Use the natural warmth outside your windows to heat the whole building


25/05/2010
 

The key to reducing carbon emissions from buildings is to use less fossil fuel and by utilizing a relatively new piece of technology called a heat pump, you can achieve significant cost savings. The heat pump is used to pull or withdraw renewable energy from the environment and amplifying the electrical energy.

Heat pump systems such as those produced by Mitsubishi Electric, can be used in place of a conventional gas or oil fired boiler for producing hot water and cooling in the summer.

Lower Carbon Emissions

Most people now accept that reducing emissions of carbon dioxide is important, and one way is to utilize this new technology and getting rid of the old systems. Heat pumps have a big future extracting heat from the residual air. A number of models have been approved by the government and listed qualify for the government’s Enhanced Capital Allowances. This is a taxable benefit to encourage the use of energy efficient equipment, allowing the costs of the equipment to be written off in the same year as it is purchased.
