HEATING, VENTILATION AND SERVICES
incredibly heavy vehicles, often running 18 tyres on one vehicle, so it’s very easy to see how this statement of “750 times more pollution” simply does not add up!
ECODESIGN 2022
The new Ecodesign Regulations for solid-fuel space heating appliances came into force on 1 January 2022. Any appliance manufactured from this date must now comply not only with increased appliance efficiency targets (75% minimum) but also provide an 88%
improvement on permitted CO2 emissions. There are also strict emission limits for particulate matter (PM), organic gaseous compounds (OGC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
based on an HGV in a laboratory test environment, measuring exhaust fumes, while the stove emissions were measured when on full output. The big issue surrounding the test is that it didn’t measure the emissions from HGVs, which come from their brakes and tyres (as they wear during use). According to Emissions Analytics, pollution from tyres can be up to 1,000 greater than emissions from exhaust fumes. HGVs are
WHAT IS ‘READY TO BURN’? The Ready to Burn initiative is for wood and log producers, having a distinct certification category for dry firewood. Ready to Burn logs are marketed as such, and they are guaranteed to have a moisture content at or below 20%. This should not only give confidence among consumers that they are buying correctly seasoned wood, but the initiative should also help raise awareness of the importance of correctly seasoned wood too. Some stove owners may not be aware of the vital importance of correctly
An Ecodesign stove will emit virtually no visible smoke, and up to 90% fewer emissions than an open fire and up to 80% less than a 10- year-old stove
seasoned wood. Burning seasoned wood correctly significantly lowers emissions from a stove. Stoves are a key part of the future of heating. As we move towards Ecodesign Ready, the way forward is only burning seasoned wood, and avoiding open fires.
