   Total investments in the energy efficient buildings sector reached £60bn in 2014, a recent research report published by financial services firm Standard & Poor’s has been able to reveal.

   The interest in energy efficiency has also led to growth in bonds raised by companies such as Schneider Electric which issued €200 million in (£131m) green bonds last month, it states.

   The report reads that “Investors are becoming increasingly interested in low carbon investment opportunities – such as energy efficiency projects – which for their part are looking to attract financing.”

   However it adds energy efficiency projects like those in the building sector are “less established and still raise questions for investors about how they will be repaid and the credit risk they face”.

   In terms of implementing energy efficiency projects, wireless programmable thermostatic radiator valves offer the best ROIs and lowest overall installation costs. The HeatSave wireless TRVs enable users to set specific functioning times for each valve, and, since radiators are individually controlled, occupants are fully capable to maximise the zoning potential and reduce energy consumption in those areas that are not used for longer periods of time (as for example, dining or sitting rooms and kitchens during the night, etc.).

   Additionally, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves also provide an automatic exercising feature when unused for 7 days, whose purpose is to minimise seizing of radiator valves in warmer months.

   All in all, the HeatSave TRVs enable users to achieve some pretty impressive savings, as they will help reduce your heating bills by up to 30%, especially when coupled with the HeatingSave Building Energy Management System.

   More than 5 million properties across the UK have received no energy efficiency upgrades whatsoever, a new report by consumer group Which? has been able to reveal.

   The group s calling for a switch to a long-term “local approach”, partly funded by a levy on energy suppliers and paid into a central pot.

   The funds would be allocated to local authorities to roll-out energy saving measures from 2017.

   The UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC) agreed the need for a local approach to boost home energy efficiency.

   Policy and Public Affairs Officer Richard Twinn added: “The real game changer however would be for Government to back energy efficiency with infrastructure funds to create a programme that would not only transform the UK’s cold and draughty homes but create jobs and make additional money for Treasury.”

   Wireless programmable thermostatic radiator valves offers the best returns in terms of energy efficiency. The HeatSave wireless TRVs enable users to set specific functioning times for each valve, and, since radiators are individually controlled, home owners are fully capable to maximise the zoning potential and reduce energy consumption in those areas that are not used for longer periods of time (as for example, dining or sitting rooms and kitchens during the night, etc.).

   Scottish households have been able to save in excess of £9.8m over the past six months by switching electricity supplier, new figures released by the DECC have been able to reveal.

   The Department of Energy and Climate Change launched a campaign last month to encourage people to shop around when it comes to the energy market.

   It released data on Tuesday as part of the Power To Switch campaign, which revealed that 26,000 homes in Edinburgh saved around £1.8m while 30,000 Glasgow households saved some £2.1m.

   Energy Secretary Ed Davey said: “Switching puts money back in people’s pockets and, thanks to our reforms, thousands are taking advantage of cheaper deals and a more competitive market.

   “We want even more people to join the thousands who are switching and saving today.”

   If you’ve already chosen the lowest possible tariff from your favourite energy supplier and you are now looking at ways to cut your energy usage even more, then you should definitely take a good look at the HeatSave valves.

   In terms of affordable, yet effective energy saving measures, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective energy-saving measures on the market. They are particularly suitable for retrofitting, since one simply has to remove the existing TRV and replace it with the HeatSave unit.

   A local council has proved extremely successful in cutting carbon in its buildings, vehicles and street lights, a recent news report on the matter has been able to reveal.

   The North Tyneside Council has reduced its carbon consumptions by 15 per cent in the past four years and is well on track to realise its target of a 34 per cent reduction in its carbon footprint by 2015-16.

   The council has embarked on a number of major investment schemes to cut energy use, this includes; installing LED lighting in public buildings, investment in ‘dimming and trimming’ street lighting and improving energy efficiency in its schools, leisure centres and sheltered accommodation.

   It has also worked in partnership with other agencies to reduce the borough’s carbon footprint, including North Tyneside Warm Zone which has insulated over 16,000 homes saving residents £2.3m a year on fuel bills and approximately 395,000 tonnes of carbon over the next 40 years.

5. Average UK household will spend around £60,000 on energy bills over a lifetime

   January 2, 2015 11:17 am Leave a Comment

   UK home owners will spend around £60,000 on energy bills over a lifetime, recent analysis published today by uSwitch.com was able to reveal.

   The survey also found that households could save around £10,000 over a lifetime or £228 annually by switching to more competitive tariffs.

   Over a third (37%) of people surveyed said they would use the savings towards a rainy day fund, 23% would pay off their debts and a fifth (21%) would put it towards the cost of a holiday.

   Energy UK which represents energy suppliers responded by saying: “Make it your New Year’s resolution to make sure you are on the best deal – click, call and switch in 2015 to keep household bills as low as possible. Over three million people switched last year and with more than twenty-five energy companies to choose from there are great deals to be had.”

   While switching suppliers is certainly a noteworthy idea, the truth of the matter is that implementing an energy management system designed to help you control each radiator in your house individually will drive down your bills even more (by at least 20 to 30 percent).

   If you’re looking for a sure-fire solution designed to slash energy spending by controlling each radiator in your house separately, then the HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the perfect tools for this job.

   The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective and efficient energy management products on the market. They are particularly suitable for retrofitting, since one simply has to remove the existing TRV and replace it with the HeatSave unit.

   Remotely controlled via an easily-accessible web interface, the HeatSave valves enable users to achieve impressive savings, slashing one’s heating bills by up to 30%, especially when coupled with the HeatingSave Building Energy Management System.

6. ‘Control Your Home’ campaign to help householders cut heating bills through better control of their heating system

   November 25, 2014 11:32 am Leave a Comment

   BEAMA, the electrotechnical supply chain trade association, has recently launched a campaign to push for the implementation of heating controls in every home, with the aim of helping home owners cut their energy bills and reduce fuel poverty across the UK.

   Government figures released this year show that nearly half of centrally heated homes in the UK don’t have both a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, the minimum requirements for new systems under the building regulations.

   At the same time, recent research at Salford University shows that adding these controls to a conventional central heating system reduces the running costs of that system by 40%.

   The ‘Control Your Home’ campaign is a way for the heating industry to work together to help householders reduce their heating bills through better control of their heating system. This will provide real benefits to householders as well as extra business for the supply chain. A win win story!

   “Fitting heating controls is a cost-effective energy saving measure that millions of households can do straightaway,” said Colin Timmins from BEAMA Heating Controls. “We need to show householders how a few simple controls can both reduce their bills and improve their comfort.”

   “Heating controls can be fitted at anytime, not just when replacing a boiler. The campaign information will support installers advising their customers to fit controls, maybe when doing a boiler service or other visit.”

   If you’re looking for a sure-fire solution designed to slash energy spending by controlling each radiator in your house separately, then the HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the perfect tools for this job.

   A new campaign aimed at helping households fallen into fuel poverty slash their energy bills has been recently launched by the Scottish Government.

   The Home Energy Scotland campaign aims to provide householders with free and impartial advice on support to help cut energy bills, whatever their circumstances might be. It will provide accurate information on energy efficiency measures and help fuel poor homes install such measures, including insulation and heating systems.

   As part of this far-reaching initiative, the Government will shortly be inviting bids for a contract, worth up to £224 million over seven years, to deliver a new national fuel poverty scheme from 2015.

   The new scheme will deliver energy efficiency measures such as better insulation and heating systems, helping to create warmer and greener homes for thousands of Scots.

8. Sheltered accommodation residents protest against heating system modifications

   September 23, 2014 10:26 am Leave a Comment

   A sheltered housing provider has come under fire after residents complained about not being able to alter the heating in their own homes.

   Concerned residents argued that Anchor, which manages High Lee House, on Broad Road, in Sale, Cheshire, installed a new boiler in the building in March. Since the boiler is controlled externally, residents are not able to alter heating within their flats.

   People living in the building have organised a petition against the heating changes which 23 of the 25 flats have signed up to and have had several meetings with their ward councillor on this topic.

   On the other hand, Anchor has claimed that the heating in High Lee is never turned off, but rather, is always maintained between 21 and 24 degrees Celsius. Andrew Appleton, district manager for High Lee House, said Anchor’s heating policy is based on Age UK advice and the company has “a duty of care to provide a safe, comfortable environment at all of our locations”.

   When individual heating controls are required for an apartment connected to a central heating systems, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective control system on the market.

   With HeatSave, users are able to set specific functioning times for each valve, maximizing the zoning potential and reducing energy consumption in those areas that are not used for longer periods of time (as for example, dining or sitting rooms and kitchens during the night, etc.).

   Additionally, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves also provide an automatic exercising feature when unused for 7 days, whose purpose is to minimise seizing of radiator valves in warmer months.

9. Smart meters will help consumers save “only 2%” on their annual bills, a committee of MPs warn

   September 10, 2014 10:25 am Leave a Comment

   Consumers will save, on the average, just around £26 a year (or around 2% of their annual bills) after installing a smart meter, MPs on the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) have argued.

   Installing the meters will cost £215 per household, with consumers in 53 million homes being charged an annual amount on their bills to cover the cost, peaking at £11 a year in 2017. And in spite of these sizeable costs, smart meters will save only 2% on energy bills, say MPs.

   “Despite consumers footing the bill, they can on average make a saving of only 2% on the average annual bill of £1,328 by the time the roll out is complete,” said Margaret Hodge, the chair of the PAC.

   “Even this is conditional on consumers changing their behaviour and cutting their energy use,” she added.

   Cutting energy use a direct result of behavioural change is by far the least secure method of attaining lower bills. However, if you’re looking for a way to actively cut your energy costs while in the same time maintaining a very good level of comfort wherever you might be around the house, then the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves are just the thing.

   The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the most cost-effective energy-saving measures one can implement, as they enable users to set specific functioning times for each valve. Plus, since radiators are individually controlled, home owners are fully capable to maximise the zoning potential and reduce energy consumption in those areas that are not used for longer periods of time (as for example, dining or sitting rooms and kitchens during the night, etc.).

10. London energy efficiency retrofitting scheme gets new cash boost

    September 1, 2014 11:38 am Leave a Comment

    New funding amounting to almost £12m to expand a programme aimed at making homes and public buildings in London more efficient has been announced.

    The cash influx will be used for retrofitting a variety of energy-saving measures, including LED lighting, new boilers, insulation, and the installation of heat and power networks, solar panels, upgrading boilers, and double glazing.

    Since the launch of the scheme, back in 2008, more than 400,000 homes and more than 350 public buildings across the city have undergone extensive energy efficiency upgrades.

    Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: “We need to do everything possible to make the most of our resources, reduce carbon emissions and create a more secure, cost-effective and sustainable heat and power supply across London.

    “Retrofitting older homes and buildings has a pivotal part to play in this, while also helping to save us all money on fuel bills. With these innovative energy saving technologies, London is leading the way as a 21st Century world city.”

    The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective energy-saving measures on the market. They are particularly suitable for retrofitting, since one simply has to remove the existing TRV and replace it with the HeatSave unit.
