The National Trust reported this week that one of its most popular Lincolnshire attractions has been given an energy-efficient makeover, complete with smart energy monitoring and underfloor heating. Belton House in Grantham, built in 1685-88, has long suffered from a heating system befitting its times, but now it can boast a highly eco-friendly environmental control system installed under […]

An Oxfordshire farmer has caused countryside lobbyists to rise up in anger over his plans for a new wind turbine. John Laming already lives in a highly energy-efficient eco-house, with ground source heat pumps powering his underfloor heating and rain harvesters, but he also wants the 20-foot high 15kw wind turbine to provide power for heat units on his […]

Lakeside in Portsmouth has just got a new nursery, which is hoping to set a new standard in energy-efficiency and the use of renewables. The low-carbon nursery doesn’t need radiators, as its heating is controlled via an air source heat pump which transforms heat from the outside air into energy for the underfloor heating system throughout. Lighting is also […]

The U.S. Department of Energy has hailed underfloor heating as one of the most energy-efficient forms of domestic heating currently available. On its Energy Savers website, it points out that underfloor heating — often referred to as radiant heating in the USA  is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because no […]

Of the many kinds of underfloor heating solutions available on the market, most come down to two different types — gas and electric powered. Electric systems generate heat directly via electrical resistance, and gas underfloor heating (more properly known as ‘hydronic’ or ?water heating?) uses a gas or oil-fired central heating system to heat water pipes under […]
