We’ve just returned from attending the Energy Solutions Show at Olympia. Supported by the British Institute of Facilities Management, of which DMG Delta is a member.
It was a great opportunity to discuss the latest products and technologies for improving the energy efficiency of organisations. Running parallel to this show was the M&E Building Services Event. Here we heard from top speakers about new building legislation and regulatory changes.
It provided a useful reminder of the recent consolidation of building regulations, with clarification on requirements that have been in contention such as the question: When is work on a flat roof a repair and when is it a renovation requiring Part L permission? The simplest answer is to ask us! The continuing drive for zero-carbon buildings was also put into focus with the challenge for non-domestic buildings being achieving the optimum balance between reducing heating, cooling and electric lighting demand.
As maintenance specialists, it was good to confirm the latest developments in energy management. From retrofitting boiler load optimisation devices to energy saving light bulbs and occupancy sensors, what impressed us with this 2011 show is how practical these options have become. Read more…

We’re taking a keen interest in the development of the Olympic Park in East London, home to next year’s Games. It’s a ground-breaking project and sees the construction and building maintenance of both the Park and Olympic Village which houses the athletes.
Areas particularly sparking our interest:
- The Energy Centre – London 2012 quite rightly has a strong focus on sustainability, and the energy centre will support it’s commitment to using renewable and energy-efficient technology. With 2.5 square kilometres of venues to heat and cool, this is a significant undertaking.
- The Velodrome – the heart of the Park, and the first to be completed, will see cyclists competing for gold next year. With 6,000 spectator seats available, it’s essential that the facilities management of this complex run smoothly.
- The Pumping Station – as part of the development, a pumping station has been built for plumbing and sanitation facilities to remove waste from the Park and Olympic Village. This is a critical part of the complex and needs to be reliable and maintained.
- The Primary Substation – this is the ‘backbone’ for the development and provides the gas, water, telecommunications, water and sewage for the whole complex. Without it, the Games simply couldn’t take place.
