Dear user,
This month, you can learn a little more about Lighting and Building Controls. Read on:
Gradually, the realisation is dawning among the population at large, that the greatest problem facing mankind – and our world – is man-made global warming.
While nobody is quite sure exactly what is going to happen, it is now clear that we cannot go on as we are. Modern technology – able to reduce harmful emissions - will provide part of the answer, but it is also clear that far less energy must be consumed in the future.
The UK’s revised Part L of the Building Regulations is another part of the mix.
If you have a question on this topic, click here to consult one of Voltimum's technical experts.
Before you start to read this month's technical articles - we would like to draw your attention to our feature on Interbuild show which finished on 27th April. Over 40,000 people attended the the five-day event to see over 1,100 exhibition stands. On the Voltimum stand we met many loyal users and welcomed 1,000 new members to the portal.
We have captured many images and memories in our Photo Gallery. Click on the banner below to view. The next Interbuild will be held from 28th October to 1st November 2007 so make a note in your diaries now. | |
