The stand will receive its grand opening at BSEC (Building Schools Exhibition and Conference) at Excell on February 24th and 25th, our stand number will be S10706. After this show, there are further exhibitions booked for 2010, details of which can be found on the Exhibitions Section of our website.

Monodraught's Facelift
and Continuing Expansion

New External Views of Monodraught Offices
2010 will be a significant year for Monodraught, we have expanded our premises by a 35% to cope with the demand for our systems. The images here show the external façade of our building after its intense 3 month refurbishment.

In addition to the work being carried out externally, internally there is a substantial amount of work going on behind the scenes. As well as extra warehouse space being created to take into account higher stock levels of our Sunpipe systems required, purpose built training and display areas will also be available so that clients can view all of our systems in situ in mock-up installations. The new expansion will also cater for CPD programs and seminars as well as holding training sessions for our distribution partners overseas and at home.

The new premises is due to be completed in March and be ready for opening in mid April once the internal fit out is complete, after that it will be all systems go at Monodraught HQ.

New Cool-phase Website Launched

Air-conditioning that uses less power than a 60W light bulb

Cool-phase is an extremely low energy, fresh air ventilation system for use within the Commercial, Education and Healthcare sectors. It is capable of providing both cooling and heat recovery, but at a fraction of the power of typical AC systems. Using a Phase Change Material Cool-phase is able to store and release thermal energy highly effectively.

In cooling mode it uses cold night-time air to charge the PCM. The following day it can use the stored energy to reduce the temperature of air passing through the system. Inversely heat recovery mode will actively re-circulate the buildings warmth through the PCM late in the afternoon. The stored heat can then be used the following day to help offset heating requirements.

Cool-phase is a green alternative helping to reduce a building’s carbon footprint, but ultimately future development is to power the system entirely using a photo-voltaic array, providing a fully zero carbon alternative to air conditioning, for intelligent buildings of the future.

Schools Brochure

After many months of planning, Monodraught has published a new 40-page brochure specifically devoted to Schools. The brochure was originally designed as an informative look at the Regulations, particularly BB101, which is the ventilation requirements for Schools, but it was rapidly recognised that there are no less than 14 Rules, Regulations, and Guidance documents, that have been published, all concerning the development of Schools. Monodraught decided, therefore, to put together a comprehensive booklet explaining the function and relationship to one another. A detailed description is therefore given on CABE, BREEAM, BB 93, BB 101, BB 87, BB 95, and other relevant documents.

The 40-page booklet is designed to guide the Specifier through the tangled web of these requirements but has been put together with the valuable assistance of Dr Martin Liddament of VEETECH but also with input from Reading University and other associated bodies.
