In 2006 with gas prices rising by 62%, saving energy in homes became an important emerging market. This need could be met by transferring established commercial energy saving techniques into a simple method for improving heating control.

Everyone can benefit through reducing heating bills and enabling people to reduce their carbon footprint, whist helping us all to contribute to meeting UK carbon reduction targets.

During 25 years as Managing Director of Chalmor Limited Steven Henry was often intrigued by the impact an intelligent thermostatic radiator valve would have on both commercial and domestic heating systems. Chalmor has over 25 years experience in the commercial heating controls market.

Now Chalmor is celebrating the success of its electronic Thermostatic Radiator Valve (eTRV) winning the EEEGR Low Carbon award.

“We first talked about the idea five years ago and eTRV finally came to market at the end of 2010” said Steven. “Winning the award is fantastic and re-enforces the potential energy savings that it can make in both commercial and domestic properties”

Steven thanked EEEGR (the East of England Energy Group) for its encouragement and praised members of his company and all others involved in its development.

eTRV gives realistic potential for 25% energy savings. Three programmes each day maximise savings and the precise thermostat reacts quickly, improving comfort. Fitting to existing or new heating systems is simple and can contribute to making substantial reductions to UK carbon emissions.

EEEGR chairman Alan Barlow praised the high standard of the eight finalists in the awards. The awards were presented during a gala dinner attended by 210 guests at the Holiday Inn, Norwich International Airport.
