Ecodan range from Mitsubishi is now CERT funded

Mitsubishi Electric has demonstrated how it's Ecodan range of air source heat pumps is an efficient and effective low carbon alternative to gas and oil heating.

Mitsubishi Electric used a renewable event held by The Micropower Council at the Houses of Parliament on 14 July, to put forward its case for renewable technology.

In addition to 30 Peers and MP, including Greg Barker MP, the Minister of State for Climate Change, the briefing meeting was attended by senior Civil Servants and interested parties, with more than 170 guests able to talk directly to Council members.

The advantages of the Ecodan range of air source heat pumps has now been reflected in an approved Ofgem carbon score which can be used for both CERT (carbon emissions reductions target) and CESP (community energy saving programme) funding schemes.

Donald Daw, commercial director of Mitsubishi Electric and vice president of the Micropower Council, explained: "We see this funding as a replacement for the recently axed low carbon building programme".

The Ecodan score is based on extensive field trails that have also been inspected by a UKAS approved test facility.

Mitsubishi Electric has accumulated the equivalent of eight years of monitoring data and sees this hard evidence as key to persuading politicians of the value of renewable technology.

The company has played an active part in Energy Saving Trust (EST) trials over the past two years and has also conducted its own live winter trials to establish how effective air source heat pumps can be throughout a British winter.
