68 HEATING & RENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPLEMENT
ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS TO ACHIEVE A HOMELY ATMOSPHERE IS TO INSTALL AN ELECTRIC FIRE
Gas offers a similar degree of conven- ience, with most offering remote control access, and some even offering app-based control. Living flames can be turned on or
Consort Claudgen launches app
Consort Claudgen have launched Consort Connect app which allows users to have complete control over their heating remotely via their smartphone or tablet.

It’s hard to imagine designing your dream home without a real fire at its heart, there to cosy around on a cold winters night. A Fondis insert fire gives you the crackling flames, warmth and firelight of a traditional fireplace but with the efficiency, controlla- bility and low emissions of a modern stove, and all without compromising the build- ing’s air tightness and insulation value. With
its all-glass guillotine door that slides up and away at the lift of a finger, it is easy to light and simple to operate. And if there’s a power cut, it’s there to keep you warm. Please visit the Firepower website for more information.

off at the touch of a button, and some are even available for fitting into the internal leaf of a cavity wall – so no chimney is required at all. It’s a happy medium
between the ultra-modern electric fireplace, and the real woodburner. Finally, for most, the allure of real flames and logs is what draws them into purchasing a woodburning stove, but many believe a real woodburner is out of their reach if they own a new build property as typically it is only older houses that come ready with a chimney for making their own. By simply opting for a prefabricated system that works in the same way as a chimney, a developer is able to not only offer all of the appeal of the new build property, but also the real experience of burning wood in the home – offering the customer all of the character and charm they might otherwise believe is not possible from a brand new build.

Three RIBA accredited CPD courses released
Domus Ventilation has released three RIBA accredited CPD courses on residential ventilation. The courses are designed to improve architects’ understanding of ventilation in residential new builds. Each RIBA accredited CPD covers the basic
principles of ventilation and why it is so important to provide adequate ventilation in modern energy efficient homes, not only for the health of the occupants but also for the fabric of the building. From here, the CPDs take different paths: the first addresses recent changes to Part F - Ventilation of the Building Regulations; the second looks at Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system design; whilst the third focuses on how to successfully integrate mechanical ventilation into a project.
