NextGen Heating Information

The mission of Nextgen Heating is to a enable radical reductions in carbon emmisions from domestic space and water heating systems through the use of intelligent control systems coupled to multiple carbon reducing components. The number of dwellings in England is nearly steady at around 21 million. The number of new dwellings completed in England in 2003/2004 was 143,367 (the average for the last five years was 137,325). Therefore, while new housing is intrinsically more energy efficient than old housing, the rate of replacement is so small (0.7% a year) that in principle it would take 150 years to turn over the entire housing stock. The rate of replacement is similar in Wales but slightly faster in Scotland. What is required is a radical rethink about how we heat our homes. Nextgen believes they have this solution and filed a Patent covering its technology in 2006.
