HEATING, VENTILATION & SERVICES FOCUS INTERIORS


Manufacturers have worked tirelessly with industry bodies such as HETAS and the Stove Industry Association supporting their dedicated campaigns and Defra Government campaigns to inform retailers of the Ready to Burn and Ecodesign Ready branding, providing free point of sale information for consumers and technical bulletins for the industry and trade.


This is alongside updated training


requirements for teams in direct liaison with the consumers and working with education providers to ensure that stove retailers and installers understand their role in educating the consumer on the benefits of buying the right stove and using an accredited installer, using the correct fuels, and ensuring regular servicing/chimney sweeping. The goal throughout was to safeguard consumers, which is the best way to impact positively on the level of emissions from domestic burning. This education on how to use and operate wood burning stoves also had a positive impact on air quality, and gave the consumer some confidence, knowing that the chimney and stove would last longer.


The impact on stoves means that they must be designed to burn wood more completely, resulting in a higher heat


• Milligram per cubic metre (mg/ m3


) is a unit of measurement for concentration. It is generally used in measurement of pollutants in the air. In comparison to traditional non-Ecodesign wood burning stoves, studies show a reduction of 80-94% in emissions when comparing a direct replacement with an Ecodesign stove, and a whopping 90% reduction if swapping to a stove from an open fire. The fuel consumption is also greatly reduced giving the consumer a sound economic benefit too. his cemented our existing approach to designing stoves with the environment in mind. We all have an environmental


output and improving their efficiency, with less waste. It also sees cleaner operating stoves meeting stringent emission standards, significantly reducing the amount of particulates released into the air.


The emissions are measured and


broken down into four contributors and measured in milligrams per cubic metre. • Particulate matter (PMs) • Organic gaseous compounds (OGC) • Carbon monoxide (CO) • Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

responsibility, and the importance isn’t to be underestimated. By reducing our emissions we can help improve the air quality, mitigate the effects of climate change through positive contribution of efforts against it, and in the reduction of wood needed, thus promoting better sustainable forestry practices. All of which represents a significant step forward in making home heating more sustainable and environmentally friendly, making an Ecodesign stove a great choice for your home and the planet.
