After over 450 years, the oldest scientific garden in the world has been renovated, with a project seeking to enhance the existing part and a 15 thousand square metre extension, with five glass and steel greenhouses located within a 100 metre-long glass and steel gallery. Each glasshouse is the perfect reproduction of a climatic region of the plant, from the warmest and most fertile to the most extreme. Thanks to technology, the glasshouses have their own life, as a matter of fact “the building with the glasshouses also behaves like a plant. In other words, it purifies air, generates energy and holds water,” says architect Giorgio Strapazzon of the firm VS Associati, which developed the project for the new Botanical Garden. For air conditioning of the whole glasshouse building, the firm VS Associati has opted for the prestige and quality of products made by Sabiana, which supplied its Helios and Comfort air heaters, constructed according to criteria of sturdiness and safety and with a keen eye for design as always. The new garden will be one of the peak achievements showcased at the Italy Pavilion of Expo 2015.

The focus on continuous product innovation and energy savings of the SkyStar and Carisma CRC fan coils were the two features that most contributed to Sabiana’s being awarded the most important contract in Europe: the one to increase the indoor comfort of Torre Pelli (or Unicredit Tower) and the whole Varesine Porta Nuova complex. "Porta Nuova represents the most important redevelopment project of an urban centre in Europe, fully implemented with a focus on environmental sustainability. Being asked to contribute represents a further recognition of our expertise in the field of energy saving air conditioning of large complexes,” said with pride Giorgio Pellegrini, Sabiana’s Managing Director.

Corbetta, 27 June 2014 - As of 1 July 2014 Sabiana S.p.A. will become a part of AFG, Arbonia-Forster-Holding AG, and will therefore be able to benefit from a wider product range on offer, as well as from the AFG distribution network for residential construction. Furthermore, through AFG Sabiana S.p.A. will have the opportunity to be active on markets worldwide. Following the agreement, the customers of Sabiana and AFG will be able to count on the complete product range of the AFG Building Technique division in all sectors: heating of industrial, retail and residential buildings; industrial and retail ventilation; environmentally compatible air conditioning technologies; improvement of indoor air quality. The choice made by the two families who own the company was dictated by the wish to ensure Sabiana has a future beyond personal fate, by transferring the company to managerial leadership. AFG is an international group, technological leader in the production of materials for construction. With its three divisions (Building Enclosures, Building Technique and Building Safety), it is able to cover all construction needs, both for the exterior and the interior of buildings.

In a year that might become the hottest ever recorded worldwide, this month our country recorded exceptionally high temperatures, at late spring levels, with severely affected glaciers. The temperatures well above the season’s average and ensuing fog raised the levels detected by the measurement stations of fine dust and other pollutants, the concentrations of which were extremely high in some cities. Fine dust that is not cleared by rain keeps circulating in our air, outdoors as well as in the home! And the quality of indoor air is a “hot” topic as shown by the conference on “Air quality assessment in confined residential and work spaces: a powerful prevention tool” that took place at the end of October in Lecco, actively promoted by the Public Health Laboratory of the Local Health Authority’s Prevention Department. “Prevention in residential and work spaces is the foundation of all actions taken to protect health and promote an ever better quality of life,” said Dr. Antonio Gattinoni, Health Director of the Lecco Local Health Authority. The conference allowed different professionals (preventive doctors, surveyors, biologists, engineers, architects, chemists) to exchange views on air quality in residential and work spaces and to indicate preventive and sanitising actions to be implemented in designing buildings and air handling systems.

Architects take the field to urge the Government not to waste the opportunity offered by the recently funded upgrade of school buildings. They identify in the Call for architectural projects the best tool to ensure projects lead by example in upgrading metropolitan spaces and are willing to offer to institutions their digital platforms that make the calls for architectural projects quick and cost-effective. They also offer to the Government and Municipalities the synthetic guidelines they have drawn up for upgrading existing schools and designing new school complexes. The recommendation to use energy saving installations stands out from the other guidelines. In this perspective, Sabiana offers a wide range of solutions, from radiators with electronic motor (electric consumption is equal to 25% of traditional ones), to high efficiency and very low pressure loss electronic filters, radiant ceiling panels able to assure the best possible comfort, energy consumption being equal.
