Key initiatives include reducing carbon emissions, both embodied in materials and operational during building use, organizing joint training sessions for architects and window manufacturers to promote energy-efficient practices, and supporting rehabilitation projects that prioritize material reuse and recycling while upgrading buildings with more efficient solutions.

Luis del Fraile, VEKA Ibérica’s Managing Director, highlighted the collaboration’s vision and commitment to a sustainable building model. Ignacio Zamora, Guardian Glass Iberia Sales Manager, emphasized providing professionals with the tools and knowledge to design buildings that combine occupant comfort with environmental value.

Aligned with ESG principles, the partnership advances a greener, more efficient built environment.

Managing director Russell Yates and health & safety manager Sophie Bragg accepted the membership certificate from CAB chief executive Nigel Headford. Yates emphasized aluminium’s 100% recyclability, highlighting its growing importance as specifiers increasingly focus on embodied carbon in construction. He noted that the scheme provides a timely, collective response to future sustainability demands.

Bragg stressed that the initiative is not only about increasing the amount of recycled aluminium, but also its quality. By separating alloys, such as the 6-series used in window and door extrusions, the scheme ensures that extrusions are recycled back into extrusions, maximizing efficiency.

As CAB president, Yates urged wider participation, encouraging fabricators and installers to join and help shape a true cradle-to-cradle aluminium economy.

Created through a process of chemical treatment and compression, Superwood is ten times stronger by weight than steel, yet six times lighter. Its unique structure makes it not only exceptionally durable but also resistant to fire, water, pests, and rot, issues that have traditionally limited wood’s role in large-scale construction.

For the building sector, the implications are enormous. Steel and concrete, the backbone of modern infrastructure, account for a significant share of global carbon emissions. Superwood offers a greener alternative, slashing up to 90% of the pollution associated with steel production. By tapping into a renewable resource and transforming it into a high-performance material, Superwood provides a viable pathway toward low-carbon buildings and sustainable cities.

Beyond sustainability, Superwood promises efficiency. Its lightweight nature could reduce transportation costs, ease installation on-site, and open new design possibilities for architects and engineers. From skyscrapers to bridges, Superwood could enable taller, lighter, and more resilient structures, without compromising safety or longevity.

This new model retains all the advantages of the VPFlowScope M insertion flow meter while featuring an optimized design that allows for use in pipes as small as 1 inch, ensuring maximum accuracy with minimal pressure loss.

The VPFlowScope M is a versatile 4-in-1 insertion flow meter designed for compressed air and technical gases. It simultaneously measures bi-directional flow, pressure, temperature, and total flow. Like all VPFlowScope M models, the P220 can be installed under pressure. It’s the ideal solution for both audits and permanent installations to gain insight into your system’s performance.

Enhanced design for superior performance
The newly engineered sensor tip of the VPFlowScope M P220 ensures an ultra-low blockage factor, significantly reducing pressure drop over the sensor. This enhancement ensures that you can achieve accurate measurements even in 1-inch pipes. This optimization makes it particularly suited to compact systems where minimizing pressure loss is crucial for performance.

Enhanced safety and installation efficiency
Safety is always a priority at VPInstruments. The VPFlowScope M P220 features an improved safety coupling, enabling safe insertion under pressure for quicker and simpler installations. Its reduced insertion length also makes it perfect for tight or hard-to-reach spaces, streamlining both installation and maintenance. This means minimal disruption to existing systems and allows for easy replacement when needed.

Benefits of under-pressure installation
Unlike in-line flow-meters, the VPFlowScope M P220 can be installed under pressure, which eliminates the need to halt operations. This feature is invaluable for facilities with continuous processes, as it minimizes downtime and operational disruptions, saving time and resources.
