    Why heat pumps are good for business
    With climate change firmly on the political agenda, interest in renewable energy is soaring in step with the need to reduce carbon emissions, writes Chris Davis, head of renewables at Dimplex. Not only are companies keen to demonstrate their environmental credentials and corporate social responsibility, they are under increasing pressure from a range of legislation to ‘do the right thing’, and heat pumps offer an effective route to gaining valuable carbon credits.

    Heat pumps are often thought of in terms of domestic installations, but there is a wide range of higher output options suitable for a variety of commercial applications. Dimplex, for example, offers a new range of ground source heat pumps with outputs up to 130kW, sufficient to heat large commercial, leisure or educational establishments.

    Energy Labelling
    Linda Dingley, Marketing Manager, Grundfos Pumps Ltd
    Published:  23 March, 2006

    When energy labelling was first introduced for European domestic appliances in 1995, it got a fairly low-key reception. However, from these inauspicious beginnings, the initiative has gained significant momentum and is now instantly recognised with more and more people actively using it, as both a standalone and as part of the mix, to make product relevant purchasing decisions.
