Ecobuild preview
Hot shots Planning ahead
Specflue will be launching a next
generation of heating interface units (HIU)
at Ecobuild 2015.
Manufactured by Thermal Integration
and distributed by Specflue, the new HIUs
have been designed for better performance
and ease of use, while delivering all the
same benefits of the traditional heating
interface unit. Built using new technology
in embedded electronics, full features will
be revealed at the show, where visitors will
also have the opportunity to preview one
of the new units.
The units include a range of digital
functions for improved control of hot
water and central heating in properties
connected to a communal heating system
using a central boiler. The new tools will
enable greater efficiency and management
of a unit’s functions, such as temperature,
pressure and flow rates. SunEdison will be
telling show visitors
about its Energy Saver
Plan, which offers
PV customers the
opportunity to save
up to 15 percent on
annual energy bills for
no upfront payment.
SunEdison’s
Energy Saver Plan
contract includes full
maintenance, repair,
monitoring, insurance
and a production
guarantee for 20 years on PV systems installed under
the plan.
David Lawrence, field marketing manager, said:
“The Energy Saver Plan will allow you to generate
your own clean energy with a low quarterly bill and no
upfront investment. You’ll benefit from the electricity
the system generates at a superb price thanks for the
Feed-in Tariff and Export incentives.
“We develop, finance, operate and monitor solar
energy solutions worldwide, ranging from some of the
world’s largest solar deployments through to our small
commercial and residential customers.”

thermal stores, solar panels and pellet
stoves, boilers and cookers.

Top performance
4eco is launching its data monitoring add-on for the immerSUN at Ecobuild.
Available from April, myimmerSUN will allow users of the microgen diversion
technology to track and download live and historic energy usage data – at the touch
of a button.
A plug and play hardware update, the system is designed to work in harmony
with 4eco’s second generation immerSUN, monitoring real-time data and enabling
statistics to be viewed on a smartphone or desktop via a dedicated website.
From import and export figures to self-consumption rates and financial savings,
myimmerSUN provides a way for users to track their microgen performance.
All second generation immerSUN controllers have a built-in wireless interface as
standard. This allows connectivity with both a wireless sensor device and an Ethernet
bridge device, the latter being part of the new remote monitoring system.
All users need to do is press a button to pair the devices, before following on-
screen instructions to enable full remote connectivity.
