Despite the high quality of drinking water in the Nordic countries, the condition of the old pipe networks poses challenges. For example, Tin Finland most of the network was built between 1960 and 1990 and in the biggest cities parts of the network are over 100 years old. According to a recent study in Finland (ROTI 2019), 12% of the sewer network and 12% of the potable water network has deteriorated and there is an increasing need to renovate the old networks to both ensure water quality and minimise water losses. In Finland, 68 million m3 of mains water is lost every year and a substantial part of this is due to leakages (SYKE 2018). In Sweden, the total leakage of clean drinking water is about 15% on average, corresponding to 99 million m3 (Svenskt Vatten 2019). This is not only a waste of clean drinking water – resources used to collect, treat and pump the drinking water are also wasted. Losses of water, and in issue 2/2019 particular leakages, are relevant for distribution network efficiency in all European countries. New innovations are needed to help solve these challenges. On p. 12, you can read about how our new Water Monitoring Services are helping the city of Pori in Finland to monitor 4 In Brief 16 Industrial its leakages.

  • Consultation
    CONSULTATION Date: 26/10/2017 One-month consultation on two new CECED draft Code of Conducts on marking of appliances for end-of-life treatment Brussels, October 26th, 2017 CECED, representing the home appliance industry in Europe, launches today a one-month consultation on its new draft Code of Conducts on marking appliances for end-of-life. These Codes of Conduct are launched in the context of the circular economy, regular bilateral discussions between producers and recyclers over the last years, and producers’ obligations under the WEEE Directive Article 15 to provide treatment facilities with information necessary to ensure sound treatment of WEEE. With this voluntary action, CECED members are committed to show the home appliance industry’s proactivity on end-of-life and resource efficiency. CECED members have been working on developing two code of conducts to ease the identification at end-of-life of certain types of appliances to support treatment facilities and recyclers in sorting appliances for sound collection and treatment at the end-of-life. This will facilitate safer and environmentally sound treatment of these types of appliances. With this initiative, CECED members aspire to contribute to improving WEEE treatment by encouraging the ongoing productive dialogue with recyclers, providing them with useful information and indications on the future needs of recycling technologies, while sending a positive signal to the market. What is the scope of each draft Code of Conduct? Household refrigerating appliances containing vacuum insulation panels & heat pump tumble dryers, washer dryers, washing machines and dishwashers containing F-Gases. What is the content of the two draft Code of Conducts? The draft code of conducts will provide a set of guidelines on a common marking for each type of appliances under the scope of the Codes.

Comincio col ringraziare tutta la mia famiglia: dai nonni (Corrado, Elvira, Maria e Marino), agli zii (Carlo, Claudia, Fabio e Florentina) fino ai cugini (Fabio, Lorenzo, Marco, Matteo). Un pensiero particolare però va ai miei genitori, Catia e Sergio. Coloro che mi hanno sempre sostenuto emotivamente, continuamente incoraggiato e concesso l’opportunità di studiare in un’università d’eccellenza. Dal primo giorno in cui ho iniziato gli studi a Roma, non mi hanno mai fatto mancare niente, essendo costantemente presenti e pronti ad aiutarmi a risolvere ogni problema. Nonostante ho avuto insegnanti all’altezza e pienamente qualificati, grazie ai miei genitori ho imparato quali sono i valori fondamentali nella vita. Ringrazio Chiara la mia ragazza che mi ha dato sempre fiducia nonostante le sfide che avessi di fronte fossero rilevanti e mi ha sopportato per tutti e cinque gli anni (impresa non facile), standomi vicina semestre dopo semestre ed esame dopo esame. Un pensiero speciale va agli amici di una vita Federica, Francesco, Lorenzo e Marco capaci sempre di regalarmi un sorriso, ai nuovi amici incontrati in questi cinque anni tra cui Ernesto conosciuto durante la triennale e Alberto, Andrea, Ciro, Edoardo, Francesco, Federico, Luca e Nicola incontrati durante la laurea specialistica.

  • National Museum of the United States Army
    National Museum of the United States Army na.rehau.com/projects Army museum enlists REHAU radiant system for climate control After more than 240 years of honorably serving the country, the U.S. Army is getting its own museum. Sited on a hilltop at Fort Belvoir in northern Virginia, the museum will occupy more than 80 acres of grounds and feature 185,000 ft² (17,187 m²) of exhibition and support space. Museum visitors will enter through a spacious lobby with a 35-ft (10.7-m) ceiling that features representations of the Army’s history. An engraved Honor Wall at the southern end of the lobby commemorates each of the battles fought in the Army’s history. The lobby leads to a vast, open exhibit hall – “Essentially, an airport hangar,” said Jason Calcagno, project manager during the museum’s construction for Southland Industries, the design- build company that served as the mechanical engineer for the project. Temperature control for the exhibit hall and the lobby is provided, in part, by a REHAU radiant heating and cooling system. Calcagno explains that this technology is ideal for this application, because the environment is controlled near the ground for visitor comfort, while energy is conserved by reducing the heating and cooling requirement in the air space higher up. A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) provides ventilation and humidity control. Combining radiant and DOAS for space conditioning significantly reduces the amount of HVAC energy, which in REHAU’s experience has been as much as 35 percent when compared to a standard forced-air system.
