This Christmas, VIR is supporting SOS Villaggi dei Bambini (at the International level SOS Children’s Villages) to ensure that the most vulnerable children have a family and a community environment where they can develop their full potential. SOS Children’s Villages was founded by Hermann Gmeiner, a young medical student who had witnessed firsthand the suffering of so many children orphaned after World War II. In 1949, he opened the first SOS Village in Imst, Tyrol-Austria; more than 70 years later, SOS Children’s Villages’ presence has grown to more than 130 countries and territories around the world. In Italy, the Organization promotes the rights of over 39.000 children and young people and takes care of over 700 people, through 8 Programs and SOS Villages in Trento, Ostuni (Brindisi), Vicenza, Saronno (Varese), Mantua, Turin, Crotone and Milan. Help us support children and their families to ensure every child’s right to grow up …

VIR proudly supplied its valves for the Leonardo supercomputer, the fourth most powerful computer in the world. Located at the Tecnopolo, in the heart of Bologna’s mechanical hub, the supercomputer is capable of performing millions of billions of operations per second and is considered as an infrastructure per se. Leonardo processes weather forecasts and climate studies, but also of projects in the field of materials physics and fluid dynamics. Leonardo’s energy efficiency is achieved through a direct circulating liquid cooling system residing on top of the computing motherboards. That’s where VIR valves came into play: this cooling allows 95% of the heat dissipated inside the rack to be extracted and reused for different purposes.

Did you know that VIR already offers a wide selection of Revit models of its products on BIM and is constantly expanding its Revit model range? VIR was one of the early adopters of BIM (Building Information Modeling), as our company was always aware of the growing need for designers, engineers and architects alike for detailed digitalised models of their projects. The optimisation of digitalised models in the field of construction is of the outmost importance: a well-built digital building is the keystone of a successful cooperation between all the stakeholders of a project. VIR is therefore BIM ready and offers a free download of Revit models of its items that are most commonly used in large projects involving BIM. The models can be downloaded here
