TANSUN'S RADIANT HEATING PANELS SUPPORT CCC ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN HOUSING The UK Government is committed to building around 1.5 million new homes by 2022 and there are major plans for new housing in every part of the UK. All new homes should be future-proofed for low-carbon heating, and by 2025 at the latest no new homes should be connecting to the gas grid. In a recent document released by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) on the creation of low carbon and sustainable homes, existing homes can help meet the challenges of climate change by switching to highly energy efficient appliances so the country can meet its target of a 15% reduction in the energy used for heating existing buildings by 2030. 48 Following the release of the report, heating experts Tansun have launched its new radiant panels to help transform the way people heat their homes and commercial buildings. Stylish, discrete and unobtrusive to blend into any environment, Tansun radiant panels are the ideal indoor heating solution for both commercial and domestic applications. The Climate Change document states that the 29 million existing homes across the UK must reduce their carbon and energy use and become resilient to a changing climate. Tansun radiant heating panels are developed to provide even heat distribution to gently warm people
