Creda’s Eco-Response heater exceeds SAP 2006 requirements (19/04/2006)
SAP 2006 – the revised Standard Assessment Procedure for the Energy Rating of Buildings – has been welcomed by Creda, as its latest heating product not only complies with Part L 2006 requirements, but has achieved a top 100% efficiency rating in SAP 2006.
Creda claims that Eco-Response challenges accepted norms of heating in the 21st century because of its superior energy efficiency and controllability. It provides warmth when it’s needed, where it’s needed in a single room or across an entire house or office suite.
Combining comfort, economy, response and controllability, Eco-Response also offers an intelligent heating solution which is clean, safe and convenient. A constant low-level of background heat prevents the fabric of the building from cooling. On demand this fast-acting appliance can raise the temperature to meet heating demands.
The ability to respond quickly but economically provides the user with the total control and peace of mind that comes from heat on demand and low running costs. An optional central programmer requires no user intervention while ensuring that the heating system operates at optimum efficiency. Operating status can be gleaned at a glance from a simple LED display.
Not only is Eco-Response the most responsive and economical form of electric heating currently available, its slim stylish design means that it is a welcome addition to any home with a modern but unobtrusive fascia.
Taking up no more space than a wet radiator at just 140mm deep, with all the added benefits of intelligent controls and fast response, it also incorporates ‘one-touch electronic control’ with child locks, making it ideal for the busy family home.
The Eco-Response is simple and quick to install, with pre-wired connections and fast assembly design which further reduces the usual low installation costs and improved reliability, flexibility and low maintenance.
Produced from zinc coated steel in White or Satin Grey the Eco-Response is available in three outputs 0.7, 1.1 and 1.5kW.
“As Specifiers and installers come to terms with the latest energy efficiency legislation, they have peace of mind in knowing that by choosing Eco-Response they are not only Part L compatible, but this heater can assist within the new SAP 2006,” said Creda.
“Specifiers will benefit from the ‘integrated storage/direct acting heater’ category within table 4a of SAP 2006 which rewards the enhanced controllability of Eco-Response with a 100% efficiency rating, placing this leading edge technology in ‘heating type 2’ with a responsiveness rating of 0.75 – which is not achieved by any other type of storage heater in its class.” Said Richard Scott on behalf of the company, adding “Only Creda’s own Credanet II system can boast this level of performance.”
