‘Water Heating’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Dimplex evacuated tube solar collector from Dimplex UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dimplex now offer more flexibility for specifiers by adding a high efficiency evacuated tube solar collector to its solar thermal water heating range.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Carbon neutral Stride Treglown office from Stride Treglown: "Stride Treglown architects install over 100sq.m of photovoltaics on the roof and south facade of their new Cardiff Office, making it Carbon Neutral".

In September 2011, we covered the news from SAS International - take a look at SAS International for acoustics at Dublin Airport which says: "SAS International worked with architects Pascall + Watson to design the acoustic ceiling solutions for the new Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport, Ireland.".

Take a look also at the news release from Geberit, Geberit pipe fittings specified for safety, as well as Keen cyclist launches pothole repair product from Ronacrete, and Technical mortars used to renovate River Medway from Saint-Gobain Weber.
