#architects strive to design buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional, accessible, and sustainable. One of the key elements to consider is the automatic entrance system, which can enhance the performance, safety, and convenience of any building. Automatic entrance systems are devices that allow doors to open and close automatically, without the need for manual operation. They can be activated by sensors, switches, or remote controls, depending on the type and purpose of the door. Automatic entrance systems can be installed in various types of buildings, such as commercial, residential, industrial, or institutional. Some of the benefits of automatic entrance systems are: They can improve the energy efficiency of buildings by reducing the heat loss or gain through the doors. They can also help regulate the indoor air quality and ventilation by preventing dust, pollutants, and noise from entering the building. They can enhance the accessibility and mobility of buildings by facilitating the entry and exit of people with disabilities, elderly, children, or those carrying heavy or bulky items. They can also prevent accidents and injuries by avoiding door collisions or jams. They can increase the security and privacy of buildings by preventing unauthorized access or intrusion. They can also be integrated with other security systems, such as alarms, locks, or cameras, to provide additional protection. One of the leading manufacturers of automatic entrance systems is Horton Automatics, a company that has been providing innovative and reliable solutions for over 60 years. Horton Automatics offers a wide range of products, such as sliding, swinging, folding, revolving, and specialty doors, as well as sensors, controls, and accessories. With its global network of distributor partners, Horton Automatics also provides installation, maintenance, and repair services for its customers. Horton Automatics products lead the industry in quality, durability, and functionality. Check them out if you are looking for a trusted and experienced partner in automatic entrance systems. If you are interested in learning more about building products and architecture, feel free to connect with me or leave a comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this topic. Thank you for reading!

Nominated: Fluorescent-to-LED retrofit unit The Resus fluorescent-to-LED retrofit fixture from The Regen Initiative has been nominated for a Build Back Better Award in the lighting category. It offers a simple fluorescent-to-LED retrofit option for upgrading luminaires. Designed to fit the majority of existing T5 and T8 fluorescent fittings, its design allows it to pick up on existing fluorescent lamp holders, using them only as a mechanical fix. All electronics are remote by the way of a remote driver allowing the product to be controls agnostic. Resus is designed to operate within any space where a fluorescent lamp once occupied. It’s controls agnostic, meaning Resus can work within any building management system and will operate with any fixed output, DALI or wireless drivers, and will, as standard, operate with key switch, self-test and DALI monitored addressable emergency systems. Resus features 3D-printed end caps which can be changed to suit T5, T8 and PLL lamp holders. In an upgrade, the existing fluorescent lamp and driver are removed but that the original fitting remains in situ thus negating the need for the product to be placed through the e-waste stream and retaining all its embodied carbon. The materials used in Resus contain a significant percentage of post-consumer recyclate and, other than cutting to length to suit the lamp dimensions, requires no post-finishing. Self-assessment to TM66 scores the product at 3.1. The product is also assembled without the use of adhesives, resulting in the product being able to be repurposed and ultimately easily recycled at end of life, in line with circular economy principles. • The Build Back Better Awards celebrates innovation, creativity, social purpose and environmental leadership in the build environment. The 2024 lighting category is currently open for entries. The closing date is Friday 6 September 2024. Link in the comments.

Buildings have come a long way since the 1980s, becoming more advanced and interconnected. Initially, technology deployment focused primarily on HVAC and lighting controls and, typically, was limited to individual buildings without remote management. Today, smart buildings use various sensors to monitor parameters like temperature, light, noise, occupancy, vibrations, and air quality. These sensors are integrated to improve operational efficiency and elevate the overall experience for building occupants. Despite these exciting developments, there are still challenges in delivering a fully integrated smart building to support the office of the future. Director of Little's Smart Building Studio, David Stephenson, CFM, identifies key hurdles and shares how to develop a successful smart building strategy. His expert insights were recently published in Work Design Magazine.

5 St. Philips. Birmingham The building is well over halfway through the main works construction and is taking shape. The external cladding to the rooftop extension is near completion along with the roof and veil-mesh secondary cladding. Most office floors have received 1st and 2nd fix services’ installations closely followed by the raised access floor installation. Works are also well underway to the entrance lobby reception and basement amenity spaces. The focus of this project is to contribute towards achieving #NetZero in line with Birmingham City Council's aspiration to become net zero by 2030. To achieve this, the following items are considered: embodied carbon, operational energy, and whole life carbon. #EmbodiedCarbon: 5 St. Philips is predominantly a comprehensive refurbishment and alteration project. It has the potential to result in almost 50% the Embodied Carbon Emissions compared to the LETI design target, for a new build of similar size. #OperationalEnergy: 5 St. Philips is an all-electric building. With a clear trajectory from the national grid to reduce carbon emissions, the building has the potential to gain an 80% carbon reduction (kg/CO2) over its lifespan. This compared to no carbon reduction associated with gas. #WholeLifeCarbon: 5 St. Philips has an estimated improvement of 40% carbon reduction (kg/CO2) over its lifespan compared to the LETI design target, for a new build of similar size. #EnergyPerformance: The existing buildings’ emissions rate is currently at EPC D (96), 62.04 kg.CO2/m2 and 370 kWh/m2 per year. The comprehensive refurbishment and alteration is set to achieve EPC B (31), 6.35 kg.CO2/m2 and 134 kWh/m2 per year. The building is targeting #BREEAMExcellent, #WELLBuilding Standard Core Gold, #WiredScore Platinum, #SmartEnabled and #NABERSUK.
