Press Cuttings - Perspective, Sep-Oct 04 CUTTING HEATING BILLSFocus Housing recently commissioned Lovell Homes to build 30 new houses in the Castle Vale area of Birmingham, installing state-of-the-art solar air/water heating and ventilation systems - called Sunwarm. Sunwarm from Nuaire, is a single system that provides home heating/cooling, ventilation and hot water, by harnessing the sun's energy. At the heart of the system there is a ventilation network and set of solar panels. On the Castle Vale site two solar panels will be mounted on the roof of each of the properties where the heat generated from the sun is captured, and then circulated round the house using a ventilation system. When this heating is not needed in the home, it is diverted automatically to the hot water system storage tank, in order to fully utilise the free solar energy. Sunwarm, solar air/water heating and ventilation systems are being installed on 30 houses in the Castle Vale area of Birmingham. [ Back to Index ] |
