Intelligent heating controller cuts down carbon emissions of a building

The UK’s first Climate Week, which takes place between March 21 and 27, 2011, is seven days dedicated to showing how we can combat climate change. Organisations from every part of society are planning activities for Climate Week, when winners of the prestigious Climate Week Awards will be announced. Entries can be submitted right now in a range of categories which include initiatives by businesses, community groups and public services.

A piece of technology that deserves nomination for a Climate Week Award is HeatingSave, an intelligent controller that constantly calculates and improves the efficiency and savings of your central heating system and cuts down on a building’s carbon emissions. Your boiler has a flow and return pipe carrying the heated water to your radiators and hot water cylinder. There should be several degrees’ difference between these if your heating system is working efficiently. HeatingSave constantly monitors the flow and return temperature, adjusting the boiler temperature to keep your boiler running efficiently – making savings of up to 8 per cent.
