Press Cuttings - Energy in buildings & Industry, Mar 05 SOLAR HEATING FOR KENTThe village of Westerham, near Sevenoaks, Kent is leading the way in the south east with solar heating and ventilation technology. A new development of three-bedroom enerqy efficient homes from West Kent Housing Association has had pioneering Sunwarm solar hot water/heating and ventilation systems installed. This project of six houses in total is a pilot scheme to trial the effectiveness of the Sunwarm System from Nuaire in the development of West Kent Housinq Association's affordable homes. West Kent Housing Association is keen to develop their use of eco technology and holds a history of involvement in related projects. Upon hearing about the Sunwarm System from their local Nuaire Sales Representative, they set about installing it in a suitable project. 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 a set of solar panels. The system was fitted by specialist renewable energy installers Cel-F Solar Systems of Kemsing Kent, who mounted two solar panels on the roof of each of the properties where the heat generated from the sun is captured, and then circulated around the house using a ventilation system.
