UK Government Puts Water Efficiency In The Spotlight: Cistermiser calls for urgent action to curb everyday waste

With DEFRA placing resource efficiency and water resilience at the heart of its latest policy agenda, Cistermiser is warning that millions of litres of drinking water are still being lost through avoidable leaks and poor washroom practices every day.

The Department’s call for responsible resource management comes against the backdrop of mounting concern over water scarcity, rising utility costs and the environmental toll of wasted resources. Industry experts warn that without rapid change, parts of the UK could face significant supply shortfalls within 20 years.

Cistermiser’s Managing Director Richard Braid says: “DEFRA is absolutely right to elevate water efficiency alongside energy and carbon reduction. We cannot afford to treat water as limitless. From leaking toilets in schools and hospitals, to inefficient washroom systems in offices and public spaces, the scale of waste is staggering.

“The good news is the technology already exists to solve this problem – and to do so quickly. At Cistermiser we see it as our role to turn Government policy into everyday reality by giving building owners and facilities managers the tools to manage water responsibly, cut costs and support national sustainability targets.”

Water efficiency is also linked to economic growth and DEFRA is working closely with MHCLG to explore whether the Building Regulations 2010 could be amended to tighten water efficiency standards. That is because DEFRA believes a failure to implement water demand management measures in response to water scarcity could result in over 61,000 houses not being built costing the economy £25 billion in this parliamentary term. 

“We welcome the public consultation on the review of water efficiency in the Building Regulations and will be contributing to it,” continues Richard.  “By positioning ourselves as a practical partner to Government and industry, Cistermiser is demonstrating how water-efficient technologies can underpin national ambitions on growth sustainability, resilience and Net Zero.”

Cistermiser’s product range, including intelligent urinal controls and leak prevention technologies, is already helping estates across the UK tackle unnecessary consumption. The business is now urging facilities managers, landlords and contractors to use DEFRA’s latest policy focus as a trigger for immediate review of water usage. 

A recent installation at Radisson RED London Heathrow shows the potential impact. By adopting Cistermiser sensor technology, the hotel has reduced water consumption in its washroom urinals by an impressive 84% while also cutting associated carbon emissions. 

The project demonstrates how targeted interventions can deliver measurable savings and aligns with both Government and industry sustainability priorities.

Nuaire provides affordable cooling for central London residential development

Indoor air quality and ventilation manufacturing specialist Nuaire has had its MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling Systems installed into the new Berkeley Oval Village mixed use development in central London.  

103 MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling Systems with Nuaire ducting are being installed into one bedroom apartments at Oval Village in an area called the Zone, which are available on a shared ownership basis.  Compact in size, they are being installed within each apartment’s utility cupboards. 

The MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System, which is a cooling extension for the MRXBOX Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) range, combines the heat-exchanger coolth recovery of an MVHR system with the cooling effect provided by a DX coil.  A wall-mounted room temperature sensor senses indoor temperatures and activates the cooling module automatically when necessary.  

The MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System has been designed specifically to address the issue of overheating in problem areas of developments, where specific apartments or groups of apartments cannot be naturally ventilated and where site wide cooling technologies are not an option.  The MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System significantly lowers the temperature of the fresh-air supply for occupant comfort, and enables compliance with Building Regulations Part O which addresses overheating mitigation requirements in new build properties.

Whilst passive ventilation solutions, such as opening windows, are prioritised under Approved Document O, there are instances when this is neither desirable, nor practical; this could be due to safety considerations, external noise and/or pollution. Located in the heart of London, Oval Village has these issues to contend with, plus higher temperatures than in other parts of the UK as a result of the Urban Heat Island effect.

The MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System was selected by the consultant on the Oval Village development following an assessment of the acoustics, air quality and overheating.  For apartments that would not meet the noise criteria, natural ventilation was not an option and an alternative solution had to be found in the form of mechanical ventilation.  Cooling technologies for individual apartments impacted by overheating where looked at.  While split systems with fan-coils are a tried and tested option, they weren’t universally suited to all apartments in the development.  Such cooling systems come at a premium price and, furthermore, are relatively energy hungry so residents have to have the means to pay to run them.  With a number of the apartments at Oval Village allocated as affordable housing, the cost of cooling for the home owner was an important consideration.

The Nuaire MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling Systems were welcomed by the consultant as a means of achieving compliance with Part O without the energy cost of a full cooling system that occupants have to pay for.  As well as creating a simple solution to overheating in summer months, the units provide a high standard of indoor air quality year round via high-efficiency MVHR.

NOVUM STRUCTURES AND PYROGUARD DELIVER INNOVATIVE FAÇADE GLAZING SYSTEM FOR LUXURY CRUISE LINERS

 

Novum Structures, a globally recognised specialist marine contractor in glass, steel and ETFE, and Pyroguard, the world’s leading independent provider of fire safety glass, have worked in partnership to design a fire-rated, clear-view façade glazing system that is fully tested and accredited to meet A30 and A60 fire resistance criteria for use on cruise liners.

The innovative solution was developed for the Royal Caribbean Group and first used as part of its latest ‘Wonder of the Seas’ liner.

Novum Structures approached Pyroguard to support the company in meeting the challenges and specific requirements of the project.  The requirement was to produce glazed wall panels and a clear-view façade which complied with fire safety standards, whilst meeting aesthetic requirements and achieving a lightweight design.

One of the main challenges of supplying glass solutions was ensuring the system did not exceed stringent weight recommendations. In shipbuilding and the marine sector, weight is a crucial factor as it can impact overall efficiency, fuel consumption, stability, balance and performance.

Novum’s design aimed to achieve the maximum glazed area, with minimised steel frame, offering an unimpaired vision for the passengers. Pyroguard’s glazing system had to deliver exceptional fire resistance while maintaining a clear-view façade glazing system without obstructing frame elements. Specifically, it had to meet A30 and A60 fire-resistance criteria.

The Pyroguard and Novum glazing solution achieved IMO MED (International Maritime Organisation Marine Equipment Directive) certifications, which ensure the system meets strict fire and safety performance for marine applications.

Steve Goodburn, Business Development Director, at Pyroguard, said:

“We are delighted to have worked closely with Novum to develop fully tested and certified fire-rated, clear-view façade glazing systems for cruise liners.  This was a complex project that involved the expertise of our technical teams and it was great to partner with Novum from an early stage on the project.  Once the system was fully tested and certified, it was delivered on schedule to meet the client’s exacting requirements.”

A key engineering challenge was the curved configuration of the glazing system. Traditional curtain wall systems would have required extensive use of steel supports, significantly increasing the overall weight and obstructing passenger vision.

To address the design and weight challenges of the project, Pyroguard, in collaboration with Novum, proposed the use of a butt-jointed glazing system. This provided a structurally efficient and lightweight solution that offers the necessary flexibility.

This approach also enhances visual clarity, light transmission and UV stability without compromising safety.  The design of the system minimised the use of additional steel reinforcement, meeting the unique design requirements and significantly reducing the overall structural load.

Pyroguard’s toughened fire-rated glass is designed to withstand fire exposure for up to 60 minutes. The installation consists of 280 m2 of 32 mm thick glass comprising three layers of toughened safety glass with two active gel interlayers. The internal cavities of the profiles are filled with non-combustible insulating materials to minimise heat transfer, resist high temperatures and provide excellent insulation, effectively preventing the spread of flames, smoke and heat.

The glazing system is supported by a robust stainless steel profile structure, made from 1.4401 grade steel, which was selected for its superior corrosion resistance in marine environments.

The system was tested to ensure that it met the required fire safety standards for the marine environment and it successfully achieved an A60 class rating for straight walls and an A30 class rating for facetted walls.

Richard Mattocks, Managing Director, Novum Structures said:

“We are excited to offer the cruise market a fully tested and certified fire-glazed system and it was fantastic that its first use was on such a prestigious cruise liner.

“The project had its challenges and complexities but by working closely with Pyroguard, we were able to meet all the fire safety and performance requirements of the glazing system. Together we have pushed the boundaries of design and innovation with this newly developed curved glazing façade that complements the aesthetic requirements with maximum light transmission and minimum weight.”

Gilberts top of the class with new eco solution

Britain’s leading independent air movement specialist Gilberts is leading the class in helping deliver net zero educational and commercial buildings by 2050.

The company’s Mistrale Fusion Deo MFS-HR hybrid ventilation with heat recovery system has exceeded sales targets by more than 250% since its launch 18 months ago. In that time, it has also been short-listed for two top industry awards.

Demand for the product is due to its outstanding performance compared to alternatives- offering 65% heat recovery as standard! The high levels of heat recovery mean that it reduces the overall construction and running costs for the building and opens potential for the building to be carbon negative.

Independent data reveals that Gilberts MFS-HR delivers energy savings of up to 20%. It can reduce solar panel and/or heat pump required output by 7%. It achieves air leakage below 3m/3ph/m2. Its U value is below 1.0W/m2/°C. Further, it is BB101 ventilation, BB93 acoustic and TM52 comfort compliant. 

British designed, engineered and manufactured, MFS-HR features adjustable flow and noise rates/levels to optimise suitability for specific classroom requirements. Integral CO2 monitoring and controls guarantee compliant indoor air quality in line with Department for Education guidelines. 

Gilberts’ MFS-HR’s attraction to specifiers results from more than its performance.

Considerate design means MFS-HR is easy to install/attach to the through-façade air intake/extract louvres. MFS-HR can function as a stand-alone unit or whole zone/whole building system, ducted or fitted above ceilings. With optional heating/cooling, MFS-HR removes the need for supplementary plant, further positively impacting capital equipment and running costs. 

“Our reputation over the past 60+ years has been built on innovation, quality and giving the market what it wants and needs,” says Ian Rogers, Gilberts Sales Director. “We knew Mistrale Fusion Deo MFS-HR was ahead of the game when we first began developing the concept. Its success has surpassed our expectations, demonstrating British manufacturing is still world class.”

Family Hub Choses Style Again for Folding Partitioning Wall

Christchurch Family Hub provides essential, early support for local families. In 2003, Style installed a folding wall with pass-door to enable the Hub to divide its main activity and family room into two separate areas, as and when needed.

Twenty-two years on and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council again contacted Style, this time to replace the old wall with a modern system with enhanced operation and improved acoustics. 

Finished in a beech laminate, the new Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable wall is smooth and lightweight to manoeuvre, allowing the space to be easily opened up, or divided into two rooms, many times a day. If preferred, the dividing wall can be left in place for extended periods thanks to an integrated pass-door and, with a 49dB acoustic rating, activities can comfortably take place either side of the wall undisturbed.

“The original wall at the Christchurch Family Hub lasted over two decades, with regular servicing and maintenance from our after-care support team,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director. 

“The fact that it continued to deliver smooth operation for such a long time is testimony to the quality of the original installation and also to the expertise of our technicians.”

Style’s after-care service team offers tailored maintenance plans to suit each customer’s unique site requirements, from one-off visits to fixed annual contracts. Fully accredited and experts in health and safety compliance, Style engineers are trained to work on all moveable walls, including automatic and semi-automatic systems. 

The Variflex system installed the Christchurch Family Hub brings improved acoustics and the latest operational features. One such benefit that is particularly relevant for this busy activity centre, is that the Variflex panels are manufactured separately to frame. 

This means that the individual panel linings can be easily changed if one should become scuffed or damaged, saving a considerable amount of money compared to replacing the entire wall.

A CLEAR UPGRADE FOR AMC HOSPITAL WITH PYROGUARD’S FIRE SAFETY GLASS

AMC Hospital, which is the largest healthcare facility in the Netherlands, has undergone a major renovation, which has modernised the 1,000-bed facility with a clear focus on enhancing the safety and well-being of staff and patients. 

At the heart of the transformation was the replacement of over 10,000 m² of out-dated wired glass, bringing the hospital in line with the highest industry standards, while achieving a state-of-the-art, contemporary aesthetic.

As part of the renovation, the decision was made to replace all existing wired safety glass with new, transparent glazing solutions from fire safety glass manufacturer Pyroguard, to ensure that the hospital adhered to current industry standards. This upgrade also addressed long-standing challenges with maintaining accurate product data records for the glass partitions and doors, many of which had been extended or replaced over the years without clear traceability. By upgrading the glass throughout the facility, AMC Hospital not only enhanced its aesthetic appeal and improved safety standards but also ensured data consistency across the entire site.

MedicomZes, a specialist in hospital construction and renovations, was entrusted with overseeing the project, while Glasdesign were appointed to fabricate and install the glazing systems. Given the scale and complexity of the project – set within a sensitive healthcare environment – MedicomZes approached Pyroguard as a trusted manufacturer with the capability of providing the required quantities of fire-resistant glass, whilst also meeting the hospital’s stringent safety, design and performance standards.

Stefan van Gerven, Pyroguard’s Regional Sales Director, said: “During initial discussions, concerns arose about the compatibility of the existing timber frames with the new fire safety glass and the corresponding load requirements. We collaborated closely with Peutz, a specialist consultant, to test the existing frames as part of a complete system. This is where our extensive library of technical data proved instrumental, as we were able to confirm that the original timber could be retained, with the findings forming a key part of the renovation plans.

“Considering the scale of the project and the volume of glass required, we also recommended a sampling exercise to evaluate the potential glass types that could meet the specified criteria. This process allowed both the architect and building management team to make a more informed decision. An additional consideration for the architect was the need for a fire safety glass solution that would enhance privacy for both patients and staff, through the use of a satin finish.” 

Following the sampling exercise, Pyroguard Rapide (Impact 7mm and Impact Satin) was specified for the internal partitions throughout the hospital, incorporating both clear and satin fire safety glass. Pyroguard Protect (Pyroguard T EW30 and T EI30) was installed in areas requiring larger, bespoke pane sizes, delivering exceptional fire protection while aligning with the architect’s vision for aesthetic design.

Peter Blankers, Projectmanager at MedicomZes added: “Working with Pyroguard has been instrumental in ensuring we met the hospital’s safety and aesthetic goals. Their technical support and ability to address the specific challenges of the healthcare environment were invaluable. The final result not only enhances the safety of the building but also contributes to a modern and welcoming environment for patients and staff.”

Throughout the project, it was crucial that the building remained operational to minimise disruptions to patients and staff. Glasdesign successfully completed what is only the first phase of the project on time, with the project scheduled for full completion in a few years.

Getting the specification right with thermal break installations

For many years, structural thermal breaks were a largely overlooked component in building design. But as the industry pivots towards more sustainable construction in line with Net Zero goals, thermal breaks have stepped into the spotlight, particularly for their ability to boost energy efficiency by reducing heat loss at connection points.

Despite their rise in recognition, there are still crucial considerations that remain widely misunderstood – and the reason? It’s down to the assumption that higher compressive strength always equals a better product in construction. Paul Beech, General Manager of thermal break specialists, Armatherm™, discusses the importance of full and proper research when it comes to specifying building materials. 

A thermal break essentially has two key jobs – reduce heat transfer while maintaining structural support. That balance is more complex than simply opting for the strongest material available. In fact, when it comes to insulating performance, higher strength materials often come with a compromise: greater density and in turn, a lower R value.

This is especially relevant when insulating structural connections like balcony supports, column bases or roof beams. These are areas where moment forces and compression are in constant play, and a correctly specified thermal break will take into account the load requirements of the application, without unnecessarily sacrificing insulation performance.

Taking a closer look at column bases, for instance. These are areas that don’t always require high compressive capacity but do require excellent thermal resistance. In these cases, over-specifying the strength can result in a denser product that absorbs more energy.

Every building element has its own unique load-bearing requirements. Balcony connections are one example where compressive and tensile forces are significant and unavoidable, and require high compressive strength as seen in the Armatherm™ FRR range. In these cases, selecting a thermal break with the right compressive strength is essential to ensure both safety and insulation.

However, there are less demanding areas, such as steel columns passing through a concrete floor where thermal breaks with a lower compressive strength may perform better. These materials often have minimal creep under load and do not absorb moisture, which helps to maintain structural stability while offering excellent thermal insulation.

This is where thoughtful specification comes into play. A one-size-fits-all mindset doesn’t serve the performance or sustainability goals of a project and it’s essential to find that balance, strong enough for the structural need yet not so strong that you risk losing insulation efficiency.

Equally important is ensuring that the product you specify delivers on its claims. With sustainability being such a high priority in today’s construction landscape, manufacturers know that marketing terms like “eco” and “green” carry weight.

There are some thermal break products on the market, such as girts, which are promoted as environmentally friendly, but contain embedded steel elements that compromise their insulating performance. While they may technically meet load requirements, their conductive components can significantly reduce energy efficiency, ultimately working against the project’s goals.

Without robust testing data or third-party validation, these claims can be misleading. That’s why it’s critical to dig deeper and ask questions. Compare not just R values and strength ratings, but also composition, test history and long-term performance data. Working with a team like Armatherm™ can help with this, collaborating to find the best product for the job. 

As thermal breaks become standard in modern building design, the duty falls on specifiers to look beyond surface-level metrics. It’s not enough to choose the most robust or the most advertised product. Performance, longevity and verified sustainability all matter, especially when regulation, public interest and scrutiny around energy use are only intensifying.

Rather than treating thermal breaks as a material to be checked off a tick list during a project, it’s time to start considering them as a key contributor to the building’s overall performance and make use of technical resources, choosing suppliers who can back up their claims and work as an extension of your team. 

With so many factors to consider when specifying thermal breaks, from compressive strength to long-term performance and sustainability, it’s essential to work with a supplier who understands the bigger picture. Armatherm™ has spent years developing structural thermal break solutions that strike the right balance between strength and insulation performance, helping to reduce thermal bridging without compromising structural integrity. The expert team is always on hand to support architects, specifiers and engineers in selecting the most appropriate product for each individual application. Whether you’re working on a high-load structural connection or a detail that demands precision thermal isolation, Armatherm™ can help you get it right.
