BIMCRUNCH: your winter roundup!

BIMCRUNCH Winter Edition 2024 – the perfect companion to a cosy winter's day as we wrap up the year with innovation and inspiration.

This final edition of 2024 brings you the latest in sustainability, energy efficiency, and innovative design. This edition explores practical solutions for decarbonisation, the future of thermal storage, curated collections for inspired interiors, and insights driving progress and knowledge throughout the industry.
 

We begin with an exciting update as Showersave Joins bimstore. Launched in the Netherlands in 2007, Showersave introduced shower heat exchanger technology to the UK in 2008. Designed for new builds, retrofits, and commercial properties, Showersave is an innovative, low-maintenance solution supporting sustainability and fuel poverty targets.

Next, "Why Thermino Heat Batteries Are the Perfect Fit for Today's Building Challenges" spotlights Sunamp's compact solution for thermal storage. As heat pumps and solar PV become standard, traditional hot water cylinders often fall short for space-saving homes. Thermino, powered by Sunamp's Plentigrade phase change material, offers up to 4x the efficiency in a fraction of the space, making it ideal for modern energy systems.

Our bimstore Collections feature brings seasonal inspiration with the Living Room Collection. Get cosy this winter with BIM objects curated to transform spaces into stylish retreats. From sleek wooden floors to ambient lighting, the collection blends style and functionality to help you design inviting, timeless interiors.

We highlight "Driving Decarbonisation Together at _shift 2024", where the construction industry came together to tackle operational and embodied carbon. As part of Space Group, bimstore plays a vital role in facilitating this important conference annually. _shift 2024 continued its mission of driving innovative ideas and encouraging partnerships to advance the decarbonisation of the industry.

Winter brings its challenges, and "Step Up Your Winter Event Safety" from Sunbelt Rentals offers practical guidance on pedestrian planning to keep seasonal events safe and efficient.

For our Manufacturer in Focus, we turn to Michelmersh plc, known for their quality products that blend craftsmanship, innovation, and tradition to deliver exceptional performance. Since joining bimstore, Michelmersh's BIM content has attracted hundreds of thousands of views and downloads, reflecting their strong presence on the platform.

Professional growth is at the forefront as Zentia Launches a New CPD Hub. Designed to equip professionals with essential skills and knowledge, the platform supports career growth in a fast-evolving industry. Zentia is the UK's market-leading manufacturer of complete ceiling solutions. They make a wide range of mineral ceiling tiles, suspension grids, and floating ceiling systems.

Finally, Glidevale Protect Expands Its Fire-Rated Wall Membrane Range, reinforcing their commitment to safety, performance, and resilience in modern construction. Glidevale Protect has strengthened its flame retardant offering with the launch of its Protect FrameSafe 5000 FR external wall membrane designed for open façade cladding applications.
