Low carbon heating for future proofed homes
In 2019, the UK government initiated the Future Homes Standard. The aim was to incorporate energy efficient technology into all new build homes. This ‘future proofing’ will see an average home produce 75 – 80% less carbon emissions than a property built to current Part L standards. Low carbon heating systems are at the heart of these new regulations and will be an integral part of the house building industry in the next decade and beyond.
The Energy Carbon far infra-red heating system is the perfect solution for meeting the Future Homes initiative. When combined with renewable sources of energy such as solar panels and wind turbines, it meets all the government requirements for new-build homes. Our far infra-red carbon heating systems can also be retrofitted into well insulated properties.
We are the first and only UK infrared heating company to date to extensively test our products with a recognised testing facility. Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) have tested our products under laboratory conditions and found them to be extremely effective ‘this is one of the only products that we have tested that does exactly what it says on the tin’ Senior Engineer – BSRIA
Why Choose Energy Carbon low carbon heating?
The beauty of Energy Carbon products is that there are options to suit the different requirements of individual sectors. Although not extensive, we have listed some of the sectors that can benefit from our low-carbon heating solutions below. Take a look at some of our live projects on the case study section of the website
Energy Carbon Products – Smart technology operated
Energy Carbon fleece far infra-red heating is an extremely modern heating system. It is compatible with most modern Smart enabled room thermostats and can be controlled via almost any Smart home technology. As smart systems and technology evolve and improve, the Energy Carbon system is designed to keep pace without the need to refit thus making it future proof.
Because carbon fleece heating is Smart device compatible, it is extremely convenient for the modern homeowner. If you’ve forgotten to set the timer or thermostat on your fleece heating system, you can do so remotely, from your place of work or even while travelling, via your Smart phone. Energy Carbon heating systems are the fully integrated, super-efficient heating systems of the future and look set to become an integral part of the fight against climate change.
World leading energy efficiency levels
UK regulations for a new-build property’s energy efficiency levels are currently under consideration. To meet the Future Homes Standard, it’s likely that by 2025, all new build properties will be required to achieve an ‘A’ rating for energy efficiency.
To do this, several factors will need to be considered including the standard of insulation and the types of windows and doors which are installed. The heating system will also play an important role in the overall thermal performance of a new-build property. When tested under strict laboratory conditions by Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) in 2020 the Energy Carbon fleece heating system was able to achieve great efficiency performance results. Its significantly reduced running costs, no maintenance requirements, and easy control system make it the perfect solution for meeting the Future Homes Standard.
