VPhase on show at the world’s first Energy House as part of Retrofit Salford 2011

Jan. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Retrofit Salford 2011 (26th & 27th January) has drawn delegates from across the industry, public sector and academia to share insights on the challenges of how to sustainably retrofit the UK’s existing housing stock. The featured Energy House, a full-size traditional terraced house dating from the 1920’s, has been built to showcase what can be done to improve domestic energy efficiency and encourage the take-up of new technologies. Fitted as a typical working home with fully functioning water, gas and electricity supplies, tests will gauge how energy consumption varies depending on variable factors and conditions within a controlled environment.

The VPhase voltage optimisation device uses proven technology to regulate incoming voltage into the home and keeps it at a stable level, typically 220V in the UK. Independently verified trial results have demonstrated the unit will cut electricity bills typically by 10% and carbon savings have been calculated to be around 4 tonnes over the 25+ year life of the product.

Head of Marketing, Matt Cody comments “The Energy House will provide a fresh and innovative way in pioneering practical solutions to tackle the need to sustainably retrofit the UK’s existing housing stock. For VPhase to be involved with such a project is extremely exciting.”

“The controlled environment and testing will help further cement the genuine benefits of domestic voltage optimisation and firmly place it on the green agenda as an easy, affordable and effective green option for anyone looking to improve the energy efficiency of their home.”

The maintenance free device is fitted next to the fuse box, by a qualified electrician, and operates on socket outlets and lighting circuits where it can maximize savings. As the device includes a 5 year warranty it represents a virtually risk free, energy saving investment for UK households. Once installed it’s simply a matter of fit, forget and save instantly.
