LGhas received MCS approval for its Therma V High Temperature heat pump. This model of the popular Therma V range of air to water heat pumps from LG can deliver hot water at up to 80 degrees C. The new high temperature version of the unit is ideal for projects where replacement of an older heating system with an air source heat pump is required and other energy effi- ciency measures are not feasible. The LG High Temperature unit is ideal for combining with hot water cylinders or thermal stores and has already been
successfully linked with other renewable technologies including solar PV.

Windmill turns to silicate paint
In the conservation village of Barnham, a traditional Suffolk windmill was converted into a home after World War II. Originally built in the 1820s, the local brick is soft and the windmill has suffered with damp for much of its life.
Damp rising through the bricks from the ground should have been able to evaporate away - instead, it was sealed in the wall by the exterior coatings and acrylic paint inside. The build up of moisture eventually caused blown paint and damage to walls.
The owners decided there was only one solution. Remove all coatings from the exterior, then apply a breathable masonry paint. Earthborn's Ecopro silicate masonry system is water based, oil and acrylic free, making it virtually VOC free and very environmentally friendly. It gives the same breathability as limewash but is far superior in terms of longevity and ease of use. Together, the primer and paint form a chemical bond with the underlying mineral substrate. This produces a very hard wearing, water and weather resistant barrier, but it is also highly breathable, so

safeguarding the windmill's fabric for future generations. Ecopro Silicate Masonry Paint is available in 24 standard shades and bespoke colours can be produced by Earthborn stockists such as Celtic Sustainables which supplied this project.
