Hamworthy Solar Heats Community Housing
A new development in
Plaistow, East London,
is setting the trend for
renewable energy in
community housing,
with the installation of
63 ModuSol solar
collectors from
Hamworthy Heating.
Ecogale Services Ltd,
the M&E contractors for
the project, approached
Hamworthy Heating for
a compact and simple
to install solution and
chose the company’s products as it provided a space saving solution whilst
significantly reducing the building’s carbon footprint. Through Hamworthy’s
Technology Partner Programme, the solar collectors were installed by one of
its approved installers, Natural Power Wales.

Hansgrohe at Ecobuild 2010
On Stand 2220 at Ecobuild,
Hansgrohe demonstrates that no
compromise in design or quality is
required in order to save water with
their stylish range of water-saving
showers, taps and thermostatic
mixers. For example, the Crometta
85 Green. Thanks to a
combination of devised flow
regulation and central air intake,
this clever shower delivers just
6 litres of water per minute while
still providing great performance.
On 1st September 2009,
this shower was added to the
Water Technology List as part of
the government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme.
