Let's Construct our future today
Carbon Dioxide is the most important of the green house gases which are contributing to climate change.
There is no easy technical way to deal with CO2; the best way to reduce it along with other emissions is to us less energy and equally importantly obtaining the best value from the energy that we use. Our principal aim is to promote the concept of renewable energy, utilising either “Ground Source” or “Air Source” heat pumps as an environmentally preferable method of heating & cooling buildings.
Heat pumps are an energy efficiency product and an ideal means of reducing energy consumption, saving as much as 75% of the energy, and the corresponding CO2 emissions, in comparison to heating systems using fossil fuels. Our systems cut your bills and give you back security and control.
Heat pumps already play an important role in energy systems in some regions of the world. But if this technology is to achieve more widespread use, a decisive effort is needed to stimulate heat pump markets and to further optimise the technology.
- The UK market continues to grow at a very fast pace – with installed capacity doubling and installation increasing by 60%
- 3,000 to 4,000 hits on web site each month
- 20 to 30 enquiries each week (by phone / email)

What's renewable energy?
Renewable energy generally refers to energy derived from non-fossil fuel resources. It often includes wind, biomass, geothermic etc. However; the definition may vary depending on which new energy technology development is being promoted.
Our systems of geothermal & thermal inverter heat pumps represent the best of both technologies, using the air or the ground as the source of heat energy without polluting the environment, and then transferring this heat into a building to provide a constant temperature, even in the cold of winter.
The World fact:
The global CO2 emissions in 1997 amounted to 22 billion tonnes, building heating accounts for 30% and industrial activities 35%. The potential reduction in CO2 emissions through the use of heat pumps is calculated as follows:
6.6 billion tonnes CO2 come from heating buildings (30% of total emissions).
1.0 billion tonnes can be saved by residential and commercial heat pumps, assuming that they can provide 30% of the heating for buildings, with an emission reduction of 50%.
A minimum of 0.2 billion tonnes can be saved by industrial heat pumps Source: ( http://www.heatpumpcentre.org/) |
