Make Your HVAC System More Energy Efficient

An energy-efficient HVAC System (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) has to meet targets in all aspects. Employees and visitors to business premises – family and friends at home – all need high-quality air indoors to stay healthy and productive. HVAC systems that are more energy efficient protect your people, your pocket and the planet.

The correct maintenance and use of a quality air conditioning system allows facilities managers (and homeowners alike) to predict building energy consumption and associated emissions accurately. Fail to manage correctly, and there is a risk of runaway energy costs.

Keeping Your Classroom Cool

Keeping your classroom cool for students isn’t just a nice added extra. Classrooms without cooling systems can experience sweltering heatwaves. The met office may offer advice about finding cool, shaded spots indoors, but some school buildings don’t have enough cool spaces.

Over-heated teachers know how important it is to maintain a calm and comfortable school and campus environment. Simply relaxing school uniform policy during hot weather sometimes isn’t enough.

Some forward-thinking schools and universities are investigating the options. Learning centres (such as private schools perhaps) could measure pupils’ relative exam success during summer heat and air-conditioned calm.

Mechanical Engineering on Railways

More work on the railways

We have just completed a major refurbishment project at a training facility at Huddersfield Railway Station.

We undertook a full mechanical and electrical refurbishment of the facility which included installing new lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation systems, along with new power and CCTV services.

The facility is located in a Grade I listed building which provided us with special constraints in our designs and the eight-week installation.

The railway station is a Grade I listed building which meant we had to consider this in the way we designed the relevant services and the materials that we used.

The fact we were working in a busy railway station also posed some challenges in terms of accessing and working in the training facility too.

The work was on behalf of First Transpennine Express which manages Huddersfield Railway Station.

This project follows a recent contract that we at SDH Building Services undertook to refurbish the heating, plumbing, electrical and fire alarm systems at Hull Paragon Railway Station in the centre of Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire.

So, we are pleased to have completed a further project within the railway sector – a sector we believe we have a lot to offer either as a sub contractor or on a ‘direct-to-the-client’ basis’ so soon after the one in Kingston Upon Hull.

SDH Building Services Limited provides a wide range of building services in commercial buildings such as supermarkets, offices, hotels, restaurants, factories, schools and care homes – nationwide.

Our services include commercial heating, plumbing, electrical and air conditioning both on a sub-contract or a direct-to-the-client basis.

Air Conditioning and Ventilation projects

Three new high profile projects

SDH Building Services Limited is delighted to announce that it has recently secured three new, high-profile projects.

We have won a contract to design, supply and install a new heating, plumbing, air conditioning and ventilation system at The British Red Cross in Manchester.

The new facility is to be the UK’s national call centre for first aid training for the international volunteer-led humanitarian organisation.

We have also won a contract to refurbish the heating, pluming, electrical, fire alarm and data systems at Hull Paragon Railway Station in the centre of Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire.

Our third new project is designing, supplying and installing air conditioning, plumbing, heating and gas systems in a brand new bakery factory in the London area.

Steve Hunt, Managing Director, said: “These are three further high profile projects after our recent work for Proctor & Gamble.

“We are delighted to have been chosen to carry out these projects with these high profile names.

“We believe they have come about due to our being able to design highly bespoke systems yet to tight budgets. The project with Hull Paragon is particularly interesting in that this is a new sector for us and one we hope to do more within in future.”
