Energy House 2.0 will contain two environmental chambers with the ability to achieve temperatures of between -20˚C to +40˚C and simulated wind, rain, snow, and solar light. The facility will target a global market, with environmental conditions of 95% of the world’s population able to be replicated in the facility. The ERDF funding for the project will enable small and medium sized companies free access to the facility and a range of existing laboratories to further the development of energy saving products, all supported by world leading research and academic expertise.

London Heathrow Airport is the largest and busiest airport in the United Kingdom and more international passengers pass through it than any other airport in the world. Owned and operated by BAA Ltd., London Heathrow is continually being developed and expanded as well as existing areas being refurbished and modernised to meet the growing needs of the modern traveller. The Midfield Pier 3 Project o n Heathrow’s Terminal 2 follows a long history of Trimo’s involvement in aviation projects at Heathrow and other UK airports and highlights the company’s growing expertise and portfolio in this sector. Forming part of the £1.5 billion Heathrow East project, the midfield Pier 3 component is a £105 million freestanding building on the airport’s Eastern Campus and is being undertaken by contractor Balfour Beatty. Although freestanding, the midfield pier i s a n integral part of the overall modernisation of the terminal. Lead Architects, Grimshaw, specified Trimo’s exciting and state-of-the art Qbiss One modular facade system as its combined functionality and non-compromising aesthetics was important to express the purpose of the building and the conditions under which it will be used. The horizontal orientation, together with the contrasting RAL 7016 and RAL 9006 riser colours, provided a visually striking appearance. Additionally, the use of Qbiss One with its optically smooth facade makes an impressive architectural statement on the landscape. In total some 1100 m2 of Qbiss One was specified on the project and was installed by specialist cladding installers, Lindner Schmidlin. Although on-going, this particular component of the project was completed late 2009, with Trimo’s involvement in the overall Terminal 2 revamp continuing on other areas. "The Qbiss One product was selected as it boasts a modular facade panel with expressed joints, folded tight corner details and can be easily adapted to interface with louvre systems without express flashings.” Julian Watt, Associate, Grimshaw

The Dutch architecture agency VBJ architecture & bouwmanagement in Veenendaal is used to designing for the automotive branche. The agency worked several times for the car industry before and also designed a new showroom for Porsche in Heteren, The Netherlands. At the end of year 2008 VBJ was commissioned to design a new Porsche Centre in Amsterdam. They decided to use the high-quality facade system Qbiss One for the outside building front.The new Porsche Centre does not have a real front or backside, it is all-round. The eyecatcher is the round shaped awninglike façade with view to the motorway. VBJ was looking for a facade elements that did not just look elegant but that was also fire-resistant and waterproof. Kristinsson was introduced to Qbiss One through the Dutch cladding firm Bijlbouw BV (which specialises in assembling sandwich panels) of the building contractor Pleijsier Bouw. “I had never heard of Qbiss One before, but the product completely comes up to our high expectations. The outdoor elements of Qbiss One is filled up with non-combustible mineral wool and is waterproof. We also like the high design level.” VBJ architecture & bouwmanagement already received many positive reactions to the project in Amsterdam. “Working with Qbiss One went very well and we will certainly work with it again.”
