4 06 Introduction 07 Designing a Modern Heating Soution. Currenty in the UK we use vast quantities of energy in our buidings. The power used to ight, heat and operate them accounts for over 25% of our nationa CO 2 emissions. With 85% of this energy being used to heat homes and provide hot water, it is cear that our industry has a big part to pay in energy conservation. Facts about the UK Market. Did you know...? Currenty, over 90% of the 26 miion homes in the UK have a wet heating system. 190 miion radiators are currenty instaed within the UK. In today s word of growing environmenta concerns and rising fue prices it is cear that the chaenge for modern heating soutions is how to provide indoor comfort in the most energy efficient way possibe. Designing and instaing energy efficient heating soutions are essentia parts of reducing energy consumption in buidings and, utimatey, achieving nationa targets for reducing CO 2 emissions. As one of the UK s eading brands, MYSON has made a major commitment to heping reduce CO 2 emissions by continuay deveoping new and innovative products that are capabe of operating more efficienty and more effectivey at ower fow temperatures. To hep communicate this highy important commitment, MYSON have introduced our own distinctive Eco ogo. This now features on a our products that are compatibe with renewabe energy sources. It is our guarantee to you of economicay and ecoogicay efficient heating performance. Radiators remain the first choice emitter within the UK new buid sector, accounting for over 90% of a instaations. In 2011, over 6 miion radiators were sod in the UK. In 2011, circa 1.5 miion boiers and 20,000 heat pumps were sod in the UK. As a resut of improved insuation eves and technica innovation in radiator design, average radiator sizes have faen in recent years. Due to the growing use of renewabe technoogy, ow temperature heating systems are becoming more common pace. Homes in existence today wi sti account for over 70% of the UK s housing stock in In order to have a big impact on CO 2 emissions current housing stock must be addressed. This means that pane radiators are set to continue their popuarity due to their ow cost, ease of instaation and abiity to operate efficienty with renewabes.

5 08 Four Steps to Energy Efficiency 09 Four Steps to Energy Efficiency. At MYSON, we beieve that, in order to achieve both a high eve of comfort and energy savings, a aspects of a heating system need to be considered together at the design stage. Instaing new technoogy aone wi not deiver the best possibe resuts in terms of cost and emissions savings. MYSON recommends a four step approach to designing an energy efficient heating soution: Step 1 Insuation Check. Step 2 Heat Loss Cacuation. Step 3 Heat Source Choice. Step 4 Heat Emitter Seection.

6 10 Four Steps to Energy Efficiency 11 Step 1 Insuation Check. Domestic Efficiency Measures - Estimated Costs & Savings If a buiding does not meet modern insuation standards, a heating system wi never be truy energy efficient. Measures Average cost ( ) Cost saved ( /yr) Carbon saved (kgc/yr) Pay-back (yrs) An essentia starting point, before even considering new heating technoogies, is aways to ensure that sensibe insuation decisions have been taken. Is oft and cavity wa insuation in pace? Are doors and windows doube gazed? If not, energy wi be wasted unnecessariy and heating benefits wi be reduced. For a sma amount of capita investment significant savings can be made, both in financia terms and in emitted CO 2 eves (see tabe opposite). Did you know...? Around 50% of the heat ost in a typica buiding is through the was and oft. Hot water cyinder insuation Cavity wa insuation Loft insuation (fu & top-up) Improved heating contros Ground source heat pump 4, Photovotaic (PV) eectricity 9, Soar water heating 2, Source: The First Draft Iustrative Mix of Measures for EEC (Defra), 2006 and Buidings Research Estabishment (BRE), For expert advice on insuation, pease go to:

7 12 Four Steps to Energy Efficiency 13 Step 2 Heat Loss Cacuation. In order for a high eve of comfort and energy savings to be achieved, heat oss cacuations need to be made for each individua room in a buiding. A range of factors, which vary from room to room, need to be taken into account: How the Deta T (ΔT) Tabe Works Based on room temperature of 20 C and radiator output of 1kW Mean Radiator Temperature ( C) Boier (ΔT50 C) Renewabe (ΔT25 C) size of was whether was are interior or exterior size of windows number of doors Fow Temperature ( C) Return Temperature ( C) buiding materias used and their insuation properties. One size of heat emitter does not fit a rooms! For exampe, a common mistake made when designing ow temperature heating systems is faiure to aow for ower fow temperatures in the system. A consequence coud be underestimating the size of emitters required to keep a room comfortabe. Correct system designs with ower fow temperature systems become even more critica as sma changes in system design can have a significant impact on system performance. WARNING - Generaised cacuations can be very risky! MYSON has deveoped a Heatoss CD, which enabes you to make these cacuations for your buiding and to specify the correct size and number of heat emitters required. Contact Customer Services on to obtain your copy. Boier (ΔT50 C) Difference between mean radiator temperature and room temperature is 70 C - 20 C = 50 C. From conversion factor tabe, deta T (ΔT) factor for 50 C difference is 1. If MYSON S stated output is 1kW then mutipying this by 1 shows actua radiator output in these conditions is 1kW. Renewabe (ΔT25 C) Difference between mean radiator temperature and room temperature is 45 C - 20 C = 25 C. From conversion factor tabe, deta T (ΔT) factor for 25 C difference is If MYSON S stated output is 1kW then mutipy this by 0.41 to get actua radiator output in these conditions (0.41 x 1 = 0.41kW). You therefore need to use at east two of this size radiator to meet 1kW requirement or choose a more powerfu radiator with an output of 2.44kW as 0.41 x 2.44 = 1kW. NB: Pease reference MYSON iterature for a tabe of conversion factors.

8 14 Four Steps to Energy Efficiency 15 Step 3 Heat Source Choice. In recent times gas boiers have overwhemingy been the UK s most popuar choice for generating heat in buidings. Today, however, the ist of options is growing, with renewabe technoogies such as heat pumps becoming more popuar. If designed and instaed correcty these new options can deiver energy efficiency savings compared with gas boiers, however, the upfront capita costs are significanty higher. Initia investment can be severa 000s greater, even on a singe property. Individua choices need to be made based on persona vaues and the costs and benefits associated with each avaiabe heat source. Did you know...? Currenty, boiers account for around 60% of the CO 2 emissions in a gas heated home. From October 2010 any new gas boier must be a high efficiency condensing boier. An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in the same way that a fridge extracts heat from its inside. It can extract heat from the air even when the outside temperature is as ow as -15 C. Ground source heat pumps use pipes buried in the garden to extract heat from the ground. Beneath the surface, the ground stays at a fairy constant temperature so a ground source heat pump can be used throughout the year. Soar eectricity systems capture the sun s energy using photovotaic (PV) ces. The ces convert sunight into eectricity and don t need direct sunight to work - some eectricity is sti generated on coudy days. Heat Source Choice Biomass boiers generay burn wood peets, chips or ogs and are avaiabe fitted with automatic fue feeders. They can be used to power centra heating and hot water boiers or to provide warmth in a singe room. District heating is much more common in some European countries than in the UK. For exampe, it provides around 60% of Denmark s heating. A number of successfu district heating schemes do exist in the UK though, using both fossi fues and biomass.
