Over the last six months , however , in conjunction with EcoFootprint Limited , Clearview Group has been exploring and introducing new ways that fenestration companies and corporations can not only get cleaner , greener energy for their business premises , but also potentially add to their own portfolio and profit margins .

increase its temperature . This then condenses back into a liquid to release stored heat . Heat is sent to radiators or underfloor heating ; the remainder is stored in a hot water cylinder to be used for showers , baths and taps .
There has been much talk about them recently in the press , due to Government grants and initiatives . Air Source Heat Pumps tick all the boxes for eco-conscious home and business owners as they provide efficient , green energy without the use of fossil fuels .

There are seldom and few brands and businesses that deny the significance of sustainability in their everyday practices , yet the few that strive to be the best they can in this field rather than just keeping up won ’ t just get a gold star , they ’ ll get a green one too .
