FM innovations ▼ Toshiba AC shortlisted for five awards Toshiba Air Conditioning, a division of Toshiba Carrier UK, has been shortlisted for five awards in the Cooling Industry Awards 2013. The accolades include a shortlisting in the Air Conditioning Product of the Year category for the company’s recently launched SHRM-i three-pipe heat recovery air conditioning system. It is believed to be the most efficient VRF system in the market at part-load conditions. Toshiba’s refrigerant leak prevention and management systems have also been shortlisted in the same category. The technology, which attracts BREEAM points, is being adopted by a growing list of national end users, keen to eliminate the possibility of refrigerant leaks from their buildings.

OCS has been providing a total facilities management service at St George’s Park (SGP), the FA’s National Football Centre in Burton-on-Trent, since 2012. Naturally, then, challenging the in-house team to an 11-a-side match has been on OCS’s to-do list for some time. The friendly took place in late 2013. “While OCS lost 7-1 against a well-organised SGP team, it was a well-contested match played in a great spirit,” said Jane Sheard, UK managing director of facilities services at OCS. After the match, OCS – which delivers catering, M&E, front-of-house, security and cleaning services to the centre – treated both teams to a freshly cooked curry with all the trimmings and a few cold drinks to ease the players’ aches and pains.
