The technical lighting company says light quality, long service life, and marketleading efficiency of up to 143 lm/W, means OLISQ qualifies for Breeam, Well, and other certification standards. Trilux said that, with customisable materials and various choices regarding luminous flux, switches, and housing, OLISQ ensures optimal clarity and orientation. A wide selection of lighting variants, offering distinct performance characteristics, enables a seamless installation without impacting the existing building, said Trilux.

Delivering zero emissions, increased energy efficiencies and reduced operating costs, the new Aerotop L 88kW unit has replaced two ageing gas boilers as part of Somerset County Councils drive to decarbonise its estate. As a result of the switch from gas-fired boilers to electric heat pumps, the project has delivered impressive energy savings thanks to a coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 4.0 from the Aerotop unit. The result is an estimated 71% reduction in the primary energy required to heat the property. The heat pump is connected to an upgraded system consisting of new double-panel radiators with convectors (which have replaced single-panel models), and several new fan convectors. All emitters accommodate a low temperature heating circuit from the Aerotop unit, ensuring the heat pump continues to operate at maximum COPs of up to 4.0.
