Product review

Article Abstract:

A number of heating, ventilation and air conditioning technologies create less environmental damage than traditional products. The UK government is keen to promote usage of combined heat and power (CHP) technologies as a means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. CHP products on the market include Aircogen's system which provides warm air as well as power and hot water. Other technologies developed with environmental protection in mind include condensing gas-driven boilers, natural ventilation systems and heating controls which respond to room occupation. Tables of product data are included.
