  1. Millions of homes across the UK require energy efficiency upgrades, report reveals

    Leave a Comment

    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.).

    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.

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

    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.

  3. High-rise flats in Smethwick to undergo major improvement works

    A number of high-rise flats in Smethwick, West Midlands, are set to undergo an £11m makeover as part of the partnership between professional services experts at Keepmoat and the Sandwell Council, a recent news report was able to reveal.

    As part of this ambitious project, the blocks will get new roofs, energy efficient external cladding and residents’ flats will benefit from new windows and balconies.

    The works are set to change the external of the buildings with a refreshed look, which will not only improve the aesthetics for the community but also help to reduce fuel bills for the residents and increase the lifespan of the buildings themselves.

    Neil Baxter, Keepmoat’s Regional Director for the West Midlands, said: “We’re looking forward to working closely with Sandwell over the next two years to help the council deliver its ambitions to improve the quality of local housing for residents.

    “Improving the standard of housing is crucial for delivering community regeneration and this comprehensive programme of work will make a real difference to people’s homes.”

    Any major redevelopment and improvement project should include solid and efficient energy efficiency provisions.

  4. How to slash energy bills and cut CO2 emissions

    Housing across the UK accounts for 27% of the country’s CO2 emissions, but this figure will have to be further pushed down in order to attain the target of 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050.

    In order to do so, home owners will have to put in specific measures designed to make their heating systems more energy efficient, while also better insulating their homes.

    Knowsley Housing Trust gives a few noteworthy examples of immediate and effective measures that could be implemented in order to reduce emissions and cut energy bills. The trust has undertaken over the last 10 years to push properties up to the Decent Homes Standards has contributed to a 54% carbon reduction across housing and has also helped tenants save £8.2m in energy bills.

    Measures implemented by the team include improving the insulation and airtightness of the properties, which deliver huge social and environmental benefits. It is possible to achieve huge carbon reduction levels in housing, helping people to live comfortably while reducing their energy bills.

    The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves represent some of the easiest to install and most cost-effective energy-saving measures out there, as they 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.).
