Co-operation, working at height guidance and energy management
The HVCA Ductwork Group (DWG) and the Association of Ductwork Contractors and Allied Services (ADCAS) have jointly published a revised edition of Working Together, a publication designed to promote greater understanding and collaborative working between mechanical services contractors and the ductwork specialists that are routinely engaged by them as sub-contractors.
The document state that its mission statement is “to provide a written guide to assist ductwork contractors, mechanical services contractors and their customers to arrive at a better understanding of the construction process from inception to completion, and thus to enable all parties to maximise the benefits of working together”. It can be downloaded from the HVCA website at www.hvca.org.uk.
New guidance on choosing the appropriate equipment for working at height, provided by national contractor Crown House Technologies and endorsed by the pan-industry Mechanical and Electrical Health, Safety and Environment Committee, can be accessed from the member only area of the HVCA website. The guidance is based on a “traffic light” system and it sets out equipment options for heights of up to 4.5m.
HVCA has also announced that a one-day course on Energy Management will take place on Tuesday 9 March at London South Bank University’s new Centre for Efficient and Renewable Energy in Buildings (CEREB). Sponsored by M&E Sustainability, a joint initiative of the HVCA and the Electrical Contractors’ Association, the course will focus on energy performance, metering, monitoring and targeting.
Further details can be found on CEREB’s website at www1.lsbu.ac.uk/cereb/courses.
