THE PRACTICE OF Sustainable Design Sustainable design is about creating environments that allow people to live, work and play in such a way that the opportunities to do similar will not be compromised in the future. Consider the following heating thoughts to creating a sustainable heated home: * Good passive solar design allows your home to respond to its local climate through natural cooling in summer and natural heating in winter, reducing the need to rely on air conditioners. * Choose heating systems from suppliers who place value on design for sustainability. * Choose energy efficient heating systems to lower energy bills and reduce greenhouse emissions in the household. * Reduce the repair and ongoing home maintenance costs by using maintenance free heating appliances. * Avoid heating systems that emit volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), which can cause irritation and allergies, and impact poorly on your health. Amuheat' clean and noiseless heating system offer energy efficient zone heating controlled using programmable thermostats. The maintenance free system is durable and long lasting for the life of the homes floor finish. The energy saving alternative to fan forced air heating, heat pumps and heating panels running throughout the entire house contributes to the reduction of the homes overall energy consumption. Amuheat meets the heating needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own heating needs. Furthermore, our manufacturing partner processes focus on reducing the environmental impact of a product during its manufacture, use and disposal or reuse. Various strategies are used such as avoiding use of toxic substances during production, minimising materials used, minimising energy or water required during use, and designing for repair, reuse and recycling. |
