  1. Cob Building Construction Refined

    Cob Building Construction

     An exciting project involving British and French partners, led by the University of Plymouth is further developing a traditional building material to make low-energy, commercially viable house construction possible, using locally sourced materials.

    The CobBauge team are working with Cob; a mixture of earth and fibre, such as straw, which is then mixed with water. Cob was commonly used for building construction in South-West England up until the Victorian era.

    CobBauge is developing, an innovative cob using local soil and agricultural

  3. HVAC BMS System Sensors

    HVAC systems can get very complex when we talk about large scale structures such as office buildings, airports, hospitals, or skyscrapers. These can often be made up of a variety of subsystems to make managing and controlling an easier task.

    Prior to construction, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning needs must be assessed in regards to the purpose of the building. In a lot of cases a solution will already be available for installation. In others, a bespoke system must be designed.

    Once the structure is in use, it is important to monitor its functioning to ensure the safety and comfort of those within it. Tempcon offers a varied assortment of equipment designed for this specific purpose. From air flow, moisture, temperature and humidity monitors, to handheld devices used to inspect for gas leaks, and thermal activity among others, we have a solution fit for your requirements. Programmable controllers are also available to further manage these systems effectively.
