A new web-based information and communication exchange has been launched by BSRIA. It is designed to provide more effective communication and collaboration between building services companies and research and academia.

The Building Services Technical Exchange will develop the system originally created by FETA to meet the needs of the HEVACR sector. The new site (www.bstechex. co.uk) also provides a means of exchanging files over the Internet; plus a wealth of information is provided for SMEs seeking advice on sources of funding in the UK and Europe.
