Renewable Heat Incentive - RHI - by April 2011
The government plans to introduce the Renewable Heat Incentive by April 2011. It plans to use financial incentives to encourage a twenty fold increase in the uptake of Renewable Heat by 2020 - so that Britain can meet its EU binding obligations. The most practical forms of Renewable Heat are Solar Thermal and Ground Source Energy. ICAX integrates both of these in Interseasonal Heat Transfer. Renewable Heat Incentive.
Ground Source Live 2010
ICAX is speaking at the Ground Source Live Conference 2010 in Peterborough on 14 April. The principles of Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ (of collecting free heat in summer for use in winter) and the advantages of integrating renewable technologies are explained. Ground Source Live conference 2010.
Ecobuild 2010
ICAX will be at Ecobuild 2010 at Earls Court, London, 2-4 March. The principles of Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ (of collecting free heat in summer for use in winter) and IHT Systems are explained. Ecobuild 2010.
Shouting from Rooftops
Rock Technology shouts from the Rooftops about Solardec™ and IHT: Alliance with Rock.
Watertight Solar Collector
ICAX develops a new solar collector for flat roofs with Rock: Watertight Solar Collector. Solardec provides two functions from one roof: solar heat collection and full weatherproofing.
Merton decides IHT is The One Too
The London Borough of Merton chooses Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ for its new Acacia Intergenerational Centre in Mitcham: Merton IGC New. The first purpose built Intergenerational Centre in England.
Suffolk decides IHT is The One
Suffolk County Council has chosen Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ for its new £65 million Sixth Form College in Ipswich: Suffolk One New.
Ground Source Energy 2010
ICAX is speaking at the Ground Source Energy Conference 2010 in London on Tuesday 26 January. The principles of Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ (of collecting free heat in summer for use in winter) and the advantages of integrating renewable technologies are explained. Ground Source Energy conference 2010.
Mitsubishi WR2 link
ICAX uses the Mitsubishi WR2 system to extend the principles of Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ (of collecting free heat in summer for use in winter) to Intrabuilding Heat Transfer™ (to enable the sharing of heat within a building where there are simultaneous needs for heating and cooling). Mitsubishi WR2 link.
Strategic Alliance with REHAU
ICAX has formed a strategic alliance with REHAU, which provides piping and associated equipment for ICAX Solar Collectors and ThermalBanks. Strategic Alliance with REHAU.
TRL reports on IHT ice clearing at Toddington
The Transport Research Laboratory has recently published a detailed report of its two year investigation into renewable energy generation within the highways network for the Highways Agency. The Toddington results report focuses on Interseasonal Heat Transfer which was invented, developed and patented by ICAX Limited of London.
Royal Opening for Howe Dell School
The Duke of Gloucester praises eco-School as the best in the country for its use of IHT systems. Royal Opening.
The Merton Rule
The Merton Council requires on site renewable energy before it grants planning permission. The Merton Rule. Most other local authorities now require at least 10% on site renewable energy too. When Merton decided to build its new Intergenerational Centre it examined its options for on-site renewable energy carefully and then chose Interseasonal Heat Transfer.
ICAX seminars on IHT
In response to queries from Architects and Mechanical and Engineering firms, ICAX now offers CPD seminars on Interseasonal Heat Transfer. ICAX seminars on IHT.
Award shortlisting - Sustainable Heating Systems
ICAX has been short-listed for the first Sustainable Building Services Awards in the Green Product of the Year category for ICAX IHT System. Award shortlisting.
Howe Dell School opens
Howe Dell School is the first building in the world to benefit from Interseasonal Heat Transfer designed by ICAX Limited. Howe Dell School opens.
Going Underground
Amanda Birch has published an article in BD Building Design on Howe Dell School in Hatfield which is the first building in the world to use IHT systems to store summer heat in Thermal Banks for use to heat the school in winter. Going underground.
Misawa Licence
ICAX Limited have issued a licence to Misawa Environmental Technology Co of Hiroshima in Japan to use the ICAX IHT™ technology for a single project, in anticipation of rolling out a number of future projects in building and infrastructure allocation. Misawa Licence.
BBC London News
On 12 September 2005 the ICAX IHT installation for the Highways Agency at Toddington was featured in a report on BBC London News by Louisa Preston and Andrew Wynn Stanley.
British Invention
A revolutionary British invention that uses the surfaces of motorways to collect and store energy for heating and cooling roads and buildings throughout the year began official trials adjacent to the M1 near London in June 2005. British invention.
Solar Road Systems
Revolutionary British Technology Promises a Double Whammy for Motorway Congestion and Global Warming by using IHT systems. Solar Road Systems.
Asphalt Heat Rejector
ICAX Limited also uses the asphalt heat collector as an asphalt heat rejector. For buildings with an overall need for cooling ICAX uses an asphalt heat rejector to radiate heat to the night sky and release heat from ThermalBanks to create a cold store in winter to provide natural cooling more cheaply in summer. Asphalt Heat Rejector.
Asphalt Solar Collector
ICAX Limited developed the Asphalt Solar Collector as part of the ICAX Solar Road System for use in Interseasonal Heat Transfer. An Asphalt Solar Collector is an efficient means of collecting a large amount of warmth to raise the temperature of a ThermalBank from the natural temperature of the ground up to over 25°C. Asphalt Solar Collector.
