Wow! What a great idea!?! An illuminated FHR, doubles as an exit sign, maybe it’s non-maintained such that it only lights up on power failure.
Actually someone suggested it might have a dynamo in it – as you wind out the hose it generates a current and lights up. What a great idea!
You would have to do a JSA just to maintain it – for working at heights!
You have to wonder, don’t you?
Sean Mc Gowan in his report “Rare Air” AIRAH Ecolibrium June 2009 Vol 8.5 p22 – 24 investigates the issue of outside air introduced via operable windows in spaces such as classrooms rather than via mechanical ventilation. The article expresses concern by AIRAH members that domestic based contractors and consultants are, due to lack of familiarity with the “outside air” requirements of the BCA, recommending the inappropriate use of domestic split systems. These are increasingly being used as a cheaper alternative to more suitable “commercial” solutions in schools, government buildings, shops, training rooms, small offices and the like.
What we are increasingly seeing inside our commercial buildings!
