Babraham Research Campus’ Post

We have another exciting new monthly column for you – The Professor is in: Materials Education! In this month’s issue, Stephanie Sickler of Florida State University and Helen Turner of University of Kentucky tackled the topic of carpet in healthcare environments. They chatted with Sean DeVore, District Manager for Mannington Commercial, who believes that flooring material performance is only as good as how the product is cared for.

The renovation of the historic Peabody Hall at the University of Arkansas showcases the power of advanced HVAC solutions like FlaktGroup SEMCO’s chilled beam systems. These systems helped transform a 100-year-old building into one of the best-performing on campus, balancing energy efficiency with the preservation of its historic character. By utilizing chilled beam technology, the project minimized invasive ductwork, protecting Peabody Hall’s unique architectural details like its historic tin ceilings. The advanced system also provided precise humidity control, a critical need in the Southern climate, and created a low-maintenance solution that has continued to perform exceptionally over time. At Powers, we supply FläktGroup SEMCO products for all of Arkansas. Contact us today to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRwpxFXp

AirVent Seminar Results from Malvern, PA... Another packed room for today's "Attic Ventilation: Ask the Expert" Seminar in Malvern, PA. Thank you J & L Building Materials and to all of the 62 participants. Question of the Day: "If the design of the roof/house prevents an even distribution of the attic intake airflow (such as in the case of reverse gables) what do you suggest?" Answer: Load up the intake as best you can where you have horizontal space to work with around the entire perimeter -- even if it means doubling up two types of intake such as traditional soffit vents along with roof-top intake. The distribution of the intake may end up being heavy on one side of the house/attic. Make sure the total amount of intake installed still matches the total amount of exhaust. It may be necessary to switch to a reduced amount of exhaust. Tomorrow we wrap up week 1 of the seminar season in Boston. Sign up for any FREE seminar @ https://lnkd.in/gA-FDm4F. Seminars run through April 18, 2025.

In this course, see how designing modern wood schools can accomodate a growing number of students with structures that are cost-effective, as well as safe, resilient, and appealing. https://hubs.la/Q02rZ8pf0

I highly recommend this seminar.

A UWE Bristol alum has designed a flatpack wood burning stove which will provide a vital heat source for people whose homes have been damaged in areas of conflict across the world. The Heat for Humanity initiative has been set up by UWE Bristol Product Design graduate Sam Driver, 24, after developing the first prototype during his degree. By designing a flatpack stove, Heat for Humanity can transport far more of the products in one go when compared with pre-assembled stoves, meaning they can support more homes to access heat while reducing the number of trips into an active war zone. https://lnkd.in/ejXMgeQW
