‘Fire Detectors’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release RoofSURE to help reduce carbon emissions from RoofSURE, which we summarised at the time by saying "A review of thermal insulation has revealed that the polyurethane foam used by RoofSURE is a cost effective method of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Long-term sustainable schools from Concrete Centre: "Pupils should be taught in buildings that aim to safeguard their future, reports Andrew Minson, head of structural engineering at The Concrete Centre.".
 
In November 2008, we covered the news from Natural Building Technologies - take a look at High performance insulation products from NBT which says: "Comprehensive collection of high performance insulation products from Natural Building Technologies used in construction of Berwick Workspace, a business centre in the heart of Berwick upon Tweed.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Profix, Profix expands composite door range , as well as Newey and Eyre expands cable management solutions from Newey and Eyre, and Indicative furnace tests fire resistance from Bodycote Warringtonfire.
