation and what constitutes safe occupancy and unsafe air quality levels – including continuous real-time CO2 monitoring with a notification when levels go above 800 parts per million (ppm). If conditions are not ‘safe’, workers can remove themselves without the threat of repercussions from their employer under the terms of the Pledge.

Medical studies have shown that doubling the ventilation rate reduces the spread of Covid-19 by around half. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends ventilation as a first-line strategy for giving people the confidence to return to their offices.

Employers are already legally obliged to provide conditions that make their staff feel safe and protected in their workplace. Still, many assume improving ventilation will inevitably lead to higher energy use. However, this is not an either/or situation, and addressing health, well-being and carbon reduction targets together is the best way to improve overall building performance.

The Government recognised this when it revised Parts F and L of the Building Regulations. The new standards that came into force last June enshrined the importance of improving ventilation, but not at the expense of energy efficiency (and vice versa). The Regulations also confront the urgent need to reduce overheating in buildings through the new Part O. A robust body of evidence also shows how elevated temperatures negatively affect the human body. For example, research by the US space agency NASA shows that productivity falls by 3.6% for every 1°C the indoor temperature rises above 22°C – far below what parts of the UK experienced last July.

The British Council for Offices (BCO) recommends that temperatures in commercial buildings are maintained at between 20°C and 24°C. It also recommends ventilation rates of 12 litres per second per person (l/s pp) of filtered air with an additional 10% in high-density occupied spaces to protect the health and well-being of occupants.

The BCO also says that controlling humidity is crucial, but its most recent studies showed the average relative humidity (RH) in offices was 38%, whereas, for good health, it should be between 40% and 60%. At 35% humidity, people will experience eye irritation, nasal dryness, and sore throats. >>

DCV can reduce the amount of fan energy used by as much as 80%.

The overall energy saving for cooling and heating can be up to 40% compared with constant air volume (CAV) systems – while still delivering the correct air change rates in the right places to keep people safe, healthy, and productive.

Building services designers can piggyback on the building’s IT infrastructure to deploy connected systems supplying targeted air, cooling, and heating. This approach eliminates unnecessary operating time for equipment that consumes the most energy, such as fans and chillers, but without compromising IAQ.

At 23% RH, more than 70% of flu particles remain infectious after an hour in the air, but at 43%, that number falls to just 14%. Using controlled ventilation solutions will deliver both the air change rates and RH management needed to make our buildings more infection resilient.

Outbreaks

Ventilation is not just a post-pandemic issue; it has significant implications for how we address our annual flu and cold outbreaks – a particular problem for schools, offices, and busy public spaces.

Awareness of the role of better ventilation in protecting people from the worst effects of airborne pollutants and viruses has never been higher. As a result, more building managers are looking at how they can increase ventilation rates and target airflows to ensure they reduce the risk of indoor infection transmission.

Natural ventilation is the most energy efficient option, with energy savings as high as 79% depending on what it is replacing – equivalent to as much as £30,000 per annum in running costs for a commercial building, according to the BCO. However, it increases the risk of introducing polluted air from outside into occupied spaces along with added problems like background noise.

Mechanical ventilation offers a more controllable approach.

As well as giving better control over ventilation rates and helping to avoid unventilated ‘dead zones’, they provide filtration, which is particularly important for dealing with airborne viruses and pollutants. Filters must be properly maintained, however, which is an additional cost but one that brings valuable benefits.

So, the right balance is achievable if we adopt sound basic design principles and use the controlled ventilation strategies at our disposal. We have not yet realised the full potential of demand control in ventilation (DCV) in the UK.

Using wireless networks means systems can be more easily configured, commissioned, and controlled. The use of distributed sensors and motorised air volume control dampers with linked optimising controllers can create a system that constantly adjusts itself in response to the presence (or absence) of occupants.

The rooms in most commercial buildings and schools are rarely fully occupied, and the peak design occupancy is unlikely to coincide in multiple rooms. Studies have shown that, in cellular offices, typically fewer than 50% of rooms in an office block are occupied concurrently, and the ‘normal’ peak may only ever reach about 80% of all offices.

Those figures are from before the pandemic, which has accelerated the transition to more flexible working practices.

A DCV system will modulate the air supply to meet the actual usage of an area. It can also be configured to respond to manage the level of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is an excellent ‘proxy’ for assessing the presence of other harmful contaminants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Using intelligent networks also allows the building operator to manage a predictive maintenance programme so systems are under surveillance 24/7 and any maintenance requirements can be addressed before performance starts to dip.

Building managers are searching for this kind of balanced approach because it combines energy efficiency, targeted maintenance and the close control needed to keep people safe, healthy, and productive – even in the face of the most extreme conditions. n

WELL-BEING INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Improving indoor air quality on the road to net zero David Cook, Technical Product Manager at Vent-Axia, explains how Part F is encouraging new focus on indoor air quality alongside energy efficiency.

T

he amended Approved Document Part F of the Building Regulations, published in December 2021, was hailed as a “vital step to improve indoor air quality” on the road to net zero. With the introduction of the new regulations last year, the focus has been clearly defined as a balance of health and energy efficiency, which is a positive move following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since Kyoto, the UK has been striving to reduce its carbon emissions with the Government enshrining in law its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Unfortunately, indoor air quality (IAQ) has taken a back seat. However, the latest revision of Part F has started to redress the balance of ventilation and energy efficiency since the pandemic has shown the importance of good IAQ to health and wellbeing.

As buildings become more airtight to improve efficiency, it is essential to consider IAQ to protect the wellbeing of inhabitants. The new Part F (Means of Ventilation), which goes hand-in-hand with the new amended Part

L (Conservation of Fuel and Power), therefore sets out “significant changes”, which will drive adoption of low carbon ventilation as an industry standard and improve the quality of the air we breathe in buildings.

This includes the amended Part F looking to both minimise the entry of external pollutants and ensure humidity and pollutants are extracted effectively and efficiently in new build refurbishment projects. The document also includes guidance on minimum levels of air quality, to ensure good occupant health, and considers ways to monitor IAQ as part of this.

Approved Document F Volume 2

So, what are the significant areas to consider in the revised Part F for contractors and consultants working on nonresidential buildings?

With Part F focusing heavily on health and wellbeing, a key addition is a new section on monitoring IAQ. During the pandemic indoor air monitoring through CO2 monitors has already had a heavy focus in schools to try to reduce virus transmission. Since people exhale carbon dioxide (CO2) when they breathe out, if there is a build-up of CO2 in an area, IAQ deteriorates and can indicate ventilation needs to be improved.

Part F therefore sets out a requirement for new commercial buildings to include a means of monitoring IAQ in occupiable spaces. These include (but are not limited to): occupiable rooms in offices; gyms; indoor sports venues; theatres; night clubs; pubs; hotels; and other rooms where people are likely to gather indoors.

This does not apply to small spaces up to 125m3 volume, or 50m2 floor area. It also does not apply to large spaces over 800m3 in volume, or 320m2 floor area. >>

WELL-BEING INDOOR AIR QUALITY

The required monitoring may be achieved using CO2 monitors or other means of measuring IAQ with guidance on how to use CO2 monitors is set out in Appendix C of Part F. There are CO2 sensors available which can be discreetly located on a wall and which can intelligently boost ventilation based on the detected CO2 levels. They can also provide a warning indication for occupants with a useful traffic light system if CO2 levels rise above acceptable levels, so occupants can activate purge ventilation when required.

CO2 should only be used as a guide to ventilation rather than to identify safe thresholds. CO2 measured in parts per million (PPM) has external levels of around 400PPM. A well-ventilated space would have average levels of around 800PPM, whereas average levels of 1500PPM would indicate the space is poorly ventilated and action should be taken to improve the situation.

External pollutants

Another key point within the revised Part F, is that ventilation systems should be designed to minimise external pollutants entering the indoor space. Part F now clearly states this should be taken into account if certain pollutants, including carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, lead and PM25, exceed limits as outlined in the Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010. This is also the case if a building is located too near to sources of significant external pollution such as busy roads or junctions, combustion plants, discharges from process plants and other sources of pollution that may be detrimental to health.

To combat the ingress of external pollutants in general, locate intakes away from the source of the pollution. where urban traffic is the cause of the pollution air intakes should be as high as possible and located on the less polluted side of the building. If practical, avoid intakes from courtyards or enclosed areas and if there is a significant prevailing wind direction, intakes should point in the opposite direction to the exhaust.

Document F advises that mechanical ventilation may be the most practical way of achieving this. For example, there are ducted box fans available that continuously supply fresh air or extracts stale air or both. These fans can be connected to a CO2 sensor for optimal air quality control.

Demand control ventilation

When specifying ventilation in buildings, one way to help ensure a building has effective ventilation to meet air quality needs is to opt for modern demand control ventilation systems. These are ideal in an office application as they automatically respond to the air quality needs of a space, supplying or extracting air only when, and to the extent to which, it is required ensuring a building is ventilated when populated.

This is in contrast to traditional fixed-volume ventilation systems which are either on or off, regardless of the conditions or the number of people in the room. Therefore, demand ventilation offers better air quality in offices, as well as improved energy efficiency. Not only does demand control ventilation extract harmful pollutants but also directs the air coming entering the building through filters, taking out harmful airborne bacteria and dangerous contaminants.

Energy efficiency

Another key addition to Part F, which reflects the significance of ventilation in meeting net zero, features in Section 3: Work on Existing Buildings. Here it states that when energy efficiency measures are installed, airtightness may be increased in which case ventilation should be assessed to determine what, if any, additional ventilation provision is needed to ensure good IAQ. There is also a move to more advanced energy efficient ventilation, with Part F giving maximum SFP levels for various types of systems. By implication, this pushes specification towards ventilation systems with EC motors or inverter control.

A range of ventilation approaches fit this criteria, including mixed flow in-line fans that provide ceiling mounted cooling in the summer or that can recirculate the warm air from the ceiling in the winter to minimise the amount of time space heaters need to be active.

“

There are also extract fans that feature EC motors that can provide background or purge ventilation and are easily fitted to an existing window or through a wall. And finally, demand control ventilation since it follows the principle of ventilating only as much (or as little) as required so it is highly efficient.

The latest revision of Part F of the Building Regulations has started to redress the balance of ventilation and energy efficiency since the pandemic has shown the importance of good IAQ to health and wellbeing.

”

The latest revision of Part F of the Building Regulations marks a step-change in recognising the importance of good IAQ and the role ventilation plays in achieving this. Whether working on a new build or refurbishment, it is essential that energy efficient ventilation is included to ensure occupant health and wellbeing, as well as helping work towards net zero. n

WELL-BEING STANDARDS

Healthy building standards – how to comply with them Adam Taylor, CEO of ARM Environments, considers how healthy building standards define good indoor air quality and what solutions you can deploy to improve indoor environments.

E

stablished environmental building standards like LEED and BREEAM have been around since the early 1990s. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, sustainability took a back seat, and attention rapidly switched to healthy building standards.

Many of these standards had been around for several years prepandemic but only recently caught the attention of built environment professionals. While some environmental building standards incorporate indoor air quality into their programmes, as they cover so many other aspects of a building, it tends to be light touch.

The WELL standard was the first of the significant wellbeing in buildings standards. Initial adoption was slow due to the associated costs of meeting the standard and achieving certification. The holistic approach to building wellness means that all aspects of the building must be enhanced, often at a high cost over a standard spec office. The pandemic rapidly increased interest in the existing standard, and a simpler and cheaper standard was introduced that covered health and safety specifically.

Adopting the simpler certification rapidly increased the square footage of buildings with a WELL badge.

Fitwel came along in 2017 as a direct competitor and grew rapidly due to more accessible pricing and less onerous testing methodology. It focuses less on the building than WELL and more on location, transport and amenities.

RESET was established in 2014, and although its building certification has seen limited project uptake globally, its IAQ sensor certification and IAQ limits have seen global adoption.

RESET is primarily a data standard for IAQ; it does not advise how to meet any of its IAQ parameter limits.

AirRated has seen rapid growth since its conception in 2018 due to its focus on air quality at a time when that topic was front of mind for building owners and designers.

The combined approach of assessing indoor air quality (IAQ) in existing buildings via monitoring, combined with

the consultative Design and Operation (D&O) certification for buildings at design stage is unique. As part of the D&O certification, AirRated guides building services design engineers through the specification process to achieve high-quality indoor environments by influencing HVAC design.

The BREEAM credit Hea02 covers indoor air quality. The primary focus is on source control from building products. Optimising the location of outdoor air system intakes to avoid pollution or unintended re-circulation is one of the other credits available.

LEED historically had few sections covering indoor air quality, but several new pilot credits concern indoor air quality. Overall ventilation rates are specified, but the rest of the standard focuses on post-occupancy testing for a range of pollutants. >>

UVGI, or ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, has been used for decades to control microbial and mould growth on cooling coils; this remains the best application for the technology, as it offers a payback in both increased coil efficiency and reduced maintenance. During the pandemic, the ability to infect pathogens in a moving airstream has seen its endorsement.

• UVGI is given credit in WELL v1 in the advanced air purification section as an air sanitisation solution for densely occupied spaces. And in WELL v2 for microbe and mould control on cooling coils.

• The Fitwel Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Policy was launched as a Covid response. In this document, UVGI in the HVAC system or upper room UVC is recommended.

• Part F of the UK building regulations recommends UVGI for centrally recirculating HVAC systems in offices.

Particle filters for AHUs are typically selected on a rule-of-thumb basis, with the primary intention of simply keeping the HVAC system clean. Most of the healthy building standards set limits for particulate levels that should be verified post-completion.

• In the latest version of WELL, filters with a PM2.5 removal of ≥90% are recommended for re-circulating systems.

• Extra credits for filtration are awarded for deploying filtration grades ranging from ePM2.5 80% to ePM2.5-95%, according to the outdoor particulate pollution concentrations.

• AirRated guides designers through the process of selecting appropriate filtration grades according to the desired internal pollutant concentrations in line with BS EN 167983:2017, with filter efficiencies selected based on outdoor air concentrations and the height of the building’s air intakes.

• BREEAM recommends selecting filtration according to BS EN 16798-3:2017, achieving SUP category 2.

• LEED require equivalent filtration media class of ePM1 50% or higher, as defined by ISO 16890-2016

HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) filters are classified according to EN 1822 (ISO 16890 does not cover filter efficiencies at the HEPA level). HEPA filters are typically used in medical, pharmaceutical and cleanroom industries • Part F does not specify general filtration grades; it only gives guidance for “typical situations”. It suggests that expert advice may also provide additional guidance on the suitability of other technologies to minimise the intake of external air pollutants. HEPA (to EN 1822) is a requirement for recirculating ventilation systems in offices only. While this could be designed into a new HVAC system, it is unlikely to be a viable solution for existing plant, as the increase in pressure drop over a conventional filter is significant.

Photocatalytic oxidation systems typically use a UV lamp shining on a honeycomb catalyst material. This creates localised Reactive oxygen species that react with organic compounds to break them down. PCO systems are positioned within the AHU or in the supply air ductwork.

• In the AirRated D&O certification, when fitted to the AHU, PCO is recognised as a solution for reducing inorganic gas concentrations in the outdoor air supply and for improving HVAC hygiene.

• PCO is given credit in WELL v1 in the advanced air purification section as an air sanitisation solution for densely occupied spaces. >>

Where better indoor air quality begins …

On average, we spend 90% of our time indoors.* But according to the EPA, indoor air is often two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Thankfully, ionization, as with GPS Air’s NPBI™ technology, has been proven effective in reducing airborne pollutants that can affect indoor air quality.

WELL-BEING STANDARDS

Bipolar ionisation electrically charges the air being delivered by the HVAC systems by either adding or removing an electron. This charge is given over to particulate pollution in the air. Positive and negatively charged particles are attracted to each other through a process called agglomeration. Eventually, the particles are large enough to fall out of the breathing zone, or they are large enough to be captured by coarse-grade filters. The electrically charged ions also react with organic gasses, breaking them down.

• If BPI is fitted to the fan coil units serving the occupied space, reductions in VOCs generated by the occupants, building materials and furniture are also acknowledged.

Common inorganic pollutants are ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide. These are all gases and will not be removed by conventional particle filtration. To remove a gas, you need a molecular filter. A common example is an activated carbon filter.

VENTILATION TECHNOLOGY

Visualizing the invisible Giovanni Fiore, Fluid Simulation Specialist at Dassault Systèmes, explains how an aerospace-derived technology is aiding indoor air quality assessments and simulations, making it possible to make the invisible visible.

A

cross the globe, understanding of and demand for controlled indoor air quality is becoming a prominent topic impacting the safety of workplaces, hospitals, and schools. While ventilation requirements are agreed and set during the design phase, air movement is not always predictable by intuition due to its turbulent nature. So we asked, is there something that we can do to simulate indoor air quality and contamination risks?

Why CFD?

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an established technology for simulating the motion of fluids in many applications and industries. Initially, CFD was used by the aerospace industry to assess the lift and drag of large airliners. However, the technology has since been applied in sectors such as transportation, renewable energy, and more recently consumer products and electronics. While CFD is very often associated with experimental testing, in some instances it exists as a standalone method to validate the design of products.

One of the benefits of CFD compared with experiments is that it does not require physical prototyping. In addition, CFD can assess the fluid properties anywhere within the simulated environment. In other words, the user may probe the flow field and acquire information such as pressure,

www.theBESA.com

velocity, and temperature anywhere in the domain. This information can be easily translated into charts, visuals, or animations for easy interpretation, making it possible to comprehend the otherwise abstract and complex features typical of air flows.

The recent Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need for visualizing what is otherwise invisible – air motion and air quality. Because of its versatile nature and visual outputs, CFD is an excellent candidate for representing reality in a virtual fashion, where the simulated fluid dynamics enrich the so-called virtual twin of a real built environment.

Turbulence and other complexities

Air becomes turbulent even when apparently small mass flow rates are involved, if they are capable of triggering its unsteady nature. Moreover, since natural convection is driven by changes in fluid density and temperature, those mechanisms need to be correctly captured by the simulation – think of the warm air moved by the heating system or triggered by the body temperature of the occupants in a room.

Last but not least, the capability to track the particles’ trajectory within the virtual domain is a useful tool for simulating occupants coughing or sneezing in a virtual environment. >>

The BESA Book 2023 |

VENTILATION TECHNOLOGY

To simulate a variety of scenarios seen during a typical day at the office, dispersion is initiated by 9 of the 24 mannequins for which coughing is active (circled in yellow in the diagram).

The remaining 15 non-coughing mannequins do not participate in aerosols dispersion. However, both body and clothes temperatures were assigned to all mannequins.

In CFD terms, these requirements translate into a three-fold level of complexity: 1) Solving the three-dimensional unsteady fluid equations of motion, known as the Navier-Stokes equations 2) Solving the fluid energy equation 3) Solving the equations of motion of the particles The turbulent and temperature-dependent behavior of air implies that particle dispersion simulations must be handled by a capable software and methodology. The simulations and visuals discussed in this article are produced by means of PowerFLOW, a Lattice-Boltzmann CFD code with unsteady and compressibility capabilities, widely validated and used across a number of industries for the past 20 years.

The coughing phase is modeled with – and validated against – experimental observations of droplet size and velocity of coughing individuals, and a time-dependent distribution is used as boundary condition for the particle solver.

It is fundamental not to underestimate the effect of particle size and initial velocity. For example, too heavy or slower-than-normal particles will have a completely unnatural behavior when compared to physical evidence. On a similar note, the characteristics of ventilation and air purifier devices are based on realistic data that was readily available in-house. >>

What if you coughed in a virtual world?

We then asked ourselves what would happen if a person coughed in a typical office environment? How would the particles disperse? Would other employees be at risk? And what could we do to change the flow pattern and mitigate aerosol dispersion?

First, we needed to create a virtual model on which to run our simulations. Starting from the CAD geometry of an office, we enriched the model with many realistic details – furniture, doors, occupants, ventilation systems, and air purifiers. Each of these represents a key element for achieving realistic airflow patterns, and thus credible results.

For example, a large piece of furniture placed in front of a grille will affect the air circulation and potentially impact air decontamination, and so on. These elements, together with the fluid boundary conditions (i.e. mass flow rate, temperature and pressure) make up a virtual domain where the air properties and particle trajectories are computed by means of CFD. In real life, the dispersion of aerosols may have a multitude of patterns depending on human behavior and office layout.

VENTILATION TECHNOLOGY

Moving forward

Is CFD truly the solution for effectively tackling aerosols risk assessment? We can certainly simulate aerosols as a number of individual particles travelling in air and locate the highly contaminated areas of the domain. And we can compare design variants and novel solutions to enhance aerosol decontamination. All such information can be used as public guidance for safety and risk assessment.

However, while the current CFD capabilities provide an easyto-understand way to interpret the behavior and quality of air, a word should be said on what modern CFD technology may still not do. A great deal of research is flourishing around the survival rate of viruses and bacteria when exposed to typical environmental factors such as humidity, heat, and UV radiation. All these factors drive the chances for a pathogen to spread harmfully in a given space and over time, but are not taken into account by mainstream CFD yet.

“

The recent Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need for visualizing what is otherwise invisible – air motion and air quality.

Simulations

After assessing the flow field and particle dispersion patterns, the focus shifted onto how many particles the ventilation system captures first, and then how many the purifiers may capture in a given amount of time – known as the particle extraction rate. This was simulated when changing ventilation settings (on/off) and changing the position of the purifiers.

It was observed that the compound effect of ventilation system and purifiers is far greater than the sum of its individual terms (see chart). In particular, the overall extraction rate increases as the ventilation system effectively aids the purifiers. This comes at a price, however: a noticeable increase in aerosols dispersion, with a potentially increased exposure for the office occupants (see graph showing simulated aerosols after 6 and 30 seconds).

Some key conclusions emerge as direct observations of the extraction rate in different configurations. Three recurring behaviors are noted, in particular: 1) The earliest capture is driven by how close or far away is the purifying device to the coughing event 2) The initial extraction rate is dictated by the near-field or local aerodynamics of the device 3) The steady state extraction rate is driven by the global ventilation parameters of the office space.

At present, there is need for describing and implementing the risk functions to characterize the simulated aerosols. This represents a knowledge gap that Dassault Systèmes is addressing through the PRISMES project together with AP-HP (Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris), ONERA, and UTC (University of Technology of Compiègne).

PRISMES aims at developing a digital platform for assessing airborne disease transmission risks within hospitals and proposing mitigation solutions by combining the use of the virtual twin of the built environment, simulations, and aerosol risk measurements and visualization. n

VENTILATION UPDATED GUIDANCE

Updated guidance on hospital ventilation systems Hospitals have unique ventilation requirements. Fraser Harrison, Carrier and CIAT UK’s Healthcare and Education Vertical specialist, highlights recently updated guidance for primary healthcare premises.

F

or hospitals and healthcare facilities in particular, ventilation is a critical component in a building’s life-support system. There are several reasons that specifications for hospital ventilation systems are more stringent than for typical commercial buildings.

Use of healthcare premises is intensive, with high power requirements and high occupancy and traffic levels due to the constant flux of patients, staff and visitors. Patients may be susceptible to airborne infection risks and their medical condition may require close control of the indoor environment.

Healthcare is a significant contributor to the UK’s climate footprint. Heath Care Without Harm reports that in 2019, hospitals and related buildings were estimated to account for around 5.4% of the nation’s total greenhouse gas emissions.

Given the wide range of equipment and engineering systems needed to maintain an optimum indoor environment, the legal and technical requirements applying to ventilation for healthcare premises are complex.

This includes the Health Technical Memoranda (HTM) reference series, produced by National Health Service (NHS) estate specialists and cross-industry panels. Guidance on hospital ventilation is explained in HTM 03-01, published in 2021.

While not mandatory by law, unless specifically stated, HTM 03-01 is considered an authoritative overview of ventilation requirements for NHS and other healthcare premises. It makes clear that any departure from the guidance it contains requires detailed written justification, as part of the works approval process.

The guidance comes in two parts. Part A covers design, specification, installation and acceptance-testing of healthcare ventilation systems. Part B deals with the ongoing management, operation and maintenance of existing healthcare ventilation systems. A central element in the 2021 version is a focus on carbon reduction targets.

The main principle is that, as far as possible, ventilation should be delivered by natural means, passively without requiring power input. Next in terms of priority is mixed mode ventilation, involving a combination of natural and mechanical systems.

Mechanical ventilation is the next most preferable option. >>

VENTILATION UPDATED GUIDANCE

Given the often high heat loads and intense use of hospital buildings, and the importance of fine control in managing indoor climate, the guidance acknowledges that it may be difficult to achieve total ventilation requirements through passive means alone. Some element of hybrid and/or traditional mechanical ventilation may be required.

The overriding principle in HTM-03-01 is to minimise energy consumption by choosing ventilation solutions with the lowest lifecycle environmental cost. To this end, the guidance is to switch systems “off” when not needed, and, when required to support set conditions, set-back to the minimum necessary to achieve and then maintain the desired state.

The guidance points out that since the previous edition, there have been significant changes in legislation covering energy use as well as technical developments that improve equipment efficiency. As a result, system designs that simply follow the pattern of previous installations “will not meet the revised energy or operational standards, and will not produce a compliant result.”

For reducing energy consumption by mechanical systems, it points out that one of the biggest potential areas for savings is fans, as they account for around 40% of total electrical energy used by ventilation systems.

There is a presumption against use of older-style approaches, such as belt-driven fan systems, on both safety and inefficiency grounds. The default choice for fans is now electronically commutated (EC) motors, as their efficiency can be above 90%. When part of a system, EC fans consume up to 70% less energy than conventional, single-speed fans, delivering large reductions in emissions and running costs.

HTM-03-01 also advises that particular attention be given to the correct sizing of equipment at the design stage. Key to this is determining the true “in-use operating condition.” Overestimating this parameter at the outset will result in the selection of oversized equipment, that will be less easy to control and result in higher energy use throughout the life of the system.

Improving health and safety is another key driver of the updated guidance. It provides a new approach, based on the concept of the Ventilation Safety Group (VSG) in healthcare organisations. This follows a similar approach adopted in recent guidance on water and electrical safety in their own respective HTMs.

“

VSG is a multidisciplinary group with responsibility for the safe and resilient operation of ventilation systems on healthcare premises.

As part of a hospital’s governance structure, the group reports to a designated board member. The group typically includes an authorising engineer to act as an independent adviser, an infection >>

Improving health and safety is another key driver of the updated guidance.

It provides a new approach, based on the concept of the Ventilation Safety Group (VSG) in healthcare organisations.

”

The guidance also highlights the importance of zoning and control strategy for overall ventilation system efficiency. In terms of control strategy, the guidance states clearly that hospital ventilation systems should be controlled and monitored through a building management system (BMS).

It is no longer acceptable for individual items of equipment, or separate air handling systems, to be equipped with local control only. No matter how good such controllers are, the big gains in efficiency come from a fully integrated, building-wide approach to energy management and environmental control.

Fire Dampers...

Essential fire protection If the building you are responsible for has fire dampers you must test them every 12 months. Stay compliant, lives may depend on it.

In a fire, will your building’s fire dampers be effective?

Will they buy you time to evacuate safely?

Are they tested annually to BS:9999 2017?

Can you demonstrate your compliance?

VENTILATION UPDATED GUIDANCE

There is a requirement to provide covered access for staff while servicing air handling units located externally on a rooftop or on the ground.

This is to ensure staff are protected and that equipment is shielded from possible water ingress while access panels are removed during maintenance.

A further measure to reduce environmental impact requires that components such as bypass dampers and related gears must not be made of plastics. Manufacturers are now using alternative solutions made of steel that perform just as effectively without reliance on single-use plastics.

To minimise the risk of legionella and other sources of contamination, effective management of condensate water remains key. In compliance with the requirements, drain pipework can be made with specialist borosilicate glass, enabling service staff to quickly see any build-up of deposits.

The role of refrigerants as contributors to global warming and equipment efficiency should also be considered. The guidance advises that selection should be made carefully with reference to the current F-Gas Regulations, which are subject to constant review. prevention and control specialist, a representative of the authorised ventilation contractor, estate staff, clinicians representing individual departments and finance staff. Other specialists may advise, as required.

The VSG’s remit includes the design of new systems and modifications to existing systems, annual verification and performance testing, and prioritisation of equipment for replacement.

Proposed changes that may affect the safety or resilience of ventilation systems must be reviewed and signed-off by VSG. This includes the potential impact of proposed building work on site, and its possible effect on air intakes.

While the revised HTM was produced before the emergence of Covid-19, the guidance takes account of all known transmission evidence available at the time of publication.

In this context, it states ventilation is established as one of the principle mitigations against the virus, and should be part of a package of infection prevention and control measures. The authors conclude that the recommended ventilation rates proposed “are likely to provide a lower risk environment for Covid-19 airborne transmission.”

The main consideration is to select the refrigerant with the lowest global warming potential for a given application.

It also advises taking account of the life expectancy of equipment versus the future availability and increasing cost of the refrigerant.

The detailed, up-to-date guidance contained in HTM-03-01 provides an excellent head-start and reference for designers, HVAC practitioners and building managers responsible for delivering high quality ventilation for hospitals.

It takes account of the complex needs of all stakeholders – patients, staff and visitors, as well as the hands-on professionals who install and service equipment during its life cycle, balancing these needs with the requirement to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. n

VENTILATION HYGIENE

Solid fuel cooking trends kitchen ventilation considerations Sue Dackombe, Director of Ventilation Hygiene Consulting, spotlights the growing use of solid fuel ovens in commercial kitchens – and the importance of maintenance for safety.

Safety considerations

Because solid fuel cooking appliances, such as tandoori ovens, charcoal grills and wood fired pizza ovens are increasingly popular, it’s not surprising that the HSE have recently updated their guidance on the safe use of this type of equipment in commercial kitchens.

This updated guidance reflects the possible exposure of employees and members of the public living adjacent to commercial kitchens to carbon monoxide gas.

An overview of the latest HSE legislation HSE requires employers to protect their employees and others who could be affected by the business undertaking from risk arising out of the business:

K

itchen grease extraction systems can be high-risk if not maintained correctly. There is a good deal of information available on the topic, and we feel it’s vital that we spend time helping our clients understand their obligations around maintenance.

It is an area that represents a high percentage of our work and monitoring these systems through grease readings helps to produce a system specific cleaning program that complies with Vent Hygiene Elite (VHE) and the latest industry specification, TR19 Grease. This in turn ensures that clients can demonstrate due diligence on managing these systems in their buildings.

Spending time with clients in this sector means that we soon spot trends in equipment use. One of the current changes we are seeing in commercial kitchens now is increased use of solid fuel. This creates additional risks that need careful consideration.

Restaurants and chefs are increasingly swapping labourintensive cooking practices for up-and-coming solid fuel trends in many new restaurants because it’s a tasty way to prepare food, especially pizza and barbecue. These cooking appliances are fuelled by a solid fuel such as mesquite, charcoal or hardwood.

While this cooking methods yield different, interesting flavours, it also presents an elevated element of risk. However, with the right amount of understanding and preparation, restaurant owners can safely use most solid fuel appliances.

• Workplaces must be adequately ventilated to prevent exposure to dangerous substances which includes carbon monoxide gas. When solid fuel is burned, carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas) is released. It has no taste, smell or colour and moderate exposure can lead to serious permanent ill health effects or even death.

• It is essential that your fire risk assessment and control of hazardous substances assessment (COSHH) includes this equipment, its ventilation and fuel storage with the controls you need to implement as a specific piece of equipment due to its risk potential.

• Commercial kitchens wanting to install and use solid fuel appliances should ensure they seek competent technical advice relating to the installation

Does this affect your kitchen?

The kitchen design and layout are important in relation to overall ventilation and the extraction of fumes as well as carbon monoxide. There are several questions that should be asked about the ventilation of the kitchen when considering the solid fuel option: • Is your extraction system suitable and sufficient to withstand the corrosive nature of solid fuel combustion gases and the high temperatures involved?

• Is the appliance only for indoor use? Is there a sufficient flow of fresh air into the kitchen?

• Does any canopy remove all products of combustion effectively and safely to the external air?

• When was the last specialist hygiene works carried out and was it carried out by an Approved VHE Member?

• Does using solid fuel affect the frequency of cleaning as oer TR19 Grease? >>

Maintenance fire prevention tips

It is recommended that all mechanical extraction systems should be fitted with an automated overrun facility on the extraction fan or should continue after the oven has ceased to be used to remove all products of combustion and whilst the fuel is fully extinguished. This will afford protection for the kitchen as well as any neighbouring properties that could be affected by a leak in the ducting.

Hazards

Grease fires are common, volatile, and difficult to extinguish, so standard commercial kitchen fire protection measures were designed with this hazard in mind. Regardless of the type of cooking performed, many foods release oils and grease-laden vapours that can accumulate in appliances and ventilation systems.

This accumulated grease, cooking oil and the fuel used to heat appliances are what hood fire suppression systems are designed to best handle. When activated, these systems cut gas and electricity to appliances and emit a soapy chemical that reacts with hot grease to effectively smother a fire. However, nothing can replace specialist full system hygiene works that removes grease accumulation, thereby decreasing the fuel load available to a fire.

Solid fuel cooking, on the other hand, poses some additional hazards that aren’t as easily mitigated by standard means.

One hazard is the fact that in addition to grease, solid-fuel burning causes creosote to build up on appliances and in hoods and ducts.

The dangers of creosote

Creosote is made up of condensed volatile gases created by incomplete combustion of wood. Wood smoke mixed with water vapor from cooking forms creosote that clings to the interior of the oven and the exhaust system ductwork. It is highly combustible and is well known for its fire threat in chimneys of wood-burning fireplaces.

Creosote’s flash point (the lowest temperature at which vapours will ignite when given an ignition source like a spark or flame) is surprisingly low at around 74°C. All it takes to ignite creosote in hoods, filters, and ducts is a spark, burning ember, or flame that raises the creosote temperature to 74°C. Creosote’s auto-ignition point (the lowest temperature at which it spontaneously ignites without an external source of ignition) is also surprisingly low at approximately 233°C. The combination of creosote and grease inside the oven and ductwork is easier to ignite than creosote alone and can burn hotter. This becomes more significant when you consider a wood-fired oven could reach temperatures of over 427°C. and typically maintains temperatures of 149°C to 204°C for hours.

www.theBESA.com

@BESAGroup

BESA Group

The only effective way to reduce the fire hazard is to reduce the creosote and grease build-up inside the oven and its exhaust system, which also includes the duct work and the hood if it’s not directly vented. Specialist vent hygiene contractors can be found via Vent Hygiene Elite, an initiative that audits members to ensure that their work complies with TR19 Grease and therefore giving peace of mind and protection to chefs and restaurateurs.

This is done by implementing an effective wood-fired oven cleaning procedure, in part, this standard requires that your staff clean the interior of the oven and the fire box daily. If the exhaust system has filters, they must be cleaned weekly.

Your kitchen ventilation cleaning contractor should inspect the exhaust system to determine adequate cleaning regime via testing and visual inspection. Approved VHE Members will also be able to provide a completion of work certificate and TR19 Grease compliant Post Clean Verification Report (PCVR) for your fire safety and planned maintenance records.

Summary key points to consider when installing a solid fuel appliance • Has a fire risk assessment been carried out – almost certainly mandatory condition for your insurance policy • Speak to a competent extraction and ventilation professional to ensure your existing system can accommodate new equipment • A wood-burning appliance will most often require a separate extraction system comprised of stainless steel • Ensure there is sufficient fresh air supplied to the kitchen to replace the extracted air. For wood burning appliance this should be a minimum of 75% of the total extracted flow rate • Have the ability to Inspect the combustion chamber weekly for residue that might restrict the vent, start a fire or cause corrosion.

• Only use fuel recommended by equipment manufacturers • Install a carbon monoxide monitor and ensure there is an over-run on your ventilation system if any fuel is left burning overnight • Engage an Approved VHE Member who can carry out system inspections, report on grease thickness levels and advise on TR19 Grease compliant frequency of cleaning and programme.

Ventilation Hygiene Consulting are Approved VHE Members and can set up accurate, TR19 Grease compliant cleaning regimes for clients. n

VENTILATION FILTRATION

Making every room a cleanroom The ASHRAE Design Guide for Cleanrooms defines these critical environments as enclosed spaces that can “provide for the control of airborne particulate contamination to levels appropriate for accomplishing contamination-sensitive activities.”

A

chieving considerable reductions in airborne pollutants such as viable bacteria, microbes, viruses, and other assorted particles of concern, requires highly efficient ventilation and filtration. However, this is not typically available in less specialised buildings due to its added complexity and cost.

This article refers to an ASHRAE methodology which originates in the US and is widely used globally. It can be helpful to UK designers facing certain cleanroom challenges.

The most critical indoor environments may be our more traditional buildings, where we spend up to 90% of our time, as these are responsible for the wellbeing of the overall population. They include offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, to name just a few.

Therefore, it may be prudent for us to emphasise the typical building occupant as manufacturing does the yield of their goods and services. To accomplish this, we must find practical and cost-effective methods to make all rooms more cleanroom-like.

Steps towards cleaner built environments

Concerning air filters and cleaners, “efficiency” is a term that refers to the ability of a collecting medium to capture contaminants from the airstream that passes through it. The “effectiveness” of an air cleaner refers to its ability to reduce particulate concentrations in a space.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells us: “It should be noted that expected removal efficiencies for air cleaning devices are not the same as the effectiveness of the unit in actual use. Efficiency only measures the per cent removal of contaminants in the air that flows through the air cleaning device. Effectiveness in use depends on how much of the interior air actually goes through the unit in a given time period”.

Current guidance suggests that tiny particles in the indoor air may not be effectively transported from the space and back to HVAC system-mounted air filters. This problem is due to their lack of mass (size) and the low levels of air movement typically provided within those spaces. If contaminants in the air do not pass through the air filter tasked with their removal, a filter described as very “efficient” may not be all that “effective” in actual use.

www.theBESA.com

@BESAGroup

BESA Group

Applying cleanroom solutions

Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI), applied to any space, enhances traditional ventilation and filtration by influencing the removal of exceedingly small airborne particles from the environment based on electrostatic attraction, resulting in what is known as particle agglomeration. Both positively and negatively charged air ions, like those produced in nature and abundant in cleaner outdoor air, are generated within the HVAC system. They are then distributed through the ductwork of the building and allowed to mix within the room air, where they attach (electrostatically) to airborne particles. As this process continues, these newly-charged particles are increasingly attracted and joined to one another. Their combined size and weight increase to the point where they now (being larger) are more easily influenced by HVAC system air movement, making them easier to catch, even by lower efficiency filters.

NPBI has ushered in a new method of ionising the air, known as “soft ionisation.” Hartley and Kanik, in their paper titled “A Nanoscale Soft-Ionization Membrane: A Novel Ioniser for Ion Mobility Spectrometers for Space Applications”, note that soft ionisation mechanisms do not fracture the target molecules, which could result in secondary by-products such as ozone. >>

situations. Analysis was conducted by recirculating chamber space air at a rate of 1-air change every 10 minutes (6-ACH), consistent with ASHRAE recommendation.

NPBI equipment was installed to provide ionisation directly to the space, in both positive and negative polarities ranging from 8K to 15K ions/cc, within the window of real-world guidance. Three rounds of identical testing were performed with preliminary measurements using the MERV-10 air filter alone (no added ionisation) to establish a baseline for natural particle decay. Then, testing was again performed with the MERV-10 air filter supplemented with NPBI.

Figure 2: Filtration effectiveness – MERV-10 air filter only (blue line), MERV 10 filter and Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (orange line) at 0.30µm (MPPS)

Validating improvements in effectiveness

Third-party, accredited ISO [17025, Cert. 6298.01] AHAM standard size chamber testing has independently confirmed the impact that NPBI makes in improving the effectiveness of ventilation (air movement) and air filtration (particle capture) at removing contaminants from the air in a space.

A Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 10 air filter was mounted within a test duct built to ASHRAE 52.2 standards.

This filter is rated at the following efficiencies, per specific pollutant size, based on ASHRAE testing standards: 85% for 3.0-10 µm particles and 50%-64.9% for 1.0-3.0 µm particles.

The filter is not rated for its efficiency on any smaller particle sizes. However, the smaller ones are most abundant in the air and are considered to have the most significant negative impact on human physiology once inhaled.

Testing was representative of an air filter mounted within an HVAC system serving a single space. Calibrated smoke, in particle size distributions from 0.05 µm to 10.0 µm, was dispersed inside the chamber. The smaller-sized particles used in testing were outside the scope of the filter’s rated capture efficiency but considered to cover the gamut of airborne contaminants encountered in real-world

The test result shows a comparison of various particle sizes (X-axis) versus their total percentage of removal from the space (Y axis) over time and air exchange (4 air exchanges in 40 minutes). The blue line represents the MERV-10 air filter only, while the orange line represents a filter supplemented with NPBI ionisation.

Regardless of the air exchange rate or the amount of time, ionisation profoundly impacts the removal of all particle sizes from the space. Overall, space particle removal (effectiveness) was improved from approximately 17% to almost 100% when supplemented by NPBI bipolar ionisation, as shown in Figure 2.

Better air cleaning

It is essential to understand that while the rated MERV efficiency of the air filter never changed, its effectiveness (ability) to remove particles from the space itself was significantly improved with the addition of NPBI. The particles were agglomerated, made more easily transported from the space by traditional ventilation, delivered back to the HVAC system-mounted air filter and readily removed from the return air stream. In conclusion, indoor air quality has become a significant concern for occupants inhabiting buildings of all types. When NPBI is added to the HVAC system and supplied to the space, filters can reduce fine particles considerably faster and more completely. This approach is how we can help make all spaces in every building everywhere, more cleanroom-like. n

HVAC INSULATION

The new BS 5422 – what does it mean for HVAC installations?

Will Wigfield, HVAC Product Manager at Rockwool, took part in the latest review of the BS 5422 standard. Here he sums up the changes and the impact we can expect them to have on the HVAC industry.

A

revised version of British Standard 5422 was produced last year. The construction industry as a whole, including the HVAC sector, has seen a lot of change since the last version appeared in 2009.

BS 5422 provides a method for specifying thermal insulating materials needed on pipes, tanks, vessels, ductwork and equipment for certain defined applications and conditions within the temperature range from – 40°C to +700°C. In addition, the standard specifies requirements for the insulating materials. It is meant to work as guidance for designers, specifiers, contractors and manufacturers of thermal insulation in the HVAC sector, supporting Approved Document L as the reference point to determine the minimum thickness of insulation required to limit heat losses and gains from building services.

What’s new?

One of the main changes in the Standard is the inclusion of optional enhanced performance levels, which for the first time provides guidance to specifiers who would like to exceed the standard performance. The enhanced insulation thickness

values listed in the tables in the updated Standard have been captured from the legacy Energy Technology List / Capital Allowances levels.

Applying an enhanced level performance standard to a building project can bring considerable long-term advantages for the building owners and operators, mostly reflected in lower operating costs and lower heat loss. The reduction in energy needed to run the building also has environmental benefits.

In addition, the standard now makes reference to district heating networks, and provides maximum permissible heat loss figures for this application.

Another important change is the move from national fire classification of the insulation material to the European system.

This will align BS 5422 with current building regulations and the relevant harmonised product standards for HVAC insulation.

According to the British Standards Institution, Euroclass Reaction to Fire gives a more comprehensive and clear definition of the behaviour of materials exposed to fire than the more limited legacy BS 476.

The Euroclass system determines a product’s fire performance by measuring a comprehensive set of characteristics, including ignitability, flame spread, heat release, smoke production and propensity for producing flaming droplets/particles. The classifications run from A1 to F, with products achieving A1 and A2-s1, d0 typically defined as non-combustible. >>

HVAC INSULATION

Traditional pipe supports have often included wooden blocks to prevent the insulation from being damaged and creating a thermal bridge. While successfully supporting the pipes and protecting the insulation, wooden supports can present a fire risk and provide minimal thermal benefit. More recently, pipe supports made from non-combustible material have been introduced, therefore guaranteeing that the fire classification of the system will not be reduced.

Other changes include revised and simplified tables where possible. Specifiers can now search the tables by application. Higher thermal conductivity values for obsolete or rarely used insulation materials have been removed, and single wall plastic pipes are classified as having no insulative value of their own.

Accurate calculations

The insulation required for specific projects is mostly calculated by the insulation manufacturers and is based on the tables in BS 5422. Following the update to the standard, manufacturers will have to revise their guides and advice to specifiers and installers. Installers will benefit from the simplification of the tables as it will make it easier for them to see what insulation is required.

Thermal insulation of pipework and equipment represents one of the most cost-effective ways available to limit CO2 emissions. BS 5422 plays an important role in reducing CO2 emissions in the construction sector by highlighting a series of thicknesses within its core tables, which have been calculated in accordance with environmental principles based on standard government guidelines.

Overall, the revised standard brings the insulation parameters for HVAC systems in line with current building regulations, making it easier to specify the appropriate insulation needed.

Clearer classifications ensure that it is easier for specifiers and installers to find the right material for the job. When applied correctly, this standard will make HVAC installations much more efficient, saving cost and CO2 emissions at the same time. n

Thermal conductivity values in the new BS 5422 are based on the most commonly used insulation materials at present. Note that the thermal performance of some insulation materials deteriorates over time.

As such, an aged thermal performance is declared, which typically takes the form of a ‘time averaged’ lambda value over 25 years. Other materials, such as stone wool, have a thermal performance that does not change with time. This is important for specifiers and installers to keep in mind when deciding which material to use, based on the expected lifespan of the building or HVAC installation.

Avoiding thermal bridging

An important part of any HVAC system, that is often overlooked when it comes to insulation calculations, are the pipe supports and fixtures. It is here where thermal bridging can become a problem.

The standard states that load bearing insulation should be used between the pipes and any support or fittings to avoid a gap in the insulation caused by compression of the material.

Other structural elements, for example, stiffening rings, should be insulated externally to stop thermal bridging.

AIR CONDITIONING WELL-BEING

Science and technology for better indoor air quality Garry Legg, Senior Product Manager at Panasonic, explains why science and technology must collaborate to deliver healthier indoor air quality.

There are lots of airborne factors that can diminish the quality of the air we breathe – the existence of mould, pollen, viruses and smells, for example, can all contribute to an unpleasant environment. More importantly these factors can trigger health issues such as the spread of viruses including colds, flu, Covid-19, asthma and allergies. If left unaddressed, pollutants become more concentrated, and bacteria can grow – creating a potentially harmful indoor atmosphere.

T

o keep our minds sharp and our bodies healthy, we need to breathe in approximately 11,000 litres of air a day. A large proportion of this air is consumed in the buildings where we live, work and sleep.

In fact, a report from the European Commission indicates that Europeans now spend up to an astonishing 90% of their time inside. While this number may seem high, it is not unrealistic for those of us who work at desk jobs whether at home or in offices, for eight hours a day, nor for those of us who work in any enclosed space, shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, trains, cars and buses, and then travel home to eat and sleep for (hopefully) eight hours.

What are we breathing?

As we have seen during the pandemic, scientific research suggests that indoor air can be significantly more polluted than outdoor air, with a higher concentration of potentially harmful bacteria, viruses and particles polluting our indoor air. As we strive to make buildings more air-tight to keep in cool or warm air, there is a greater chance that pollutants and harmful bacteria will accumulate, which can have a negative impact on our overall wellbeing.

Indoor air pollution can be particularly difficult to protect ourselves against as it comes from many sources and is often hard to see. The World Health Organisation categorises the most relevant indoor air quality (IAQ) issues for public health as biological air pollutants (dampness and mould), chemical pollution (which can include everyday cleaning products and volatile organic compounds in building products) and pollutants from indoor combustion of fuels.

So, how do we deal with this challenge and deliver healthier indoor air? There are several everyday changes that we can all make immediately, such as using eco-friendly cleaning products and increasing use of hard, smooth-surfaced flooring solutions that won’t trap bacteria, dirt and dust mites.

Good ventilation is key, but for many of premises, the simple act of opening windows and doors is not a viable option. >>

very aware of the requirement for IAQ and put a high degree of trust in us as practitioners and want reassurance for safe measures in our surgeries.

When we looked at the findings of the independent tests, why wouldn’t we add this technology? We can add it to our inspections and show our customers that we are trying to mitigate the spread of any airborne virus or respiratory infections within the surgery.

“There is a slight increase in cost, but we believe the cost mitigates the risks. Air conditioning is part of a wider investment in meeting ventilation requirements for dental surgeries in a post covid world – so using air conditioning which is an adjunct to cleaner air is a logical step”.

Another approach to lowering the concentrations of air pollutants at home or in business premises is to increase the amount of outdoor air coming indoors through mechanical means, such as ventilation and air conditioning systems. While this can increase comfort and disperse the concentration of pollutants, it isn’t enough to remove harmful bacteria, viruses and pathogens.

Regulators such as The European Commission are progressively building a holistic approach for the built environment, which includes science-based policies, technological solutions, appropriate interventions and investing in science and technology.

Looking to nature

Manufacturers have been exploring ways to harness the benefits of the natural world and incorporate them into technologies that can be utilised to improve indoor air quality. There are now solutions available that can generate hydroxyl radicals, abundant in nature, and able to inhibit the growth of certain viruses, bacteria and allergens.

Hydroxyl radicals seek out and destroy contaminants in the air and on surfaces, making them well-known as nature’s most powerful cleaning agent. They also contribute to the elimination of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.

In nature, hydroxy radicals last for less than a second, but once contained in tiny water particles, these hydroxyl radical particles have a long lifespan – up to 10 minutes, which significantly boosts their effectiveness. They can then spread over long distances so that hard surfaces, soft furnishings, and the indoor environment can be a cleaner and more pleasant place to be.

A recent case study with Riverdale Healthcare highlights some of the benefits of this type of technology. Ian Gordon, Dental Director of Riverdale Healthcare explains: “Patients are

Another application is in holiday rentals. Rebecca Barraclough, holiday rental property owner, says: “When I spoke with our installer, Andrew Pinder of Pinder Cooling, about which heating and cooling products to go for, he said that being able to clean the air even while guests are staying is a massive positive and helps make them feel more comfortable. Portable air conditioning units tend to be big, heavy and loud, so having the units fitted onto the wall and be able to use it year-round would be a real bonus.”

By bringing physical science and technologies together it is possible to combat indoor pollutants at source, paving the way for a cost-effective solution that could bring healthier air to people worldwide. This collaboration of chemistry and technology changes the properties of indoor air, making it safer and healthier to breathe. To protect our collective health, science-led solutions need to become an integral feature in every home, business and public building – as fundamental as hot water and internet access.

At Panasonic, ensuring personal health and protecting environment are at the forefront of its innovations. n

AIR CONDITIONING ENERGY SAVING

Reduce, remove, repair – how cooling can save the planet The refrigeration and air conditioning sector should be at the forefront of the response to global climate change, says James Henley, Product Development Manager at Daikin Applied UK.

C

ooling energy use in buildings has doubled since 2000, making it the fastest growing consumable in buildings and could double again by 2040. This figure has huge implications for global climate change and means our industry is in a position of influence and responsibility.

The air conditioning and refrigeration sector has made good progress on the first thanks to our development of highly energy efficient technologies. However, undoing damage already done, i.e., removing carbon from the atmosphere and repairing damage to the natural world, are massive challenges.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported that it should be possible to keep building energy use at today’s level until 2040 worldwide, despite a predicted 60% increase in new construction and the potential doubling of air conditioning capacity. But we can only achieve this goal if we make optimum use of all the best technological options already available to us.

Our industry has a lot more to offer than just energy saving – important as that is. We can also help to repair some previous damage by addressing our supply chains and providing the cooling solutions that will be crucial to some of the techniques needed to reverse climate change, such as energy storage.

However, the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge University believes that will not be enough to tackle the climate emergency we face. It has produced compelling research about the need to look beyond simply cutting carbon emissions to address climate change.

Former government chief scientific advisor Sir David King, who heads the Centre, says we must focus on three R’s: Reduction, Removal, and Repair.

Repairing damage already done

The ‘cold chain’ is already a pivotal system because of its role in food supplies and making it possible for people to live and work in inhospitable conditions. Still, the pandemic further highlighted its importance because of its role in manufacturing, storing, and transporting vaccines.

The most obvious direct action we can take is making more sensible refrigerant choices. Difluoromethane is a case in point. Better known as R32 or HFC32, it is a gas that has long fascinated scientists and engineers because of its excellent properties. It transfers heat very effectively, so it can reduce electricity consumption by as much as 10% in a refrigeration cycle compared with many of the popular refrigerants that are gradually disappearing from our market.

When choosing a refrigerant, our selections need to be future proof.

This involves finding that crucial balance between safety, affordability, and environmental impact.

Unfortunately, there is no ‘silver bullet’ solution to fit all applications, but the trend towards lower global warming potential (GWP) is now unstoppable thanks to the F-Gas regulations and the climate awareness of our clients. >>

AIR CONDITIONING ENERGY SAVING

The GWP of R32 is one-third lower than R22 and R410A (the most widely used refrigerant gas for air conditioning), and it has zero ozone depletion impact. If the industry switched all R410A equipment to R32, the result would be a 19% cut in CO2 emissions – around 800 million tonnes – by 2030.

While alarming to some, this would have a wide range of benefits in the long run. According to studies, if the industry switched R410A equipment over to R32, the result would be a 19% cut in CO2 emissions – around 800 million tonnes – by 2030.

As a single component refrigerant, R32 is also easier to recycle and reuse. This characteristic will become an increasingly important consideration as we seek to go beyond cutting operational emissions and reduce the amount of raw (or virgin) material we use in our systems to reverse some of our impact on the natural world.

This change is something the regulators are looking to deliver by updating F-Gas rules, which could include a ban on the use of virgin fluorinated gases for servicing and maintenance of refrigeration equipment with a charge size below 40 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Daikin Applied was the first company in the world to introduce R32 into split air conditioners in 2012, and we have since gone on to add R32-enabled commercial air conditioners and heat pumps in our Bluevolution range.

When choosing a refrigerant, our selections need to be future proof. This involves finding that crucial balance between safety, affordability, and environmental impact.

Then in 2018, Daikin Applied became the first manufacturer to successfully apply R32 in air conditioning chillers – introducing a new generation of air-cooled scroll products.

This pioneering work will have exciting long-term benefits for the industry as a whole and its growing number of customers around the world.

Using R32 means chillers can achieve a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) that is 10% better than earlier models using R410A, for example, and with a GWP of just 675. In addition, R32 refrigerant is an A2L class refrigerant, which means it has low flammability making it safe for use in many applications, including chilled water systems.

Reducing direct emissions

Innovations like R32 are also crucial for reducing direct emissions – not just those from power generation. In the event of any leakage of refrigerant gas to the atmosphere, a system with a 63% lower CO2 equivalent than its predecessors can make a huge difference to an end user’s environmental footprint.

Of course, we can also minimise refrigerant leakage by using remote monitoring technologies which will become increasingly important for keeping systems working efficiently and reducing downtime.

The ongoing review of the European F-Gas Regulation also plays a big part in how we respond to the climate challenge.

The UK has agreed to continue ‘mirroring’ the regulation despite our departure from the EU, so the measures currently being considered by the European Commission (EC) will carry equal weight here.

As part of a plan to reduce HFC use by 88% by 2030, the EC is looking at a potential ban on the use of R410A in new stationary air conditioners and heat pumps, which could also have significant implications for the future of VRF systems.

The Commission is considering removing all HFCs with a global warming potential (GWP) of 750 or more from the market, which would effectively leave R32 (with its GWP of 677) as the primary readily available alternative for the widely used R410A.

www.theBESA.com

@BESAGroup

BESA Group

Regulators are also looking to introduce additional HFC phase down steps in 2034 and 2036 to speed up the market’s transition to more alternative gases like R32.

Regulation is also emphasising training and improved certification of our industry’s workforce so they can better adapt to these changes and work with alternative refrigerants like HFOs.

“

”

New refrigerants present new technical challenges – not least working at different pressures or with mildly flammable substances. Getting this right is also in tune with the new building safety regime prompted by the Hackitt Review. This process led to an overhaul of UK legislation, including the Building Safety Bill, which came into force last year, along with important revisions to the Building Regulations.

The refrigeration and air conditioning industry is already playing a crucial role in helping the world adapt to climate change and adjust to rising global temperatures. Many of the services society takes for granted would not be possible without our technologies and expertise. However, with that role comes additional responsibility to adapt quickly to a rapidly changing planet and ensure whatever we do contributes to the broader goals of reduce, remove, and repair. n

The heat is on to find a replacement for natural gas and gas boilers

I

n 2030 new homes will be banned from installing gas and oil boilers and will instead be heated by lowcarbon alternatives. It has been determined that around 19% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions are derived from homes and buildings with boilers, so this is a significant drive by government to help achieve its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Decarbonising UK heating will not only reduce our demand for fossil fuels, it should also have a positive impact on fuel bills for households. There are various cleaner energy options that could replace gas as an energy source, and the government referenced these in its Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, published in 2020.

When considering alternatives to gas boilers, it is important to understand that there are benefits and drawbacks in each option. Possible alternatives include air source heat pumps (ASHP) and ground source heat pumps (GSHP).

ASHPs are designed to absorb air outside the home or other building, converting it into a fluid through a compressor, then transferring to the heat circuits around the house, providing space heating and hot water. As a bonus, heat pumps can function in low temperatures, down to -15°C. ASHPs are an energy efficient technology as they require minimal electrical input.

106

| The BESA Book 2023

The ground source heat pump is similar, but it derives heat energy from the ground instead of the air. Pipes are laid in a loop formation under the ground near the building, with anti-freeze and water pumped through to absorb the heat energy heat up. The loop is connected to a pump and transferred to the building heating system. A GSHP can be 300% to 400% efficient and 70% lower carbon emissions within the average household if it is installed correctly.

Benefits: • Lower energy costs –Save over 50% on energy bills • Decrease carbon footprint – Lower CO2 Emissions • Safety – eliminates the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning • Contribute to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) • Longevity Drawbacks: • High capital costs of owning a heat pump • Weather-reliant – Despite the fact they can function in low temperatures, there is less efficiency due to working harder and may heat admittance into the house • Noise pollution • Installation issues – If a heat pump isn’t installed in the right area this could impact the amount of efficiency that is delivered from the heat pumps and needs to be the correct distance (20m max) to ensure full functionality

HEATING LOW-CARBON

Benefits: • Clean energy – this doesn’t cause air pollution and greenhouse gases • Cost-effective – can be used by anyone • Sector employment – leads to creation of jobs in the sector Drawbacks: • Noise and visual pollution are factors that may cause disruption within local communities near onshore wind farms • Unable to provide a constant source of energy – weather dependent • Wind farms have been associated with harmful impacts on wildlife These installations will bring considerable changes to the household and there is a high initial price for purchase to install the heat pump. In 2021 there was a 28% rise in installations and a study showed that 57% of people want to be more environmentally-friendly when it comes to energy use, indicating a shift in public attitudes.

In addition to thinking about heating and hot water systems in homes and other buildings, the UK mulst also think about how it will generate electricity in the future. Now, we rely on natural gas to produce our electricity, although in 2021 zero carbon generation overtook fossil fuel consumption in 11 months of the year*. However, we need to progress our use of renewables for generation if we are to achieve that net zero goal.

Wind energy is considered one of the most significant renewable electricity generating sources in the UK. Wind power contributed 26.1% of the UK’s total electricity generation in Q4 2021 with onshore and offshore wind contributing 12% and 14% respectively.* The UK government plans to grow its investment in offshore wind farm development as part of its net zero plans.

Solar power is another well-known option which can be used at a large scale to produce electricity for the grid, or as a building-integrated system providing electricity for a home or other building. There have been many developments in solar panel design, such as printable solar panels where the panel is made from semi-conductor polymers that capture light and convert it more easily into energy. Around 970,000 UK homes have solar panel installations.

Solar farms are large expanses of land that have solar panels in them to generate solar energy. In 2022 there were 469 solar farms across the UK, producing 11.6GW of electricity per year.

Benefits: • Solar panels on a home can reduce the household’s electricity bills • Building integrated solar panels reduce the carbon footprint of a building • Systems have long warranties (20 to 25 years) Drawbacks: • Expensive installation for home. systems e.g., 4KWp photovoltaic installation costing around £5,000 to £8,000. >>

HEATING LOW-CARBON

Benefits: • Carbon neutral • Less expensive than fossil fuels – generating higher profits from a lower output • Ensures that there is less rubbish in landfills – can be reduced by 60% to 90% • A revenue source for manufacturers – rubbish disposal creates energy Drawbacks: • Is carbon neutral but does release methane gas during burning • Increase deforestation of plants and trees • Biomass facilities require a lot of space to function properly • Performance is affected by the weather – the UK experiences 133 days of rain or snow per year • Habitat loss (for solar farms) - Ironically, to pursue more sustainable methods of retrieving energy, involves destroying natural habitats Hydroelectric power also involves harnessing kinetic energy to produce electricity, utilising flowing water to move a turbine which in turn generates electricity. Hydroelectric generation comes in various forms including, dams, pumped storage, run of the river and tidal power. Water power has been in development for the last 150 years, and produces around 20% of the world’s electricity, and 90% of the world’s renewable power*.

Benefits: • Low carbon emissions emitted • Reliable – works based on constant flowing water, that can be either diverted away or towards turbines to generate energy • Long term operation – can exist and be operational between 50 – 100 years Disadvantages: • Environmental damage – could prevent fish species from migrating and potentially finding food • The high upfront cost to construct – due to high logistical costs such as laying foundations • Potential risks of flooding in lower elevated areas are accidentally exposed to strong currents released from the dam • Emits high quantities of methane – this can lead to the decomposition of plants in proximity There are many operational dams across the UK which contribute to providing sustainable energy, such as Dinorwig Power Station which produces 1782 MW in Northwest Wales.

Dams like this have the combined force to produce up to 20% to 30% of the total renewable energy that the UK produces.

The UK’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 means that we must consider all the options when it comes to generating electricity from renewables – and how we can use that energy in our homes and other buildings most effectively and efficiently. The technologies to achieve the goal are already here, we must apply them carefully to make the most of their benefits while also mitigating potential drawbacks. n

HEATING BUILDING SAFETY

Safety Act will transform building services work The Building Safety Act, in force since April 2022, will profoundly impact all parts of the building services supply chain, says Lochinvar’s Liam Elmore.

I

t took five years of soul-searching and recrimination following the Grenfell Tower disaster before the Building Safety Act was voted into law and it will take a few more years before the new legislation achieves its overall aim to transform the culture of construction.

Competence

The legislation establishes a ‘competence framework’ to underpin its ambition to ensure only people with the right (and relevant) skills can work on construction projects – and clients have clear responsibilities to appoint competent companies.

However, its long-term impact will be extremely far-reaching.

Many in the industry still do not fully appreciate how significant this will be, wrongly assuming it is just about high-rise, high-risk buildings (HRBs). It is, in fact, about any project, in any building that requires a safety notice.

It also calls for a huge improvement in how information is shared between all parties, particularly during the early stages of a project, using the so-called ‘Golden Thread’ principle.

This will be crucial to delivering one of the legislation’s most important ambitions – to preserve the integrity of designs.

There are additional implications for HRBs in the shape of a new Gateway planning system that means designs are scrutinised at different stages before work can continue, but the overall ambition of the regulators to improve competence and communication reaches right across the industry.

The Act does not prohibit changes but seeks to ensure they are not made arbitrarily simply to save money. As this article was being finalised, the finer details of the secondary legislation were being hammered out, but a top priority was to put a process in place to help the Regulator distinguish between necessary and what might be called ‘mischievous’ changes.

In any case, many building services companies of all sizes regularly work on HRBs at various stages, including those who carry out maintenance, repair, and modification work – all of which will be classified as high-risk projects by the newly appointed Building Safety Regulator, therefore, bringing them into the scope of the Act.

By the same token, it is important that the new rigorous enforcement powers provided by the Act and that carry criminal sanctions do not end up with some people being prosecuted unfairly – avoiding unintended consequences that could lead to unfair and disproportionate punishments. Better enforcement is vital, of course, but it needs to be proportionate. Not all design changes are made by people trying to duck compliance – often, specifications are simply impractical. >>

HEATING BUILDING SAFETY

However, we do need to get away from the current ‘patchy’ enforcement of Building Regulations. Part L, in particular, has widely failed to drive home the hoped-for energy efficiency changes. You could also argue that the Grenfell Tower fire resulted from people not meeting the requirements of Part B. Our experience during the pandemic also showed that we have singularly failed to meet Part F’s ambitions for proper ventilation in buildings – so the fact that these key regulations were also updated in 2022 is significant.

We are starting to see a more co-ordinated approach to meeting and enforcing better standards right across the piece, but the Act also raises a crucial question: “Who is the designer?” because this has significant implications for assigning responsibility.

There is considerable debate going on about what this means for manufacturers. You could argue that as soon as someone in our sales office advises a contractor about using our equipment, they take on some responsibility for the design.

That appears to be what the legislation now says.

This is a tough thing to regulate, particularly if we are only offering what might be described as ‘general advice’, not something prescriptive and site-specific. However, manufacturers should not be looking to duck their responsibilities.

We will have to be ready to be challenged sometime in the future and be able to defend our position – along with everyone else in the supply chain. That can be seen as a positive thing and should, in the main, reflect how we are already working.

Handover

Lochinvar provides free pre-installation technical visits to ensure the client is fully briefed and any possible on-site complications are flagged up before our equipment arrives.

Client liaison is crucial at the design and pre-commissioning stages to pave the way for a smooth installation and handover – and we take that aspect of our service very seriously.

Potential issues around site access and suitability should be ironed out before equipment is delivered, and our project engineers are happy to share their experience with our clients.

It adds value to what we offer and reduces the risk of delayed projects leading to additional costs – very much in the spirit of the new legislation.

It is also essential that enough time is allowed for commissioning, and the Regulator is expected to come down hard on duty holders if this important period has been sacrificed. After all, contractors could argue, legitimately, that they were not given enough time to make sure the installation was compliant.

To ensure we can meet the goals of the legislation, it is vital to change the culture around commissioning too. It is not just a ‘tail end Charlie’ task but should be considered from

the outset so that essential considerations like ease of access to the equipment are included in the design, and comprehensive technical information is passed on to the commissioning team.

This helps ensure it is safe and means the pieces are in place for ongoing service and maintenance to support better long-term building performance. Sharing our expertise means a manufacturer will improve the quality of an installation – both at handover and through its operating life – for everyone’s benefit, whether it is a legislative requirement or not.

A more joined-up process is more important than ever because commissioning engineers are being asked to carry out increasingly complex tasks. They are at the forefront of the low carbon heat market with the growing specification of heat pumps a key area.

Working with the manufacturer is a good way of achieving commissioning aims because they have intimate knowledge of their products, and their commissioning engineers will already have experienced most of the technical challenges they are likely to meet.

For example, Lochinvar’s service and commissioning team can set up boilers and water heaters to operate at maximum efficiency from day one. They can spot potential problems quickly because of their detailed knowledge. They will also issue a commissioning report, a valuable resource for facilities managers charged with keeping the system operating close to optimum throughout the building’s lifecycle – and not ensure compliance with the relevant regulations.

We also offer three free-of-charge design and commissioning visits to every heat pump installation and can provide on-site training, which will help ensure installations are compliant and set up correctly to work well throughout their operating lifetime.

The protection and peace of mind provided by the warranty is another important consideration for an end user. If a manufacturer has been appointed to carry out the commissioning, the warranty period usually starts at that date, but this may not be the case when commissioning is carried out by a third party.

In the end, however, this is not just about sticking to safety rules. It is also about our industry providing a better all-round service to clients and their supply chains, which we should all aspire to – safety should be a given. n

Who’s in control?

Richard Hanson-Graville, Head of R&D for Thermal Integration (Heatweb), explains why open monitoring and control principles are vital for efficient and robust BEMS performance.

B

uilding Energy Management Systems (BEMS) role is to monitor, to modulate, to time and to report. This ensures that end users get the most efficient energy supplies by maintaining operation and highlighting problems. At least, that’s what they should be doing.

But they are not. One can gauge their performance by a few simple measures. Are the return temperatures healthy?

Are the boilers sequencing and condensing? What are the generation efficiencies (COPs), and what are the distribution losses? If a BEMS does not provide this information, it is not fit for purpose.

Recently conducted government-funded schemes looking at the efficiency of heat networks across the UK showed that they consistently fail to perform. At the heart of the problems are the controls.

So, what has gone wrong? That much is fairly clear-cut.

Without any oversight or quality control in an industry, the forces of commercial interest and competitive tendering will push standards into a place where profits are prioritised over efficiency. Take cladding as the perfect example; BEMS systems are no better. Why can’t a system that costs so much do the simplest of tasks and reliably alarm when return temperatures are too high or control a pump to target?

114

| The BESA Book 2023

Because nobody puts in the additional effort required to set up and check the functions - they are only interested in the installation and hand-off. It is about hiding problems to minimise costs rather than shining a bright light on significant problems.

In BEMS, we also have a toxic mix of technical barriers, contract boundaries, changing standards, and a severe lack of skilled engineers. Few consultants can describe the functions BEMS should be performing to meet CP1 in detail, let alone installers able reliably to implement logic nobody can explain in detail. More importantly, if there is no transparency and no desire to spot the problems, then it is no surprise control panels have been described as a £50k light switch and why the typical heat networks have over 50% losses.

Even those exemplary systems you read about and see photos of the beautifully piped plant rooms, detailed BEMS graphics, and graphs showing low temperatures, more often than not, end up slipping into decay very rapidly once the lights are off and medals won.

However, once the problem is recognised, it is easy to fix.

Very easy! It starts with removing the plausible deniability and removing the excuses. The straightforward, low-cost reporting of a few basic metrics openly makes everyone clear whether there are problems or not. For example, on

HEATING MONITORING

a heat network, the key metrics would be flow and return temperatures. They should be heading to 30°C these days, and network performance hangs on this. So we are talking about two temperatures - flow and return - in bright lights (on a website). With a siren that goes off if it goes too far out of limits for too long, possibly in the form of emails. Such a system can be set up in hours, would be license-free, independent of other systems (i.e. a dedicated SIM card for connectivity), and most importantly, accessible by all who have a vested interest.

However, saying that simple reporting is the complete solution is misleading. Reporting is good for the end users, the planet, and Ofgem. But without the technology and skills available in the industry to implement reliable solutions, it simply can’t fly in a commercial world and can mean a world of pain for installers caught up in poor design and alarms.

The solution to this conundrum is to extend open monitoring and control principles, using them to their full ability and not just as a reporting mechanism. But what does that mean?

It means applying the principles of IoT technology instead of closed and licensed systems. It means using standard control libraries and not reinventing the wheel on each system. It means using the time you have to look at graphs and work out where something has gone wrong early enough that consultants can alter things, rather than fighting with licenses, poor support and cost restraints at the 11th hour.

Internet should be the first service installed, not the last.

An example from the real world may clarify the changes that can easily be made. The example concerns the installation of substations that we manufactured using open control systems.

The manufacture of HIUs, substations and thermal stores is our bread-and-butter business. We switched to using open control a long time ago to better develop in-house equipment controls. As a result, our substations are fitted with a control panel that utilises 100% open controls, from the PLCs to the controls software and communications protocols. Their performance is judged by the data they provide to clients, providing real-time graphs and allowing us to customise control logic as we see fit.

Once installed, a pattern has emerged.

The substations end up in plantrooms, surrounded by boilers, pumps, pressurisation sets, heat meters, valves, and the rest. All are wired to existing BMS panels and, more often than not, invisible, with no monitoring. Our substations become the eyes on-site, and engineers soon learn that the data they provide can save them days in diagnosis and provides them with alarms quick enough that they can react before clients get too heated. >>

The role of BEMS is to monitor, modulate, time and report. This ensures that end users get the most efficient energy supplies by maintaining operation and highlighting problems.

HEATING MONITORING

Before long, we are usually asked if we can gain some visibility on other assets. Can we connect to the pressurisation set’s Modbus? Can we pick up alarms from the boilers? Can we sequence and control the pumps? The beauty of an open control system is that the answer is always “yes, we can”.

Before long, the entire plantroom is running much healthier on open controls with full visibility and alarming.

However, this is not an advert, as the “we” refers more to the community when discussing open systems. We can, personally, or you can (the installer) by copying and pasting the appropriate code and following example wiring diagrams. Providing there is a spare RS485 on a controller in the panel, or a USB where you can use an FTDI-RS485 cable, then connecting the Modbus to a pressurisation set can take as little as five minutes “programming”.

Manufacturers are used to evolving products based on R&D and feedback of any type—the more criticism, the better the product. We have found in the last few years, with open controls now installed at every point of heat networks and energy centres, hundreds of properties, and in the cloud, that the data fed back from sites is no different in value from test rig data used in product R&D and standards testing. The functions deployed on equipment evolve, driven by a need to fix visible problems, tune performance, pass the latest standards, save commissioning time, reduce call outs, and demonstrate how excellently systems perform.

District heating and the power of POD Charlie Mowbray, Commercial Product Manager, Groupe Atlantic UK, ROI & NA, considers the importance of heat networks and the role they can play on the pathway to net zero.

2. The energy centre connects to the distribution network, the insulated pipes that deliver hot water to end users.

D

ecarbonising heating and hot water in buildings is an existential challenge for our industry, but one solution that is set for a resurgence is district heating, or heat networks, thanks to the energy efficiencies that can be achieved and the scalability on offer.

Around 500,000 UK properties are currently connected to district heating networks but the government’s Clean Growth Strategy predicts this could rise to more than five million by 2050. To help make this happen, £288 million has been committed to support the development of new heat networks through the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF), which is open to the public, private and third sector and runs until 2025.

3. Each end user then has a Heat Interface Unit (HIU), like the Ideal Heating POD, which transfers heat from the distribution network to the end user’s heating system or is used to generate instantaneous hot water. The HIU looks just like a domestic combi boiler from the outside and has similar controls, but instead of burning gas it uses heat exchangers to transfer thermal energy from the hot water in the distribution network to the water in the property’s heating and hot water systems.

What are the advantages?

District heating is a flexible, tried and tested technology that has been safely and effectively heating homes around the world for more than a century.

Having a single heat source, the energy centre, can generate economies of scale and help the whole system operate more efficiently, in turn reducing carbon emissions. The versatility of heat networks means they are suitable for all building types, from bungalows to high rise flats, businesses and public buildings, regardless of their age or fabric. In fact, a mix of different building types can be a benefit as demand for heat is spread through the day and year, so the system doesn’t experience sharp peaks in demand at certain times.

A district heating system delivers thermal energy in the form of hot water from a central source to end users using a network of insulated pipes. This network could be designed to serve a single block of flats or an entire city.

Every district heating system has three main elements:

While they are typically used in high-density built-up areas such as city centres, they can also heat new build developments and campuses as well as off-gas communities in rural locations.

In older housing stock, they are a practical option to retrofit because there is no need for flue routes or gas connections to individual properties. In all property types, they remove the need for gas checks along with the risks associated with gas and flues.

1. The energy centre sits at the heart of a heat network, heating the hot water that is distributed around the system. Although energy centres can use almost any heat source, to take advantage of the GHNF low carbon heat sources must be used.

With foresight at the design stage district heating networks can be extended over time, adding new energy centres and end users, and separate networks can even be connected, increasing the impact and enhancing the economies of scale that can be achieved.

What is district heating and how does it work?

118

| The BESA Book 2023

HEATING HEAT NETWORKS

Ideal Heating has developed a heat interface unit (HIU) specifically to suit these systems, which comes in two models: • POD Indirect is a twin plate appliance to provide complete separation from the heat network for both heating and hot water.

Available in outputs of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70kW. • POD Direct is a single plate appliance, enabling heat from the network to directly heat the heating system and indirectly generates instantaneous Domestic Hot Water (DHW). Available in outputs of 30, 40, 50 & 60kW. For end users, heat networks can achieve lower energy bills because a central energy centre can be more efficient than individual boilers in each property. The savings generated will depend on a range of variables from the type of system used to the type of property and how it was previously heated, but the UK government suggests savings of at least 30 per cent could be achieved when replacing electric heaters in tower blocks, for example.

What’s more, the Scottish government forecasts annual fuel savings of around 20% for every household that connects to a heat network . This is because HIUs measure the amount of heating and hot water used so individual households can be billed according to the exact amount of energy they have consumed.

The impact on greenhouse gas emissions can be even more impressive. Veolia reports that the district energy heat network that it operates in Sheffield cuts carbon emissions by more than half , and analysis by Devon County Council suggests that a plan to power a new development of 2,500 homes using district heating will reduce carbon emissions by up to 70 per cent . Swedish energy firm Vattenfall’s plan to build a heat network in London serving 500,000 homes, powered by waste heat from recycling, data centres and water processing, would reduce heat-related emissions from homes by up to 90 per cent.

All the POD indirect heat interface units are BESAregistered, having met the requirements of the BESA UK HIU Test Regime for both high and low temperature operating conditions.

The rapid roll out of heat networks brings an exciting proposition on the pathway to net zero. To meet the needs of all who come into contact with these new forms of heating - from the end users who want a reliable and simple-to-use appliance to contractors and installers - our development team has prioritised ease of install and servicing, availability of spares and the number of engineers to ensure the best possible experience.

Our first fix kit – which incorporates the service valves, appliance support and hanging bracket is supplied separately so it can be delivered and installed ahead of the HIU so all services can be piped up, flooded, flushed, and tested in advance – enabling phased construction programmes and maximising productivity on site.

With over 100 years of experience providing high-quality heating solutions, we are committed to supporting the UK on its drive to net zero. We recognise the role we can play in helping to make that journey as easy as possible for contractors and installers, not just from the perspective of the devices we design but also the training we offer to ensure everyone can be upskilled in installation. n

The outlook for the UK

The UK is taking a slightly different approach to district heating than they have on the continent. There, water leaving the central energy centre may be up to 90oC, whereas the drive in the UK is to have a maximum primary temperature of 70°C. This gives greater cost and efficiency benefits as a wider range of heat sources can be used, from heat pumps to energy from waste, recovered geothermal energy and renewable energy.

Driving district energy in the UK As demand grows for efficient, clean energy, Gareth Ash, Marketing Communications Manager at Danfoss, considers the need to drive expansion of sustainable district energy networks in the UK and explores some of the key trends and technologies in this fast-developing sector.

W

ith heating and cooling accounting for up to 80% of a building’s energy consumption, finding more sustainable ways to maintain a comfortable temperature in our homes, businesses and public buildings is an important step towards the goal of net zero carbon.

Although there are several sustainable energy technologies available – and a mix of solutions will probably be needed – district energy networks are widely recognised as one of the key enablers in the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling supply. They can take heat from all available sources and use it to fulfil space heating or cooling and hot water demands, making them an extremely flexible solution. And because systems can also be fed with excess heat recovered from various sources that would otherwise be wasted, the model results in a more efficient and cost-effective energy system.

A common approach – though not the only option – for implementing a district energy network is with a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. A mix of district energy and CHP can lead to fuel efficiency of more than 80% compared to the 45% to 50% fuel efficiency typically seen in new power-only plants.

120

| The BESA Book 2023

However, while district energy networks pair especially well with CHP plants, a CHP plant is not a requirement to establish a district energy network. In fact, the move towards low temperature district heating (LTDH) often referred to as 4GDH is shifting focus away from CHP as a viable option for the future.

4GDH systems accommodate temperatures from 50°C to 65°C and are sufficient to fulfil all heating demands. They are distributed in insulated pipes from any central heat source and often feature a central heat pump to raise the temperature when required.

Greater sustainability

Like many of those committed to greater sustainability, Danfoss believes district energy has an important role to play in the green transformation of the built environment. Studies show that a 35% district heating share (up from around 2% today), together with sector integration, could cover at least 29% of the district heat production (Heat Roadmap UK – www.heatroadmap.eu). District energy is also part of energy-saving trends such as the circular economy and digitalisation. Waste heat currently produced at various types of facilities can be fed directly into a heat distribution system to heat many buildings and homes in the area.

HEATING DISTRICT ENERGY

New Code of Practice for the UK

To support expansion of district energy in the UK, CP1 2020 is a major update of the CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) Heat Networks Code of Practice for the UK.

As an example, IT cooling in data centres consumes significant energy in heat management of servers, while generating a great deal of excess heat. With the addition of a ‘booster heat pump’ heat networks can utilise this heat as part of a multitude of local sustainable energy sources and make a crucial contribution to the transition of energy systems.

This solution could not only help transform data centres from high energy consumers to valuable sources of sustainable energy it could also help balance the electricity grid via sector integration.

District energy networks and associated low-carbon technologies have a proven track record in decarbonising the energy mix through the invariance of the heat source, and such systems are recognised as one of the most cost-efficient ways to fulfil climate goals. They also have the potential for phased decarbonisation as new technologies can be added to the system with minimal disruption to individual households. Furthermore, they offer benefits such as thermal storage which can be used to reduce energy demand at the grid at peak times.

This new version of the Code provides guidance for the design (including feasibility studies), installation and, critically, the ongoing performance monitoring of district heating systems. It also includes recommendations on load diversity and an updated section on heat interface units to help address the increasing problem of oversizing. In addition, CIBSE has strengthened the section on insulation levels for primary network piping. The requirements around water quality have also been expanded to help ensure the long-term life of the network.

At Danfoss, we believe CP1 2020 goes a long way to addressing some of the so-called pain points for implementing district energy from the perspective of key stakeholders, from design consultants and engineers to network operators and end-user clients. By providing clear guidance and useful tools it aims to support the industry in the delivery of more high-quality district energy projects across the UK, whilst also driving the development of innovative solutions by technology providers to meet the Code’s recommendations.

Innovative solutions

The development of end-to-end solutions for district energy systems, for example, can optimise heat transfer and system control from the energy source at one end of the network right through to end-user level. These can include variable speed drives for efficient pump control, bespoke building connections featuring advanced heat exchangers, an extensive range of control components, and ultrasonic energy meters for accurate billing of energy consumption and system diagnostics. >>

HEATING DISTRICT ENERGY

Also, as highlighted in CIBSE’s updated Code of Practice, appropriate monitoring and reporting of the whole heat network will be key to optimising network efficiency.

Intelligent systems that utilise advanced AI technology are already available for this purpose and can help operators achieve cost-effective predictive maintenance, improved reliability, increased uptime, and a longer system lifetime.

Data from this type of system can also be combined with data collected from Internet of Things sensors located in, say, individual apartments or offices within a building.

The collated data can then be used by operators to control and optimise the heat network in direct response to factors such as the weather, ventilation, and occupants’ behaviour. Unlocking the potential of connectivity and ‘big data’ in this way makes it possible for utilities and service providers to effectively meet growing demands for energy efficiency while improving business operations and costs.

The future for district energy

Whilst there are still challenges to overcome, district energy clearly has the potential to contribute significantly to the essential decarbonisation of the UK’s heating and cooling supply. It allows utilisation of a range of renewable energy sources, including through heat recovery from industry and commerce and, in combination with heat storage, opens up the possibility of greater integration of fluctuating power sources such as wind and solar.

At Danfoss, we believe that increasing implementation of district energy in the UK will require a fully integrated approach that considers the energy system together with the buildings that need to be supplied. It must also explore (and find ways to utilise) all available sustainable energy sources and aim to connect heating, cooling and electricity supplies.

We believe it will also require the support of ambitious policies

by Government, regulators and associated stakeholders to drive the development of innovative technologies and the take-up of new energy networks that not only deliver sustainable energy but are also economically viable for operators. Proper funding for much-needed modernisation of millions of existing fossil-fuel heating systems in UK homes and buildings will also be needed to improve efficiency and, where possible, make them ‘heat network ready’ – only then can we really fast-track our journey to a sustainable energy system. n

HEATING PRESSURISATION UNITS

Future -proofing our HVAC products Rob Clemson, Technical Director of Aalberts Hydronic Flow Control UK, shares his views from 18 years in the industry on the history and future of pressurisation units and how they can evolve to meet the needs of future buildings.

A

pressurisation unit is perceived to be there monitor potential leakage problems and to respond to this issue by topping up water.

However, pressurisation, as a topic, is not just the top-up equipment. It also includes expansion vessels and the whole gamut around pressure maintenance.

They are the last line of defence for a sealed system.

Over time the units have been updated, but the basics have always remained the same. A decade ago, the units were much more reactive and just featured an on and off switch, but latterly they have evolved to be more proactive, being able to see and report repeated leakage, if this occurs, and monitor the system’s health.

So how can we future-proof the units to ensure they can meet the challenges of the megatrends we see developing, now and in the future?

The pandemic was undoubtedly one of these trends, and as engineers were not travelling during this time, remote access to systems was vital.

With the impact of the pandemic still upon us, remote working remains at the forefront of our minds, not only to reduce travel and inter-personal contact but also to reduce carbon footprints.

Because of this, we must help make our customers’ lives easier and more efficient by creating cloudmonitored products.

“

With the impact of the pandemic still upon us, remote working remains at the forefront of our minds, not only to reduce travel and inter-personal contact but also to reduce carbon footprints. .

Buildings and their infrastructure are becoming increasingly independent, moving away from physical attendance when they can be managed just as accurately and efficiently from offices or locations in and around the UK.

”

We are making buildings more and more remotelyaccessible to engineers by creating cloud-connected products for our systems. This development doesn’t only apply to products in the HVAC sector. Many companies are introducing cloud services, which has undoubtedly helped manufacturers gain more accessibility to their installed product base nationally and internationally.

Predictive maintenance is crucial for effective and efficient building operation. When you know what is happening within the system, the attending engineer is much better prepared to correct a fault when they arrive, in contrast to finding a fault, then ordering the necessary parts and having to wait or return another day.

Sustainability has now become vital in manufacturing, and we hear a lot about carbon neutrality. For example, the new head office of Aalberts Hydronic Flow Control (Flamco and >>

Our team flagged this up to the client as they were unaware of the leak. The remote monitoring identified the problem before an engineer physically found the fault on site. It gave the client peace of mind that the unit quickly showed them how the system was operating. The time taken to advise and rectify was much faster than when we were constrained by travel time before discovering the source of the leak and repairing or replacing a part.

Another valuable feature of remote monitoring is that we can check the energy used from the unit and ensure the system remains efficient. Given energy costs today, this is paramount when a system is installed.

So how can we improve now on a pressurisation unit? Of course, legionella protection is paramount, and if there was some form of automatic draining of the unit, this could prevent the bacteria from lying in the break tank.

However, some thought needs to be given to this idea and carefully weighed up, given the increasing importance of water conservation. We are working on this as an area of opportunity and aim to bring a development to the market in due course.

Comap) is one of the most sustainable office buildings in the Netherlands. It has received the BREEAM Outstanding design certificate for the building at Fort Blauwkapel in Almere.

With an exceptionally high score, the building is in the Netherlands’ top ten BREEAM-certified office buildings.

Most manufacturers are now examining their packaging and transportation to customers to ensure they are doing their best to lower carbon emissions. It is vital now that this logic is continued throughout the company’s processes until the end user receives the products.

Usually, at a bare minimum, a trained engineer should maintain all systems annually. However, it is now possible to help an engineer maintain and commission a system using a remote access service, saving time in travelling and cost to the environment. Using a video link is now an established practice and works well when maintenance is required, or the engineer finds a fault. Engineers can also check the system regularly via remote access; if there is an issue, it can be repaired accurately and efficiently.

Systems including a pressurisation unit can be retrofitted to include remote access, and this was a constant request given the constraints during the pandemic. Now, with more people working from home, these remote maintenance checks are becoming more common.

One case study demonstrates how important it is to have remote access to a system. During the pandemic, Aalberts was informed of an issue at an industrial site in Ireland.

Rather than taking time to travel (which at the time we were not allowed to do), we checked our remote gateway, which was attached to our spill and fill units in the plant room.

It became apparent that a site was losing thousands of litres of water daily.

HEATING CORROSION

Get to know your AYCR Gordon Pringle, Managing Director of HASL, highlights why understanding average yearly corrosion rates matters and how it helped one client make the right specification choices.

Durable, proven over many years and more cost-effective than stainless steel and copper (subject to copper prices), carbon steel offers a viable solution for closed water systems if monitored and protected properly.

K

In addition, the press-fit system is quicker to install than traditional jointing methods because it requires no hot works, no soldering, and no threading.

It is designed so that any connections not pressed during installation can be visibly detected during testing as it would purposefully leak. The pressing indicator consists of a thin plastic foil encasing the pressing shoulder, which gives a visible indication of a pressed joint when the foil is removed during the pressing operation. londyke Garden Centre in Polmont, Falkirk, reopened its doors in 2021 after a major refurbishment which included a large extension, additional retail space and a new 300-seater restaurant with separate coffee bar.

The owners were keen to include an environmentally friendly and reliable heating system in this multi-million-pound refurbishment. This included avoiding the use of chemical inhibitors for the new heating system.

Inhibitors are generally used to prevent rust and internal corrosion from occurring inside heating systems but are damaging to the environment. So, the project M&E contractors VWG Mechanical helped the client achieve their environmental aims by opting for untreated water protected by innovative corrosion monitoring technology focused on average yearly corrosion rates (AYCR) to achieve a long-lasting, reliable, and efficient system.

HASL was recently asked about the initial passivation of steel in the initial fill process. We believe that, provided minimum over pressure above 0.3 bar at the head of the system is achieved and permanently maintained in the system hot or cold in accordance with EN12828, then the rate is proportional to the amount of ferrous material available to consume the dissolved oxygen or remediation process adopted.

A micrometer (µm) also known as a micron is 1x10-6 meters = 1 millionth of a meter= 1000th of a millimeter. The Risycor sends an alarm when an annualised corrosion rate of 24µm/year occurs, which our algorithm creates every 7 hours. Approximately 50 µm is the average thickness of a human hair and the same as the Risycor probe. Aluminium foil is about 25 microns thick and commercial steel radiators are traditionally 1.6mm (1600µm) thick. >>

VWG Mechanical designed a system which is both automatically vacuum degassed and pressurised, taking advantage of soft local water to minimise oxygen content and corrosion build up. This made the specification of precision carbon steel pipework (Mapress press-fit from Geberit) the ideal solution.

HEATING CORROSION

The new heating system with monitoring provides Klondyke with an environmentally-friendly and reliable heating system. As a client, they can be safe in the knowledge that manufacturers and contractor have worked together to complete an effective solution to overcome the corrosion challenge. Early monitored evidence from the project demonstrates the success of the installation.

The carbon steel used on this project is 1.2mm (1200µm) thick and the initial fill passivation we noted earlier, on a well-designed system may average around 0.005mm (5µm) per year. This may not remain constant (uniform corrosion) depending upon numerous factors but suffice it to say if AYCR isn’t measured, then it will never be possible to improve outcomes.

The updated system also therefore includes the innovative Risycor electronic coupon method (ECM) for monitoring of corrosion (the AYCR) and pressure for ongoing protection.

When maintained with minimal system water loss and vacuum degassed make up, it is expected to have an average yearly corrosion rate (AYCR) below 7µm/y lasting for at least 25 years.

System hydraulics and water loss play such an important factor in operational activity and the Risycor logs these events and their impact on corrosion rates regardless of if inhibitors are present or not.

Chris Dooling, managing director of VWG Mechanical, says: “We’re aware of recent negative press surrounding carbon steel yet we’ve never lost confidence in the material or doubted its reliability.

We chose Geberit Mapress carbon steel along with electronic coupon method (ECM) monitoring for this project because of the cost benefits, as well as the technical expertise and support provided by Geberit and HASL. It has enabled us to proactively respond to any maintenance requirements, ensuring smooth operation and longevity of the system.”

By adopting correct installation and mechanical procedures alongside cost-effective monitoring to alert those responsible when things go awry, they can respond in a timely way to provide proactive maintenance as and when required. This is condition-based maintenance as it should be.

The importance of understanding AYCR figures is becoming more widely recognised. Recently a head of asset management for a global FM business commented: “I like the metric (AYCR). More accurately understanding the rate of degradation to inform life cycle planning and maintenance interventions would be really beneficial.”

Today’s asset management professionals need notification when events occur that require condition-based maintenance and FM will evolve to adopt technologies that help to improve their efficiencies - and lead to improved system performance and better outcomes for all.

Klondyke now knows their ongoing closed system average yearly corrosion rate with alarms to the BMS when settings go awry. Do you know your system’s AYCR? n See BESA Academy: www.thebesa.com/academy/online-courses

PCXI output

The corrosion coupon at the end of the probe is very thin but it is important to note that it is not so much the loss of material but the rate of material mass loss which is a crucial factor.

Which is why measuring and monitoring the average yearly corrosion rate is vital to keep the system optimized.

The new HUDEVAD PLAN radiator, Type 33

w w w. h u d e v a d . c o m

HEATING RADIATORS

Radiators with renewable heating Kevin Pearson, Specification Manager UK for Hudevad Radiator Design explains the importance of sizing radiators to work with the latest low-carbon technologies.

I

n an ever-changing world and with increasing focus on the environment, the UK government has set its target on reducing CO2 emissions every year going forward to 2050. It cannot be denied that gas, oil and solid fuel boilers in private homes contribute a significant number of emissions, and even though over the years we have made boilers more efficient in using fossil fuels, we need to go further.

We are entering the world of renewable energy with the increase of air, ground, solar and hybrid heating systems along with hydrogen boilers. However, these so-called “low temperature systems” can give problems when using traditional hydronic radiators.

However, it is possible to future-proof the system by considering a few important points: using the correct heat loss calculations; and selecting the right types and sizes of radiators to do the job.

The difference between boilers and air source heat pumps

Getting the best performance from an air source heat pump (ASHP) requires a different approach to operating a traditional boiler system. Often, boiler users operate their heating by waiting until the space temperature drops below a certain point, then blasting the heating until it’s warm again.

Air source heat pumps take a slower but steadier approach.

Because it takes a little while to heat up the space, and then operates at a lower temperature, it’s best to keep the heat pump on for longer periods of time. That means, instead of allowing the temperature to fluctuate by some extremes, as with a traditional boiler, it is better to maintain a steady comfortable temperature all day long.

This becomes a challenge when replacing old for new technologies. Let’s have a look at one of the main issues of replacing a fossil fuel boiler with air or ground source heat pump.

Flow and return temperatures

Currently, when installing a gas boiler, we use a standard format to calculate the heating required for each room based on the EN442 standard water temperature set of 75°C flow and 65°C return and an ambient room air temperature of 20°C (expressed as 75/65/20) which gives a ∆t 50°C. >>

HEATING RADIATORS

With the introduction of the New Part L Building Regulations from the 15th June 2022, the maximum flow temperature for new replacement heating system should not exceed 55°C. Apart from the building’s fabric (insulation levels, glazing, airtightness etc.) selecting and sizing the radiators is therefore the next most important job.

The difference between older, higher temperatures and the newer, lower ones can have a significant impact on the heat output from your radiators. Here is an example using the EN442 standard to meet a rooms heating requirement compared to a renewable heat source.

Let’s say a bedroom requires 900W and the temperature set is 75/65/20 (∆t 50°C). This would require a radiator 600mm high x 1000mm long, single convector.

If we change to an air source heat pump, the parameters change. The BS EN 14511 specifies a flow and return temperature of 45°C and 40°C respectively on-air source heat pumps at test conditions of 7°C outdoor temperature.

Assuming the same ambient room temperature as before of 20°C, the air source heat pump operates on a much lower temperature of a ∆t of 22.5°C. Assuming no other changes, the output requirements for the room remains constant and requires 900W, but the radiator - 600 high 1000mm long, single convector - previously selected, will only achieve 330W at the new temperature set (45/40/20, ∆t 22.5°C). This is a drop in output of over 50%. In this case, a larger radiator must be used to reach the same target output.

While heat pump manufacturers have continuously been able to increase the temperatures their units can produce, this can come at a cost to the efficiency of the unit.

Therefore, it is advisable to use the applicable standards.

Designed to perform

To satisfy heat requirements at ever-lower flow and return temperature and get the most possible amount of heat output, Hudevad Radiator Design, along with other radiator manufactures, have continued to improve the efficiency of their emitters. This has been achieved, for example, by reducing water content, increasing surface area, increasing the depth or number of panels and the design of the convector fins. An installer can select various types of panels from Type 10 (single panel, no convectors) up to a Type 33 (triple panel, triple convector).

If we use the earlier example, it is important that the installer, when replacing old technology, also considers replacing the existing radiators to maintain the ideal room temperature and client’s comfort. To achieve 900W @ 45/40/20 (∆t 22.5°C), a 600mm high 1200mm long, type 33 (triple panel, triple convector) would meet the requirement without overextending the length.

Not all radiators are created equal

While most radiators will work with heat pumps, some work better than others. For example, modern panel radiators, with their low water content and large surface area, heat up quicker than traditional cast iron radiators. This means they respond quicker to change in the environment, allowing the system to operate more efficiently and avoiding potentially wasted energy.

HEATING RADIATORS

“

The size – height and length – as well as the depth, are the most important factors when selecting radiators with renewable heating.

”

However, radiators which are designed for the most amount of convection heat (as opposed to radiant heat) perform better at low water temperatures. That is why over the past 30 years, radiator manufacturers have developed ranges designed to work with low temperature hydronic heating systems. From low convectors to flat fronted horizontal and vertical radiators - all are designed to operate efficiently and consistently.

Another way to maximise heat output with low water temperatures is by using vertical radiators. With a high vertical radiator, the “chimney effect”, i.e. natural convection, can be maximised, providing impressive outputs at low water temperatures while using the least amount of wall space.

A key point to keep in mind is that the size of your radiators will impact how well they heat your home. As a rule of thumb, the bigger your radiators, the better job they’ll do. But size is not the only consideration.

In short

How to select the right radiator with renewable heating Radiators are a familiar product throughout the home and workplace. They are reliable and easy to use since users can simply adjust temperatures by using radiator or wall mounted room thermostats. Therefore, it is an advantage to use a reliable and proven technology when switching to lower temperature heat sources.

The size – height and length – as well as the depth, are the most important factors when selecting radiators with renewable heating. With the large surface area of modern radiators, heat output is maximised.

But heat output is not everything – customers also want it to look good! Few people would choose an enormous, bulky radiator over a smaller, neater one if they had the choice.

By selecting the right design of radiators, with a smooth flat front, enclosed sides, and discreet profiled top a type 33 will look less intrusive in the room.

It is vitally important when moving to new technology to look at the full system including the existing heat emitters.

Aside from the critically important factors of the building’s fabric - insulation levels, glazing and airtightness and so on. Simply replacing an old boiler with an air source heat pump without considering the heat emitters will create poor results and dissatisfied clients.

Best practice is therefore to future-proof the installation or replacement of radiators by using the right heat loss calculations and selecting the right types and sizes of radiators to do the job. n

HEAT PUMPS ACHIEVING NET ZERO

The role of heat pumps in achieving net zero Kevin Potter, National Sales Manager, Hamworthy Heating highlights the importance of heat pump technology in helping the UK achieve its 2050 net zero goal.

T

he UK Government has a net zero goal in place for 2050, which requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining being balanced out by removing an equivalent amount. Many impacts of climate change are already being detected: leading scientists have stated that the record 40°C temperatures in the UK in July 2022 would have been “almost impossible” without human-induced climate change. All sectors of the UK economy therefore must decarbonise if we are to achieve net zero.

With the construction and operation of buildings responsible for around 38% of global carbon emissions1, we have an important role to play in ensuring every aspect of our buildings are examined, and carbon impact reduced. As you would expect, heating and hot water have a significant bearing on overall carbon emissions of a building.

The Heat and Buildings Strategy, launched in October 2021, is the UK Government’s plan to decarbonise virtually all heat in buildings, which is fundamental to the net zero goal. At the heart of this strategy is phasing out the use of fossil fuels to heat buildings by 2035, whilst increasing the application of low carbon products, fuels and energy sources. This date is significant as an interim target has been established for 2035 to reduce emissions in the UK by 78% by compared to 1990 levels.

The uplift of Building Regulations’ ‘Conservation of fuel and power: Approved Document L’, introduced in December 2021 and in force as of June 2022, is the legislative method adopted to ensure new buildings will be fitted with low-carbon heating and high levels of energy efficiency achieved, targeting on average a 27% decrease in CO2 .

So how are we to decarbonise our heating? There has been much talk of hydrogen as our saving grace, but the reality of hydrogen as a fuel source is some way off in the future with one of the major stumbling blocks to its use being the infrastructure to deliver it. Thankfully, we do have a viable alternative that is available in the hear and now: heat pumps.

A heat pump is an appliance that extracts heat energy from the environment and upgrades it to useful heat for central heating and domestic hot water. They are available in air source, ground source, water source and exhaust air formats.

Air source are the most popular as they can be used in the widest range of building types and locations, and work very well with underfloor heating and radiators, as long as they are sized correctly. They can also be integrated with most renewable energy sources such as solar PV. With a compact design, air source heat pump technology is one of the most versatile and cost-effective low carbon appliances on the market.

An air source heat pump extracts heat energy from the external air – even when temperatures are as low as -20°C - and upgrades it to useful heat for central heating and hot water. Two types of air source heat pumps exist: monobloc and split systems.

A monobloc system has all the components in a single outdoor unit, with pipes carrying water to the central heating system and a hot water cylinder inside the building. A split system separates the components between indoor and outdoor units.

A monobloc heat pump system has several advantages, the main one being that all of the refrigerant components are contained within the outdoor unit, meaning the central heating system and the DHW coil are directly connected to the external fan unit.

No F-Gas qualification is required to install a monobloc. However, due to the larger >>

HEAT PUMPS ACHIEVING NET ZERO

size of a monobloc unit it is normally ground mounted and, to minimise the higher heat losses, the fan unit ideally needs be located as close to the property as possible for maximum efficiency.

Hamworthy’s new Tyneham range of air source heat pumps are based on a monobloc design and provide one of the best seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) ratings on the market. SCOP is the average ratio of heat produced, relative to each unit of electricity consumed in the heat pump, over one year.

Tyneham heat pumps also benefit from the use of R32 refrigerant, which has a reduced GWP (global warming potential) compared to some alternative refrigerants.

“

With hydrogen fuelled heating systems not a practical solution at this time, heat pumps are a fundamentally important decarbonisation solution, and play an important role in our drive to net zero.

According to the Carbon Trust, heat pumps used for heating can offer carbon emission savings of around 30% when compared to conventional natural gas boilers. When heat pumps are partnered with a renewable electricity supplier, heat generation is 100% carbon neutral.

Heat pumps also enable significant savings to be made on running costs when compared to alternative fuel solutions, as well as protecting building owners against fluctuations in energy costs. Whilst the capital outlay of buying and installing a heat pump are considerably higher than traditional boiler systems, incentives are available to reduce these.

All of this is very positive news, but heat pumps will only impact net zero if we install enough of them and if the system is designed and installed correctly. The Committee on Climate Change has said that to meet the commitment to reach net-zero by 2050, 19 million heat pumps will need to be installed and that hybrid heat pumps should be widely used by 2035. The Government has a commitment to install 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028, but UK charity Nesta, which describes itself as ‘an innovation agency for social good’, claims we are well off this mark.

With a compact design, air source heat pump technology is one of the most versatile and cost-effective low carbon appliances on the market.

Despite a slow start, uptake of heat pumps is increasing, especially in the commercial sector. However, what’s not increasing is the number of trained heat pump engineers. Nesta believes there are around 3,000 trained heat pump engineers in the UK, each fitting between 20 - 25 heat pumps per year. But to meet the goal of 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028, a further 27,000 installers will be required! It is calling for government support to finance training in this sector, deliver a clear route to become a heat pump engineer and demonstrate commitment to this sector.

”

Decarbonisation of the UK economy is essential if we are to stand any hope of achieving net zero by 2050 and keep temperature rises below 1.5°C to avoid the very worst impacts of climate change. Even with this target we are set to see ongoing heatwaves, fires and droughts in coming years.

We don’t have a magic wand to achieve this, but we do have a number of practical solutions at hand, heat pumps being one that is readily available. By moving away from fossil fuels and switching to renewable fuel powered systems such as heat pumps, we can make a difference; we must make a difference. n

Continuous protection and optimisation for heat pumps Ed Morris, Technical Manager at Altecnic, explores how components and controls can, if installed correctly, help protect and optimise heat pumps.

G

overnment is targeting a reduction in carbon emissions from heating by 95% over the next 30 years. With around 77% of total household carbon emissions coming from domestic heating and hot water, the focus is on providing and maintaining efficient solutions for homeowners.

The most popular of these solutions is for UK homes to reduce their dependence on fossil fuel heating, and switch to systems which tap into the UK’s increasingly low carbon electricity grid with the installation of heat pump systems.

Heat pumps are more efficient than other types of heating systems and can reduce electricity usage by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces and baseboard heaters*.

To keep Government targets realistic, it is important for homeowners to see the value in using controls on their heat pump-led systems to optimise the installation, as well as other components to ensure the protection of the heat pump.

In addition, heat pumps can be a costly investment that need to be protected and as such careful consideration should be used when selecting components to optimise and protect each part of the system. So, what can be done to protect and maintain the efficiency of these systems?

Anti-freeze valves

Anti-freeze valves are a cost-effective solution to protect heat pump installations from freezing, which is a common problem during the winter.

If heat pump installations are to be the future of heating, it is important that they are protected and maintained to ensure that homeowners can reap the benefits of them.

An anti-freeze valve is designed to be installed in the flow and return pipework from the heat pump and installed on the external pipework.

By opening at temperatures below 3oC, an anti-freeze valve allows system content to be dripped and discharged safely, preventing the system from freezing and protecting the installation.

At temperatures above 4oC, the valve then shuts again to stop unnecessary draining. Overall, it does exactly as it implies - prevents the freezing of heat pumps and pipework. With the valve designed specifically for heat pump installation, it is compact and easy to install.

Even for installations in areas that are especially exposed those that are usually hit hardest by freezing - an anti-freeze valve can continue to function efficiently. The anti-freeze

HEAT PUMPS EFFICIENCY

valve becomes especially useful in the coldest months as it helps to save thousands of pounds in having to replace frozen installations by maintaining the heat pump and pipework.

Protection and optimisation

When the heat pump installation is protected, it can then be optimised to work as efficiently as possible. The efficiency within the system relies on the ‘start-up’ period of the heating cycle being correctly balanced, thus preventing it pulling an excessive amount of energy. If a heat pump installation were to draw a large amount of energy, then the end user is likely to experience a negative impact on the operation of the entire system.

Any system that has a heat pump as its energy source would benefit from installing an automatic dynamic balancing valve. Installers can optimise their heat pump system design by accurately managing the flow rates throughout the heating circuit using a flow-settable, pressure independent, thermostatic radiator valve (TRV). This ensures each part of the system receives the correct amount of energy independently, thus increasing the working life of the compressor within the heat pump.

Continued maintenance

As with any heating system, a heat pump cannot simply rely on controls and components to prevent any issues. Ensuring that the quality of the heat pump is maintained, and the designed operation is consistent, relies on regular checks through continued maintenance.

For different heat pump providers, these checks may need to regularly take place to ensure warranty is maintained, with time intervals specific to the unit. However, general checks should consist of a visual inspection of the following: • • • •

Water pump External pipes Fittings Electronics

“

Any system that has a heat pump as its energy source would benefit from installing an automatic dynamic balancing valve.

For ground-source heat pumps it is important for homeowners to schedule maintenance and servicing of the antifreeze valve and re-pressurisation of the system every two to three years to prevent any potential harm to the system.

”

Getting the most out of your heat pump installation

The installation of an anti-freeze valve and the installation of an automatic balancing TRV protects the end user’s investment and the installers hard work.

In addition, any hydronic circuit serving a secondary system must be balanced, meaning that they must be constructed in such a way to guarantee the design flow rates of the thermal medium. Due to this, specific balancing devices are required depending on the varying system types and appliances used.

Automatic dynamic balancing

Automatic dynamic balancing and pressure-independent adjustment of the heating system is vital for optimisation of a heat pump installation. A TRV with this ability, in conjunction with a thermostatic, electronic, or thermoelectric control, combines different functions in a single component.

An automatic dynamic balancing TRV can balance the heating system automatically, ensuring each terminal receives the set flow rate. Even in the case of partial circuit closure, by means of the regulating valves, the flow rates in the open circuits remain constant at the set value - a vital feature for systems powered by heat pumps.

By using this type of TRV, in combination with thermostatic control heads, the surrounding temperature can remain automatically constant, thus guaranteeing effective energy saving.

Altecnic offers both components and we consider them crucial to ensure installers and end-users get the most of out heat pump installations. It is important for homeowners to know the benefits of these to protect and optimise their heat pump system - when used alongside regular general maintenance. For homeowners to make the costly £7,000 to £19000 investment of installing a heat pump, they must also be able to protect and optimise this installation in the future and should be advised to utilise the controls and components discussed.

Given the installation costs of renewable technologies compared to standard gas or oil installations, the benefits of a relatively small outlay to protect this investment are clear. n *www.energy.gov/energysaver/heat-pump-systems

FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE

Compliance under fire Gary Nicholls, Managing Director of Swiftclean, explains the duties of the Responsible Person and what we should be doing to ensure compliance with TR19.

D

espite it being more than five years since annual fire damper testing became compulsory, two years since TR19 Grease® and TR19® were separated into separate documents, and despite three updates to BESA’s own VH001 Fire and Smoke Damper Maintenance document, there are still a significant number of ventilation and extract systems that appear never to have been compliant.

Many more building managers are becoming aware that to run a safe and healthy building, there are several ventilation fire safety compliance issues to address. Firstly, a ventilation system should be clean and hygienic to ensure that the air that it circulates around the building is clean and not polluted.

It should also be remembered that ventilation ductwork can act as a chimney for the spread of fire, so in many cases barriers in the form of fire dampers have been installed to halt or delay a fire, and these items need regular testing and maintenance. Added to these considerations, a kitchen extract system requires slightly different treatment, as it does not (or should not) have fire dampers. Its main defence against fire is the complete removal of fat, oil and grease (FOG) deposits through TR19 Grease® compliant maintenance and cleaning.

Building managers therefore have something of a multifaceted approach to fire safety in relation to ductwork. Under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, there is a legal requirement for a Responsible Person to be appointed for every commercial, public or local authority housing property, and this is very often the building manager. In some cases, this will be the owner or proprietor, but in many more it will be the facilities manager.

It is the duty of the Responsible Person to ensure that the building complies with the various fire regulations. These now include BS:9999, which stipulates a requirement for the annual drop testing of fire dampers, and TR19 Grease®, which was created from section 7 of the previous version of TR19, in recognition of the importance, particularly in terms of fire safety, of the appropriately regular cleaning and removal of grease deposits from the entire kitchen extract system, including ductwork, plenum, hood, canopy and extract fan. >>

“

Ventilation ductwork can act as a chimney for the spread of fire, so in many cases barriers in the form of fire dampers have been installed to halt or delay a fire, and these items need regular testing and maintenance.

FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE

You should also use an expert for fire damper testing. The need for fire dampers arises at any point at which ventilation ductwork is routed through an internal fire-resistant wall. Potential openings through fire rated walls present an opportunity for fire to travel to other parts of the building, so it is essential that openings can be sealed in the event of fire by installing fire dampers.

These comprise a set of steel louvres or shutters which are normally set to an open position to allow airflow through the ventilation system, but which will close automatically should a fire occur.

A closed fire damper provides a barrier to delay or arrest the spread of smoke and flames, which can easily spread a fire to other parts of the property, or even to neighbouring properties.

“

Failure to ensure compliance can carry very heavy penalties, especially in the event of a fire which causes injury or fatality.

A Responsible Person can face prosecution and, if found guilty of negligence, can find themselves facing a custodial sentence.

It is important, therefore, to tackle the annual testing and ongoing maintenance of fire dampers within the ventilation systems. This is covered by BS:9999. BESA also recognised the importance of fire damper maintenance in the VH001 Fire and Smoke Damper Maintenance document, issued as version 2 in March 2021, which is aimed at raising awareness of the importance of annual fire damper testing as required by law.

The third revised version of VH001 is also soon to be published.

The intervals at which kitchen extract fire safety cleaning should be carried out will vary according to the usage of the system and therefore the rate of grease accumulation, but guidance is very clearly laid out in tables in the TR19 Grease® specification.

In 2017, the revision to BS:9999 made drop testing of fire dampers an annual requirement, to ensure that they will work properly if needed. This is regardless of their type and construction. Prior to this, frequency of testing depended >>

This documentation can form invaluable evidence of your best efforts to comply, especially if there is an investigation following a fire. Post-clean certification may also form essential evidence for your buildings insurance provider, most of whom now expect compliance, and will refuse to pay out on a fire in a non-compliant system.

FIRE SAFETY COMPLIANCE

Life is often difficult for the facilities manager, who, we have often found, has been left with incomplete or missing records or plans of where the property’s fire dampers are located, let alone their make and date of installation. Locating, identifying and gaining sufficient access to perform testing is often the first step to compliance.

In the industry, we have seen efforts to reduce the additional cost of fire damper testing by testing a proportion of fire dampers every few years, so that eventually, they will all be tested every few years. This should no longer be a practice, as the legal requirement is very clear. Five years on from the introduction of compulsory annual testing, fire damper testing should be being built into budgets for facilities management contracts as a routine fire safety item.

Access is also a problem for many ventilation and kitchen extract systems.

Unfortunately, the construction standards to which new systems are built, DW144 and DW172, do not include the full remit of access points which are required to achieve ongoing TR19® or TR19 Grease® compliance. This can still mean, that at its very first clean, a newly constructed system may need to be retrofitted with additional access hatches, which is more costly than fitting them during construction.

on the model of fire damper, but since 2017 it has been a requirement to drop test every type of fire dampers at intervals of no more than twelve months.

Drop testing is so called because the test ascertains whether the louvres will drop into place to create a closed barrier, in the event of a fire. Fire dampers can be controlled by heat sensors, operated by a manual switch, or linked to the building management system, depending on the type of system installed.

At a BESA online seminar in 2021, several industry leaders together concluded that as few as 1% of UK buildings may be fully compliant on fire damper testing, some 25% of them having sections of ductwork that are not accessible.

Incorrectly-installed fire dampers also remain a problem, especially in properties whose fire dampers have never been tested. It is not uncommon for fire dampers to be installed in the wrong location, or even upside down, so that the first step is often to reinstall them correctly.

A vital lesson should be learned for the future. Most potential access problems would be solved if we designed and installed ventilation systems with TR19®, TR19 Grease®, VH001 and BS:9999 compliance in mind from the outset. In some buildings, fixed ceilings, walls or even staircases have been fitted after the ventilation system was completed, but before the first clean, and there are sections that will remain non-compliant without extensive, and very expensive remodelling.

This simply should not happen, as access should be preserved. It makes commercial sense, as well as plain common sense to provide for ongoing compliance, beginning right from the initial design stage. n

The fire and smoke damper naming problem Carl Knowler, Fire and Smoke Product Manager at Lindab, discusses the confusion over the terminology used to describe fire and smoke dampers.

O

ver the years, the UK has adopted unique terminology in relation to fire and smoke dampers. The names of the different types of damper lead to assumptions about the functionality of the products and hence the protection they provide.

The term Fire Damper is usually synonymous with the spring-loaded curtain bladed damper. A single-bladed damper which offers protection against fire and the passage of smoke is typically called a Fire/Smoke Damper in the UK. The term Smoke Damper, on the other hand, is often used to refer to a device used in conjunction with a smoke control duct for preventing, diverting, or permitting the passage of hot smoke as part of the building fire strategy.

The use of the word Smoke in Fire/Smoke Damper causes confusion. A Fire Damper is designed to close in event of a fire to prevent the passage of fire and smoke from one compartment to another.

A Smoke Control Damper however is designed to direct smoke in the event of a fire to ensure evacuation routes are kept clear. They both have important but different jobs. It’s

150

| The BESA Book 2023

not unusual for people to incorrectly assume a Fire/Smoke Damper does both jobs and that a Fire Damper will be sufficient in most cases when a Fire/Smoke Damper should really be used.

The confusion over these terms can result in a simple curtain-bladed Fire Damper being supplied and installed whenever a Fire/Smoke Damper is called for. We need to stop and ask what a Fire Damper really does and whether the damper we select will do what we need it to do to prevent the spread of fire and protect lives.

Designers have a duty of care to make the best selections available to reduce risk in fire scenarios. It would therefore make sense to adopt a damper which provides good performance across all relevant characteristics. To safeguard professionals and provide peace of mind for building owners, a declaration of performance is required for all Fire Dampers.

The declaration outlines performance to the EN Classification Standard BS EN 13501-3 which applies to Fire Dampers including Fire/Smoke Dampers and provides a method of indicating performance to test standard BS EN 1366-2 with regards to specific characteristics.

FIRE SAFETY SMOKE DAMPER

• • • • •

BS EN 13501-3 classification format

A properly installed Fire/Smoke Damper classified to EI 120 (ve i↔o) S, for example, will provide 120 minutes of protection against the spread of fire and smoke through a duct regardless of which side of the damper the fire originated.

The insulation classification ‘I’ is the ability of the damper to withstand fire exposure without the transmission of fire as a result of significant transfer of heat. This characteristic guarantees that for the time indicated, in this example 120 minutes, the temperature on the non-fire side of the damper is maintained below 140°C average and 180°C maximum as specified in the EN 1366-2 test standard requirements.

This applies to not only the damper itself but also material in proximity including the wall and the duct to which the damper is connected. These values are defined as being sufficiently below the self-ignition temperature of the most common materials and substances, to prevent combustion.

It is vital to remember that the fire resistance class of the damper - that is the type of compartmentation and the time for which the compartmentation is guaranteed - does not refer only to the damper, but to the system consisting of the wall, the Fire Damper itself and must take into account the method with which the Fire Damper is installed in the wall, which is often overlooked.

Ventilation ducts typically run through tight spaces, which means that they commonly come into contact with electrical cables, thermal insulation, sound-absorbing panels, and various other materials. It is a worrying reality that few people know or adopt the application of an ‘I’ rated Fire Damper in the UK.

“

We need to stop and ask what a fire damper really does and whether the damper we select will do what we need it to do to prevent the spread of fire and protect lives.

”

Even the simple build-up of dust that inevitably settles is flammable. Without an insulated blade damper, when the temperature reaches or exceeds the self-ignition level of these materials, they ignite creating an ‘indirect passage’ of fire through the partition wall despite the presence of a damper.

In the event of a fire, the fire itself is not the only threat to life.

Smoke and other products of combustion can spread quickly through ventilation ducts. The ‘S’ characteristic of a Fire Damper refers to the ability of the damper to resist the passage of gases or smoke when tested to the minimum of 300 PA (or higher where available).

Choosing to install a damper with an ‘S’ rating, often referred to as a Fire/Smoke Damper, ensures the spread of smoke is inhibited, providing precious minutes to aid escape. >>

FIRE SAFETY SMOKE DAMPER

A fire in a building without smoke compartmentation

Many variants of this type of damper exist from the simplest mechanical spring actuated/ manual reset damper through to fully motorised IP addressable units.

When we consider that the purpose of a Fire Damper is to prevent the passage of fire from one compartment to another to save lives. Then surely there is only one conclusion that everyone involved in the selection of passive fire protection equipment should make.

A Fire Damper is required to, not only provide mechanical integrity in a fire situation but also to provide thermal insulation preventing heat transfer and indirect fire transfer, and additionally to prevent the passage of smoke.

A less critical performance characteristic of a Fire Damper is its ability to remain airtight in normal use as part of the ventilation system. The major areas of energy consumption in buildings are heating, cooling and ventilation. An airtight ventilation system is key to minimising energy consumption, an important consideration for sustainable building but as energy prices continue to rise, can also have a significant impact on the ongoing costs of running the building.

Fire Dampers offering EI (i↔o) S ratings are now available with airtightness classification C to EN 1751 which means there is no need to compromise fire safety to benefit from ensuring airtightness of the duct during day-to-day operation.

OFFSITE MANUFACTURING SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

Five reasons to switch to prefabricated wire or track Tom Harris, Technical Manager, UK & Ireland at Gripple, explains how switching to pre-fabricated wire or track MEP suspension systems can save you a lot of hassle on your next construction project.

T

he UK construction industry continues to be challenged with finding new ways to speed up build programmes while operating within strict safety standards. By carefully considering which products you choose for the suspension of building services, it is possible to save valuable time on project schedules while increasing safety on-site by choosing a pre-fabricated suspension system to install MEP systems.

In this article, we consider five reasons why the construction industry is starting to replace traditional suspension systems with innovative MEP suspension solutions from UK product manufacturers.

Safety first

the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. On the other hand, larger, bulkier threaded rod and channel systems can add risk to logistics and installation. They need multiple installers and increase the risks of neck and muscular injuries, trips and falls.

Sustainability

In recent times, consultants and contractors have become much more conscious of their emissions, especially as the UK government has set its own goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

Embodied carbon information is becoming a significant requirement within the construction industry and it is increasingly incorporated as a factor into models and families in BIM.

Health and safety regulations remain at the top of the agenda for businesses operating in the UK construction industry. By choosing a pre-fabricated solution that is faster and easier to fit than its traditional alternatives, health and safety can benefit. Pre-fabricated products have the advantage of arriving on-site ready to use, reducing the risk of hand and eye injuries caused by on-site material cutting.

Projects using pre-fabricated systems can make massive embodied carbon savings compared to traditional suspension methods. For example, for every metre of wire rope specified to replace threaded rod, it is estimated that a saving of 1.2 kg of embodied carbon is made. This equates to a total embodied carbon saving of up to 95% when switching from threaded rod to wire rope systems.

In addition, no hot works are necessary, so the need for permits and fire watch services are eliminated. Pre-fabricated systems also require fewer people on-site, with most kits able to be installed by a single contractor, an important factor in

Modern MEP suspension kits are made to the exact job specification, eliminating the mass of waste materials that are prepared, cut and filed to size on-site. Alongside material savings, vehicle movements are also reduced as the pre-engineered products come in fully recyclable, compact cardboard boxes which a courier can deliver instead of the normal HGVs arriving on-site.

In addition, these boxes are easier to store safely and neatly, labelled by floor or by zone, for easy call-off from stores. >>

alternatives arrive on-site in kits formed of either pre-cut lengths of wire rope and a fused end fixing to suit the substrate, or as a track-based system compatible with pre-fabricated brackets.

Traceability

The increasing cost of raw materials and availability of supply from international suppliers continues to cause headaches for procurement and supply chain teams across the construction industry. By sourcing MEP suspension solutions from UK product manufacturers, contractors are beginning to reap the benefits. In comparison to traditional suspension systems, UK manufactured solutions are typically delivered in lightweight packaging, easing handling on-site, as well as reducing deliveries to construction sites. Thousands of tonnes of material weight and embodied carbon can be saved as a result of replacing the more cumbersome traditional method of threaded rod and channel supports which historically have been used by UK mechanical and electrical subcontractors to suspend building services.

As our world becomes increasingly digital, the number of data cables required in new build projects will also inevitably rise.

Therefore, it is increasingly important to pay attention to the regulations around separating electrical and data cables, as specified in the segregation clause of the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, BS EN 7671.

Products are available that simplify the process; segregated brackets hit the market last year as an alternative to threaded rod, channel and separation dividers and are completely adherent to the regulations, keeping data and electrical cables apart up to 300 mm.

The benefits of modern suspension systems are often aligned with the advantages of Building Information Modelling (BIM) through ease of specification. Manufacturers’ technical teams can work directly with contractors, engineers and consultants to design and specify bespoke solutions based on the project’s needs, allowing for the detailed production of bills of materials and benefitting delivery of exact product requirements directly to site.

Speed

Modern MEP suspension systems are faster to prepare and install than typical materials such as threaded rod, channel, nuts, bolts and washers. Instead, these lightweight, pre-fabricated

With no preparation such as cutting, filing or capping required, much of the labour-intensive activity is removed, fewer components are needed, and fewer people are required on-site. For instance, just two tracks and a bracket are needed for a full trapeze bracket instead of fiddly nuts and washers that are used on the rods to straighten the bracket. In addition, the pre-fabricated systems reduce time spent levelling brackets by providing pre-cut level guides on the tracks and make for easy adjustment. Off-site manufacturing is a huge driver in construction, creating leaner working methods, with modern systems removing much of the labour-intensive work traditionally undertaken on-site.

Compliance

MEP suspension products can come in all forms, but when talking about products that hold services in the ceiling, they need to meet high standards. The main exit routes need to remain clear for as long as possible in a fire; not just for occupants to exit the building, but also for Fire and Rescue Services to gain access.

Always check with manufacturers that an independent test facility performs their product fire testing. Manufacturers can claim their products are fire rated when they have only been temperature tested to around 300°C - this is not reflective of a real fire scenario. Fire testing should be done for an acceptable time and against a recognised fire curve that reputable manufacturers will publish. Working closely with installing contractors and Building Control fire strategists to ensure that the correct products are specified to meet the regulations is essential, so choosing the correct manufacturer with third-party verification will save time and money to ensure you are meeting the standard.

In summary, pre-fabricated MEP suspension systems and accessories can help contractors to comply with increased health and safety regulations, meet sustainability targets as well as positively affecting the bottom line of their projects through time and cost savings. Working with the right product manufacturer has never been more important as they can provide you peace of mind that all your bases are covered. n

Change is the only constant Ged Grimes, UK Business Unit Director at Conex Bänninger, discusses the latest technologies in fittings, valves and accessories and highlights the importance of training to keep up to date with changes.

T

he ACR industry has seen a host of changes in recent years, from new and updated legislation and regulations to technological advancements. Furthermore, as the desire to find alternative F-Gas refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) grows, the market finds itself in a unique state of transition.

The ACR industry is evolving rapidly through legislative changes, technological advancements, and the requirement to use F-Gases with lower GWP in everyday applications. It’s vital, therefore, to keep up with these changes and to ensure your team is fully trained in new techniques.

The three areas are linked and driven by critical factors, including the legal requirement to meet new regulations such as the UK Government’s net zero 2050 carbon emission laws, future-proof businesses in a progressive industry and a general desire to utilise more sustainable technologies and practices.

A recent example of these changes is the use of F-gases being phased down by the UK Government. The latest legislation affected the use of HFC 134a with a GWP of more than 150 as a refrigerant, explicitly targeting commercial applications in establishments such as supermarkets and gyms.

However, while legislation like this is already in place, environmentally focused groups and companies are questioning whether F-Gas Regulations go far enough – or if more must be done. A call that is not going unnoticed with the expectation of more legislation to follow, potentially even in the next year or so.

“

The press-fit approach provides a mechanically robust and resilient press-fit system that is quick and simple to use, saving engineers valuable time and money and providing a secure, permanent, leak-free joint.

The changes in legislation towards the use of F-Gases with higher GWPs are intended to sharply decrease the effect they have on our global climate from a carbon emissions perspective and ensure the technologies we use going forward are future-proofed.

They’re also intended to help minimise energy consumption as a whole and lower associated costs surrounding the many applications they’re used in.

”

Evolving technologies

In addition to legislation, the ACR industry continues to see a fast-paced trend of advancements in technologies to help meet the needs of this rapidly developing and evolving market.

For example, air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are a technology that is increasing in popularity due to their greener credentials. The UK Government has recently provided grants allowing the public to install ASHPs at a reduced cost, highlighting the importance of ASHPs to help the UK meet its ambitious carbon reduction targets. >>

PIPEWORK FITTINGS

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fittings, valves and accessories, Conex Bänninger is constantly looking at ways it can add value to the first-class service it provides its customers across the globe.

Training is a crucial part of this service proposition, and the company offers various options that ACR engineers can take advantage of.

For example, our >B< MaxiPro certified training course is a short, step-by-step course designed to fit around an engineer’s working week. Engineers and contractors have the opportunity to learn about the technology and how to use the innovative three-point press fittings.

Alongside the rise of more sustainable products, newer and more innovative solutions are coming to market that offer ACR engineers a real competitive advantage to get to grips with.

For example, the ACR market has historically been dominated by traditional braze fittings. However, in recent years, the industry has been revolutionised with the introduction of press-fit technology. The press-fit approach provides a mechanically robust and resilient press-fit system that is quick and simple to use, saving engineers valuable time and money and providing a secure, permanent, leak-free joint.

Available in sizes 1/4” to 1-3/8”, >B< MaxiPro significantly reduces installation time and costs. The flame-free pressfit solution also has significant health and safety benefits, eliminating the requirement of hot work permits and fire risk whilst removing the need for nitrogen purging.

The simplicity of modern press-fit systems means installations can be carried out by a single ACR engineer using the appropriate press tool and jaws. Once basic preparation is done, it takes a few seconds to complete a joint, thus delivering an economic benefit through greater productivity and lowering overall cost. Unlike brazing, refurbishment projects can be completed during regular working hours without having to deny access to office workers or the public.

There’s still a prominent place in the market for traditional brazing, which is why we, as manufacturers, must provide an extensive product and service offering that meets the needs of our customers.

Developments in our changing sector mean that training is a critical area that many ACR engineers and contractors utilise to keep abreast of the latest industry developments and product advancements, enhance their professional development and give themselves a competitive advantage.

Not only do certified training courses help engineers increase their knowledge and skills, but undertaking relevant courses provided by industry bodies and manufacturers can help increase confidence and competence, particularly with new product innovations coming to market.

PIPEWORK VALVES

Small but with a big impact David Rhodes, Technical Manager at Albion Valves (UK) Ltd, explains why engineers should take a closer look at valves in the search for energy efficiency and net zero wins in new-build and retrofit projects.

A

s energy efficiency and carbon emissions targets for buildings tighten, engineers need to search every nook and cranny of their designs to find potential improvements and energy savings. Hydronic systems are a great place to start, but they’re often overlooked as a source of efficient and net-zero building performance. The use of balancing valves in systems is important to ensure comfort and energy savings in all environments, avoiding problems of oversized systems and significant temperature differences in various environments.

It’s not surprising that the energy-saving glory often falls to more visible elements of HVAC systems such as chiller or fan coil unit performance. Yet the more modest elements of these systems such as valves are not only a cost-effective investment, they also deliver a significant boost to overall system performance.

When it comes to driving towards net zero buildings, valves are a small, but mighty tool for engineers and installers.

Three important performance characteristics of modern valves are: control, accuracy and repeatability. These are vital because today’s efficient building designs include tightlytargeted design flows in the hydronic system to optimise the efficiencies of terminal units such as fan coils, heater batteries or simply the shower and tap outlets.

But valves aren’t simply about hydronic balance. There are several aspects of net zero building design and operation that can be supported by smart valve specification. For example, embodied carbon is rising up the agenda of modern building design, along with increasing interest in the circular economy. Metal valves are an ideal choice for these considerations since they not only have a long lifetime (reducing their carbon footprint), but they are also recyclable.

@BESAGroup

Heat pumps operate at low flow rates, particularly in variable volume LTHW systems. Accuracy of control is needed to maintain system performance and to achieve energy efficiency. Pressure independent control valves (PICVs) are vital for this type of low-carbon system – they have the range ability and authority of control where it’s needed, for example at fan coil units (FCUs) and heat emitters.

We all know that the drive for net zero doesn’t just apply to new buildings. The commercial property market is responding to legislation such as Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and we’re seeing what’s being called ‘the great refurbishment’ sweep across the UK’s office sector.

Albion has worked with clients on many retrofit projects, and we believe that it’s not always necessary to tear out an entire pipework system to find energy efficiency gains. There are some very cost-effective efficiency and net zero wins to be found with the application of modern valve technology.

Variations from these intended flow rates can lead to inefficiencies such as excessive use of energy to drive the pump system; or where terminal units which don’t perform at their most efficient or alternatively in their wastage of water. Hydronic valves deliver those flows accurately and consistently – so that the system operates as intended.

www.theBESA.com

Of course, engineers and installers are at the forefront of applying renewable systems such as heat pumps and heat networks. Adoption of this low-carbon approach in all types of building is being actively encouraged by legislation, and while the performance of the heat pumps is often discussed, the correct application of valve technology makes all the difference for successful outcomes.

This lower-cost approach provides quick payback on the client’s investment whilst helping to reduce their energy bills in the long-term. Preserving as much of an existing system as possible with the introduction of modern valves can reduce the embodied carbon of the project overall. This can be an important point as local councils are increasingly looking at this aspect in planning applications for commercial building refurbishments. >>

PIPEWORK VALVES

However, engineers can check that a system includes strainers, filter pots and non-return valves all of which can prove very useful in keeping things running smoothly. The careful consideration of backflow products in a system can help to reduce contamination in open-loop systems.

Optimising cleanliness can support overall system efficiency and reduce future breakdowns.

A further product with consideration for those less-thanideal retrofits in older buildings is solenoid valves. They’re an invaluable preventative measure that can be easily retrofitted to prevent dripping taps, non-closures and leaks, and provide energy savings particularly in buildings where occupancy diversity varies considerably.

Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are also a useful choice for new-build and refurbishment projects. They are designed to control the pressure of incoming water from the mains supply. This external pressure can be unpredictable, so the PRV prevents surges of high-pressure water that could damage crucial system elements such as boilers, as well as causing leaks in pipework.

With retrofit projects it’s crucial to take a close look at the building’s existing services. Even if the HVAC system is older, the pipework and terminal units may be in good condition, particularly if the system has been well-maintained.

One way to boost energy efficiency and comfort is to improve speed control on the fan, which optimises air flow over the coil. The outcome is not only better energy performance, but also extra years added to the system life – all for minimal cost and reduced down-time for the building.

Many existing office buildings are facing the prospect of new occupancy patterns, as more businesses introduce hybrid working. These changes can wreak havoc on an existing control system, with heating and cooling potentially operating in empty spaces, wasting energy and creating unnecessary costs. A review of areas such as pressure control installation, and in particular pressure reducing valves (PRVs), in these buildings can help to avert these costs.

As water is an increasingly precious resource, PRVs can also play an important part in reducing its wastage by reducing the outlet pressure of taps, achieving significant water savings over time.

PRVs, non-return valves and solenoid valves are good examples of how inexpensive updates can make systems easier for building owners to manage their HVAC systems by helping to prevent breakdowns and call-outs. While not directly related to net-zero, any technology that extends the lifetime of systems subsequently reduces the operational carbon footprint of a building by reducing the need to replace equipment.

Building services can make a significant contribution in driving net zero in our built environment. It’s becoming more challenging to find potential savings as targets are set ever-higher.

Another example of a small change making a big difference is the example of a building hot water system, simply changing a 4-port constant volume valve for a PICV can have a significant impact even on an older system. Switching to 2-port PICVs means that the hot water is delivered to a specific location, only where it’s needed and with no wasted energy.

However, at Albion we believe that with attention to the details of a hydronic system, particularly in valve selection, there are energy and costs savings to be found. Valves can provide a cost-effective solution that not only meets building efficiency and carbon targets, but also supports longer operating life for the system.

The introduction of PICVs into an existing HVAC system helps to stabilise temperature range in a building, while also allowing the system to react to heating and cooling demands in different occupied spaces – without overshooting set-point temperatures. Greater control and better accuracy of indoor temperatures are better for the environment as well as occupants.

Whether it’s a new-build or retrofit project, correct valve selection can help designers achieve the system performance they’re looking for. n

Naturally, when working on a refurbishment project it’s possible to find systems that aren’t in great shape. In older or dirty systems, prevention is better than cure and there’s no replacement for a robust maintenance regime.

PIPEWORK TRVS

Turn down the cost of heating commercial buildings Aalberts Product Line Director – valve technology UK and Middle East, Sindar Singh, explains the importance of TRVs in a commercial setting and how this simple yet effective technology can make a difference.

I

n the face of concerns over energy use and efficiency in domestic and commercial buildings, businesses and householders need to implement energy-saving measures that reduce energy consumption and cost.

Improving energy efficiency and cutting emissions in large public and private sector buildings has been part of the Government’s net zero strategy for some years, as these types of buildings are still responsible for around 23% of the UK’s direct building carbon emissions*.

This, along with the rising energy costs, means there has never been more of a need to utilise established and trusted technologies. For hydronic heating systems, thermostatic radiator valves are an essential element for efficiency and comfort.

Thermostatic Radiator Valves

Direct greenhouse gas emissions from buildings equate to 17% of the UK total. And installing proven cost-effective products such as thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), whether retrofit or new build, commercial property owners, estate managers, engineers and installers can help achieve greater energy efficiencies and reduced costs.

It is important to monitor energy and costs, but we need to act on saving costs as well, and TRVs are a highly efficient way of controlling radiator areas with an independent valve shut down as the room reaches the set temperature. They are hugely beneficial to the domestic and commercial heating system and will help to achieve compliance with Building Regulations Part L and reach heating efficiency credits. They are a fitting that can significantly impact a building’s emissions and rising energy costs.

TRVs boast many advantages to specifiers, contractors and service engineers alike as a proven technology; they certainly offer energy savings, regulatory compliance, and exceptional performance. They are simple additions to new or existing radiators and are quick and easy to install. Commercial TRVs are designed for ease of servicing, which minimises system downtime and inconvenience to the customer.

In line with the Government’s non-domestic Building Services Compliance Guide, Pegler Valves promotes the importance of correct system design and best practice. Installation of effective controls has a significant impact on the energy consumption of heating and hot water systems. It can improve energy efficiency, reduce running costs and lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

In general, using controls can increase the operating efficiency when updating older systems and enable the user to minimise energy consumption by reducing comfort temperatures. Plus, installing a minimum standard of controls in a wet system (which previously had no controls) can reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 17%. >>

PIPEWORK TRVS

As there are many TRV products on the market, choosing a reliable product is key to ensuring energy efficiency and confidence in the knowledge that the product will enhance the heating system and provide savings.

Many buildings have problematic areas with different time and temperature requirements, with only one overall heating or cooling control system. A solution is to ‘zone’ the building, installing separate time and temperature controls for individual areas. Zoned areas can provide better conditions as occupants in each area will have greater control over their immediate environment. It will also be more cost-efficient, as HVAC can be turned down or off in unused zones.

The team behind Pegler Valves offers its wealth of product knowledge and industry experience in the best practice when installing a TRV in a commercial setting: • Installation of TRVs is recommended in a forward flow position. However, the Belmont TRV from Pegler Yorkshire can be installed in either direction with its reverse flow technology.

• For maximum performance, the TRV is best fitted at the top of the radiator, with the head fitted horizontally away from the radiator.

• Thermostatic heads above the top of the radiator should be avoided • For maximum energy efficiency, the TRV should be set to “3” for economy setting to reduce fuel bills; in areas of nonrequirement, the valve should be set to a frost setting • Locking and limiting devices should be used when in need of security; Belmont heads have as standard a patented “lift and lock” mechanism to prevent unauthorised adjustment or tampering in public places • Avoid installing TRVs in concealed areas; remote adjusters and remote sensors should be installed to read temperature accurately • To improve efficiency with a balanced system and longterm maintenance, pre-setting valve bodies should be used to allow adjustment to the flow and minimise the exercise of balancing the system in the event of maintenance • When installing radiator valves in large systems, it is important to select radiator valves with removable glands.

The Belmont range has a special tool that allows the removal of the gland without draining down the system.

Value and durability are additional concerns in the commercial and social housing sectors. Our objective with the Pegler Terrier Commercial range has been to provide products with added features and reliability that support heating systems while addressing current issues and remaining commercially viable. Features include a frost setting where the valve is opened automatically at 7ºC to prevent system freezing. It has a built-in patented tamper-resistant feature that is key operated and employs a patented ‘lift and lock’ operation, preventing accidental adjustment.

According to the Carbon Trust, energy consumption in non-domestic buildings can increase by up to 30% if regular maintenance is not undertaken*. Therefore, the Pegler Terrier Commercial TRVs offer a no-drain solution; using a glad removal tool, engineers can carry out valve repairs in isolation with no need to drain the whole system, which minimises down time and saves on cost and time on site.

TRVs are a tried and tested product that provides enormous benefits for domestic and commercial heating systems. Alone they can offer a 10-15% saving on energy usage compared to manual valves. Still, to achieve greater optimisation, we have developed pre-setting valves that allow systems to be balanced, plus differential pressure control valves that allow more extensive radiator networks to be balanced, all creating greater efficiency for commercial heating systems. n

Design for water quality A supply of clean hygienic drinking water is a basic requirement in a modern building.

The materials, systems and design of the water distribution system will influence the quality of the water delivered says Scott James, Managing Director of Viega UK.

S

afe drinking water is essential to health. In a building, this safety is determined by the quality of the pipework from the mains supply through to the end tap. Without proper care and design, the same pipes providing drinking water can become a breeding ground for bacteria.

A drinking water installation in the UK must comply with the Building Regulations (Building Standards in Scotland), the Water Supply Regulations 1999, and the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000. The Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers Guide G Public Health & Plumbing Engineering, produced in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, provides detailed information about legislation, standards and codes.

Clearly not every scheme complies with these standards.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) document Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality notes that: “significant adverse health effects have been associated with inadequate plumbing systems within public and private buildings, arising from poor design, incorrect installation, alterations and inadequate maintenance”.

170

| The BESA Book 2023

Dangers of poor design

The majority of drinking water-related health problems are the result of microbial contamination of the system.

Lukewarm, stagnant water, in particular, is an ideal breeding ground for Legionella.

Legionella is an aquatic bacterium found naturally in groundwater, springs, rivers and lakes as well as damp earth and sediments. It is also often present in low concentrations in municipal drinking water supplies.

Legionella multiplies easily in warm water, which is why it is often found in shower systems where it can be inhaled as an aerosol. 12% of water samples from buildings in the UK are estimated to contain the bacterium, which helps to explain why cases of Legionnaires in the UK are estimated to be between 4000 to 6000 a year.

For those who succumb to the disease, the WHO estimates a mortality rate of 5-10% in otherwise healthy individuals rising to 80% for immunocompromised patients.

Legionella and other bacteria grow in the biofilm present on the inner surfaces of pipework, from where they may be released into the flow.

PIPEWORK WATER QUALITY

Eliminate stagnation When water is used for drinking, it has an ‘expiry date’. Eliminating stagnation can be a challenge in large buildings, where the drinking water system can incorporate dead legs. In accordance with the standard BS EN 806-5 Specifications for installations inside buildings conveying water for human consumption; Operation and maintenance, the proper operation of a potable water supply system requires a complete exchange of the water in the system at least once every seven days.

The design of the drinking water system as a series pipeline or a ring system can help to significantly reduce the risk of stagnation. Every time a draw-off point is used, there is a complete flow-through of the upstream pipeline. This effect can be maximised by placing a high water consumer at the end of a series pipeline, or in the middle of the ring system so that water flows from both sides.

Nutrient supply Don’t feed the bacteria. It is important to minimise the nutrients available to potential pathogens to prevent their growth. Use only tested and certified products, where certification also includes the sealing elements, to ensure these do not provide an increased nutrient base for biofilms.

Design for prevention

Biofilms are present in most pipework systems, so to ensure drinking water hygiene the design of a drinking water system should address four key elements: Turbulent flow Pipes must be sized small enough to create turbulent flow over the entire cross-section of the pipe to prevent, stationary water occurring close to the pipe walls to help limit the formation of biofilms. In the past pipes were often sized too large, this allowed laminar flow to occur and a loose biofilm to form on the pipe wall. The correct sizing of pipework will ensure optimum system pressure; many manufacturers provide tools to help designers and contractors calculate the correct sizing and pressure for the system.

Temperature Legionella proliferate in water at a temperature of between 25-55°C, so it is important to keep drinking water and cold water pipes below 25°C, while the temperature of the domestic hot water should be maintained above 55°C. To help keep the cold water cold and hot water hot, it is sometimes possible for each service to follow a different route to a fitting.

To minimise the risk of nutrients being available, all components of a drinking-water installation must be supplied and stored on site in a hygienic state to prevent them becoming contaminated. This means that at each stage of the supply chain, steps must be taken to reduce the risk of contamination. >>

PIPEWORK WATER QUALITY

1. Manufacture If not managed correctly, bacteria can be introduced during the manufacture of components.

Any water left in the product after wet leakage tests will encourage the growth of micro-organisms during potentially long storage times, particularly if materials are kept in warm conditions. For this reason dry leakage tests are preferred to prevent the microbial risk developing. Once bacteria are established in the system it can be difficult to remove.

2. Construction The storage of pipes and fittings should always be carried out in a way that excludes dirt and contaminated water. There is a greater risk of contamination occurring in phased construction, so pipes should be supplied fitted with end stoppers. Similarly, protective caps should be used to seal riser pipes during assembly to reduce the risk of contamination from dust and chemicals. The connection method and materials used is also a potential source of contamination. Using lead-based solders on copper pipe can pollute the potable water, for example. By contrast, press connection technology is particularly suited to drinking water installations. The cold applied system does not require the use of chemicals and lubricants that could contaminate the system or release swarf that would then need to be flushed out.

Press connections can be used on a wide range of materials including copper, stainless steel and multilayer composite pipe.

3. Testing and commissioning To reduce the risk of contamination after testing, it is recommended that dry leakage tests are employed to check the system following installation, using dry, oil-free air. For systems where higher levels of hygiene must be maintained, for example in hospitals, inert gases can be used. This is especially important on large scale projects where there may be an extended period of time between completion of the pipework installation and the handover of the building.

Leak testing with water should only be considered if the system will be made operational immediately afterwards, for example in individual residential properties. Furthermore, any flushing of the installation required should take place as close to hand over as possible to prevent the type of microbial contamination that would compromise the quality of the drinking water.

4. Repair The risks to drinking-water quality should be considered just as carefully during work on older systems, or when addressing operational breakdowns, because repair works and additions to existing systems can be a further source of contamination. Here too, ensuring any new components are kept contaminant free from the point of manufacture to commissioning is vital. Some fittings manufacturers supply their products in individually controlled packaging, and the fitting should only be removed directly before use. n
