Read on for information about how your community building could benefit from having a heating control system, and how to source cheap, re-manufactured paint.
HeatingSave – programming and controlling your building’s heating system
Would you like to control your building’s heating remotely, and programme it to be ready for your hirers’ varying requirements? Earlier this year, I heard a talk from a supplier of the HeatingSave system, available via this link. They boast a ‘proven track record of achieving savings of 30%+, in some cases over 50%’.
Other heating control systems are, of course, available. Search online for ‘building management system’ to start off.
Energy use and generation links
If you’re interested in energy use issues, also take a look at the Community Energy South website, available via this link. They offer information and networking opportunities to groups interested in reducing energy use, renewable energy schemes, and addressing fuel poverty.
Redecorating on a budget
The Community RePaint scheme, sponsored by Dulux, offers re-manufactured paint at low cost to community organisations. They offer a range of colours in matt or silk emulsion, and might also have other colours / products available (including rollers and brushes). If you need at least 60 litres of paint, get in touch with them. You can find their website through this link.
