32 SUSTAINABILITY & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Small changes for big energy saving Initiatives to save energy and reduce carbon emissions ignore the massive value of new home heating controls, says Honeywell. 85% of domestic energy is for heating and hot water, but only 3% for lighting. The right choice of heating controls also helps the boiler operate more efficiently and prolongs its life. Honeywell’s new DT90 range of wireless and wired digital room thermostats provides more accurate temperature control than traditional home thermostats & uniquely also saves energy by matching boiler firing to the load on the heating system.

Low energy living
Copper Recycling figures recently released by international metals specialist Luvata add to the impressive sustainability credentials of the company’s Nordic range of copper architectural products. Luvata’s Nordic range is exceptional with 97% of copper produced for roofing and cladding applications during 2008 coming from recycled material. The impact on both energy consumption and global warming potential is clear with independently assessed, declared figures of 46MJ/m2
and 2.56kg/m2
respectively. Click here to request literature
Total rainwater
re-use solution Polypipe Terrain has responded to the growing need for sustainable rainwater management systems by launching a new single-source solution for the capture, storage and re-use of rainwater.

Minister sees low
Carbon investment Scotland’s Housing and Communities Minister Alex Neil, has seen the potential that air source heat pumps can offer for himself, with a visit to the Livingston factory of Mitsubishi Electric, where the Ecodan®
residential
heating system is
manufactured.Ecodan extracts latent heat from the outdoor air and works in temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees centigrade.
It
requires just a small amount of electricity – no oil or gas – and takes renewable energy from the air to deliver up to four times more heating energy than the electricity consumed. Click here to request literature
