Andrew Yates, of Heizer (UK.) Ltd states: “We are highly focused on this exhibition as it is the ideal time to launch our new range of Polaris condensing, gas fired water storage heaters. “The Polaris, which is available in four different sizes, with outputs up to 1230 litres of hot water per hour, will yield an efficiency of 106%.

Ure points out: “ConCom does not entail significant cost if the facilities team undertake to carry out the process in-house. It will otherwise entail only minimal investment in the future well-being of the building and its staff.” Jim Ure is vice-chairman of the CIBSE FM Group, and is an experienced trainer and presenter.
