Steve Richmond, Head of Marketing and Technical at REHAU Building Solutions, has been appointed President of the British Plastics Federation’s (BPF) Pipes Group, taking over from Richard Hill of ACO Technologies.

Polymer pipework specialist REHAU will showcase its market-leading polymer district heating solutions at Futurebuild 2022 from 1 to 3 March.

A prominent polymer system supplier is advocating the specification of more sustainable heating and cooling solutions in educational buildings following the publication of analysis suggesting most UK universities are not on track to hit emissions targets.

The new TABS whitepaper identifies issues around building overheating, air quality and sustainability, and the need to decarbonise new and existing buildings to meet net zero targets.
