BNE – BusinessNet Explorer has launched a ‘new media partnership’ that highlights its digital media focus. BusinessNet Explorer is the product news and information channel for UK Construction & Building Services and associated Manufacturing and Energy focussed specifiers and buyers.

Managing Director Mick De Leiburne says: “We were proud to be given the opportunity to support Materials 2017 recently as a new media partner, providing updates on exhibition and exhibitor news on our portal and in audio / visual formats via our YouTube channel. The event organisers also provided us with an exhibition space to allow us to set up a mobile recording facility. This ‘Voice to the Brand’ opportunity was extremely well received and we recorded several interviews over the two days. These included industry ‘thought leaders’ from brands exhibiting, visitors to the show and senior members from the event management team. The interview recordings are now available as a special series of audio/visual ‘Materials 2017 interviews’ podcasts on the BusinessNet Explorer YouTube channel.

We’re hoping to be able to announce additional exhibitions later in the year where we will be offering the same services, broadening the reach of what we have to offer.”

In addition to the New Media offering, BNE offers the capability to provide brand managers with a short form press release service on an ad-hoc basis, to allow brands that do not have an agency to participate in ‘exhibitor news’ updates. Prices for this service depend on the requirements but are available on application and see the complete service on offer from one organisation.

David Schindler is the Event Director of Materials 2017 and he said: “We decided to utilise BusinessNet Explorer’s podcast services and channel to allow us a collaborative promotion opportunity for the Materials 2017 conference and exhibition itself and also the individual exhibitors. The BNE Product News podcasts provide an easy way to gather information quickly about new developments in our industry and having such an immediate way to reach our ‘on the move’ audience is vital for us. So many architects and building designers are now used to sourcing information from YouTube or other social media and are often out of their offices, so this makes podcasts a useful addition within our communications strategy. Making this service also available to our exhibitors allowed them an opportunity to share podcasts in their individual promotional activities relating to their presence at Materials 2017.”

Mick De Leiburne continued: “Our YouTube channel has a search facility allowing fast access to product news and information from leading and up and coming brands in audio / visual podcast format. The BNE channel search facility is positioned next to the ‘About’ button. You can search by brand, product type or Construction, Building Services including Electrical, Mechanical / HVAC product groups for relevant content. The playlists now have over 100 podcasts available including multi-brand news rounds, individual brand features and interviews. The whole opportunity is offered in harmony with GIANT PEACH new media.”

BNE supports the memberships of over 50 Trade Associations and Support Organisations and the most common visitor types are Architects, Surveyors, House Builders, Local Authorities, Design & Build Contractors, Property Developers, Design & Build M&E Contractors, HVAC Contractors, Consulting Engineers, and Building Services Engineers.

Condair plc, formerly JS Humidifiers, has expanded its service engineering department with the appointment of Colin Turnbull as Installation Manager and Shaun Canham as a new Service Engineer, specifically covering the North.

Colin, originally from Glasgow, has 20 years experience in the RAC industry having worked in various roles from engineer to project manager for a wide range of commercial cooling applications. As Condair‘s Installation Manager he is delivering the installation of all types of Condair humidification systems across the UK & Ireland, from order placement to completion. This includes liaising with clients, organising installation engineers and materials, and ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation.

Condair’s new service engineer, Shaun Canham, is based near Newcastle, enabling the company to provide a more efficient response time to its customers in the North of England. Shaun has Gas Safe certification, further strengthening Condair’s capacity to commission and maintain gas-fired steam humidifiers.

Tony Tullett, Service Manager at Condair, comments, “We are delighted to welcome Colin and Shaun to Condair’s service department and are proud to be expanding even further what was already the UK’s largest specialist humidifier engineering team. Condair now boasts 11 service engineers out on the road, strategically located across the country to support our customers, delivering the manufacturer’s expertise directly on site. This is in addition to our dedicated installation engineers and spares departments.”

Condair Group is the world’s leading specialist in humidification and evaporative cooling, with energy efficient, hygienic and innovative technologies for commercial, industrial and heritage applications. Condair is represented in the UK by Condair plc, which offers system design, manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning, maintenance and spares. Condair plc is the new name for JS Humidifiers following the organisation’s rebranding in October 2014. You can find out more by visiting the company’s website at www.condair.co.uk.

Condair, the world’s leading humidification specialist, is expanding its product portfolio with a range of advanced commercial and industrial dehumidifiers.

The new Condair dehumidifier range comprehensively covers both desiccant and condensing technologies with extensive standard capacities from 0.5kg/h to 182kg/h (@20°C/60%RH). Custom units are also available, which are capable of providing even greater dehumidification or operating under specific or extreme environmental conditions required by an application.

Condair desiccant dehumidifiers use a silica-coated sorption rotor to absorb moisture from the air. This type of technology is ideal for low temperature conditions or applications that require very dry air, below 50%RH. The dehumidifier’s sorption rotor is regenerated with a heated airflow and the wet, hot air is vented externally. As standard, electrical heat exchangers are used for this regeneration process but gas-fired, steam or hot-water heat exchangers can also be used, either alongside the electrical heater or instead of it, to reduce energy and operating costs.

The desiccant dehumidifiers, from Condair, are designed to allow additional modules to be seamlessly attached on either the process or regeneration airflows. These modules provide pre or post-cooling, post-heating or air-cooled condensation removal. Being able to customise the system with these modules allows air to be delivered to an area or room at a precise temperature as well as the correct humidity. The air-cooled condensation module removes the need for external venting of the wet regeneration airflow, making the system even more flexible in its operation.

Condair condensing dehumidifiers use a refrigerant circuit to remove moisture from the air, as it condenses on cooling coils. This type of technology is ideal for lowering humidity to around 50%RH. Features of the range include hot-gas defrost as standard, to control icing on the cooling coil and ensure efficient operation at lower room temperatures. Temperature neutral models are also available that have a secondary, externally located condenser. This allows some of the heat generated by the refrigerant circuit to be vented outside and the dry conditioned air to be delivered back to the room at the same temperature as the incoming humid air.

Both desiccant and condensing dehumidifiers can be operated as stand-alone systems, providing dry air directly to a room’s atmosphere, or attached to a duct network to distribute conditioned air to a wider area. Due to the extremely large capacities available in the Condair range, a single unit is often capable of serving a whole building.

Condair Group is the world’s leading specialist in humidity control and evaporative cooling, with energy efficient, hygienic and innovative technologies for commercial, industrial and heritage applications. Condair is represented in the UK by Condair plc, which offers system design, manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning, maintenance and spares. Condair plc is the new name for JS Humidifiers following the organisation’s rebranding in October 2014. You can find out more by visiting the company’s website at www.condair.co.uk.
