"wildlife conservation"

The drive to conserve finite fossil energy stores and reduce the carbon footprint of buildings to meet latest regulations, has pushed the modern building services engineer to create specific central plant designs. This allows for the easy and efficient integration of renewable energy sources, such as CHP, solar, heat pumps etc. A central plant system needs to offer a reliable and efficient way of producing hot water, controlling the heating and metering of each individual flat, apartment or house. Altecnics range of SmartSat® Heat Interface Units (HIUs), consumer modules and metering products, do just that.

Each green roof brings back a piece of nature and on some buildings a recreational space can be created for people to enjoy. A Bauder green roof combines the finished planting scheme and all its supportive components with a high quality and secure waterproofing system to give you the best results every time. When constructing a green roof there are some fundamental considerations that determine the system required to support the planting scheme. The key decisions are about access and what the roof is to be used for, is it for nature conservation and biodiversity or aesthetics? How will the area be used and how much maintenance will be possible. For more information please visit: http://www.bauder.co.uk/technical-centre/design-guides/green-roof-design-considerations

White Peak Lime Putty is made from the finest Buxton quicklime. Matured for a minimum of 4 months, it is ideal for the production of lime mortars, plasters and renders in restoration, conservation, heritage works Lime putty has no hydraulic set (does not set by reaction with water). It hardens by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. This process is slow and allows for small movements of buildings before the final set. Lime mortar made with lime putty is a very workable material and when hardened is more ductile than cement based mortars. This allows the building to continue to accommodate small movements. Lime mortars are also “breathable” and vapour permeable this helps in control of moisture in the building fabric. The bond strength of lime mortar is normally weaker than the fabric.
