  1. Investment in energy efficient buildings reached £60bn in 2014

    Leave a Comment

    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.

    Up to 14.3 million dual fuel customers of the Big Six energy suppliers are paying on average £235 too much each year, smaller supplier First Utility has recently claimed.

    It claimed that two-thirds of Big Six customers are on the most expensive tariffs. Customers can opt for fixed tariffs which are set for up to three years and provide price stability. But if a customer does not renew their fixed tariff they usually go automatically onto a standard variable tariff where the bill will reflect the ups and downs of market prices for energy.

    McCaig, CEO, First Utility said: “The UK energy industry has contrived to put itself in a situation where around two-thirds of its customers are on the most expensive energy tariff the industry has to offer, namely the ‘standard variable tariff’.

    “That simply can’t be right and is even more inexcusable in a climate where wholesale prices have been coming down.”

    While switching suppliers will certainly reduce one’s energy bills, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves can do a lot more than that.

    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. Village hall set to implement energy saving measures after securing council grant

    Leave a Comment

    A village hall is set to cut its gas and electricity bills after implementing a range of energy saving measures using a grant secured from the local council, a news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

    Stevington Village Hall received the necessary funding from Bedford Borough Council under the Mayor’s Climate Change grant scheme.

    Under the scheme, community projects that would reduce carbon emissions within Bedford borough can win a grant which would award projects up to 50% match-funding of between £5k and £20k for improvements.

    Funding was granted to Stevington Hall to reduce the hall’s emissions and running costs by replacing the boilers and removing the electric showers, water heaters and electrical heating appliances. The single-glazed windows and doors were also replaced with double-glazed UPVC equivalents; reducing heat loss and meaning fewer draughts and cold spots. Both changing rooms at the village hall now also have radiator central heating and improved showers.

    The hall’s chairman Steve Cole, who applied for the grant on behalf of Stevington Parish Council, said: “I can now report that all the work has been completed, improving the hall’s domestic water system immensely and providing much better control of our central heating system. It has given the village hall a new lease of life! We are looking forward to having reduced energy bills which means we can put more money into running community events.”

    While new boilers and double-glazed UPVC windows will certainly help drive down energy consumption, the HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves could help village halls attain even more impressive savings, since facilities managers will be able to thoroughly control each radiator in the building.

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

    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.

    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.

  5. Sheltered accommodation residents protest against heating system modifications

    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.

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

    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.

  10. £145m in funding secured to bring London homes back to good standards

    Leave a Comment

    The Mayor of London has managed to secure £145m of Government ‘Decent Homes Funding’ that will be used to bring homes across London back to good standards, both in terms of energy efficiency and general repairs, a recent news report on the matter was able to reveal.

    As part of this initiative, over 175,000 homes will benefit from carbon-reducing renovations that could save residents up to £180 annually on energy bills. Properties will be given a range of cost effective measures including boiler upgrades, insulation and heating upgrades.

    The energy-saving improvements, worth at least £50 million, should be put in place by 2017. Support is expected to initially focus on large landlords, predominantly stock-owning London boroughs and housing associations but the team will also be aiming to support environmental retrofit activity on a much wider scale.

    Mayor of London Mr Boris Johnson said: “This vital Decent Homes investment will enable us to help boroughs transform some of the poorest quality council estates and social housing in need of urgent repair.

    “Many families are also rightly concerned at the cost of their energy bills so I’m delighted to be able to put in place a programme of energy-saving measures for homes across the capital. This will result in renovations that lower energy bills for thousands of residents.”
