David, 21, has been celebrating with colleagues and is delighted to be awarded this on the final year of his HND Engineering course.
ÒI was so surprised! IÕve worked hard on the course but when I attended the ceremony I thought it was just to receive my certificate. Winning two awards and a free laptop made it a brilliant evening!Ó said David.
David joined TEV as an apprentice engineer in 2003 and works in the design and engineering department for TEV at their Brighouse site in West Yorkshire. Working on the development of the Quartz range of products, which were the recent choice for the air-conditioning system at the new St Pancras Station, London has given David great practical experience alongside his studies.
ÒIt was a great opportunity for me to be able to join TEV just after leaving school. The team is great, the Company have been so supportive in my training and an apprenticeship has given me the best of both worlds, working and training all at the same time.Ó David added.
The Engineering Manager, Chris Chisman also added;
ÒAs a company TEV are very committed to developing staff through apprenticeship training which enables us as a UK design and manufacturing company to be developing skills for the future in the UK. We are really proud of David as he has worked so hard and is such an asset to the team!Ó
HeatKing installed in the Eco-Home of the future
HeatKing has proven to be the perfect partner for a new build project of four Eco-homes being built in West Yorkshire. Built on the site formerly occupied by the Stones Methodist Church School in Ripponden West Yorkshire the small development of four family houses has been built by Concept Design & Build and is constructed to exceed the building regulations up to the year 2016.
As an environmentally conscious project the sourcing of all materials and elements has been strategic and has resulted in a perfect demonstration of Eco building for a real family home.
Constructed from SIPs an enhanced timber frame system, the homes have Argon Gas filled double glazing and a heat recovery system. The high level of insulation and the use of a heat recovery system resulted in a very small need for conventional heating however to boost the lower ground heating and to assist with the pre-heating of domestic hot water a HeatKing 6000kW air source heat pump was selected. Supplying additional heat through underfloor heating on the ground floor the HeatKing unit exceeded the specification and as a local manufacturer proved to be an environmentally conscious solution in every way.
The beautiful family homes, each with four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and have just 40% of the carbon footprint of a normal house and built in a small town in West Yorkshire represent the eco-home of the future, a project Heatking have been very proud to be a part of.
Possible Grants of up to £1000
HeatKing, in partnership with a well-known energy provider, are hoping to offer grants on HeatKing Air Source Heat Pumps from Spring 2008. The possible grants would be for up to £1000 for each Air Source Heat Pump from HeatKing’s BWarm and BCool2 ranges. The units use the most up to date technology to extract free renewable energy from the air to provide heating and hot water for homes and small premises.
“Air Source Heat Pumps are high in energy efficiency, kind to the environment, have low carbon emissions and low running costs. With the possibility of offering grants of up to £1000 to assist with the purchase cost, HeatKing Air Source Heat Pumps will be an extremely attractive alternative to traditional forms of heating in every way” says John Lightfoot, Sales and Marketing Director for TEV Ltd, of which HeatKing is a division.
Details of the possible grants of up to £1000 should be announced shortly by HeatKing.
