Sheep Wool Insulation Project PDF Print E-mail

What is Thermafleece?

Thermafleece is made of wool which is a natural fibre from a fully renewable resource, consequently the life cycle of the product has an ideal energy balance. Thermafleece is manufactured to a density of 25kg/m3 giving a K-value of 0.039 W/m.K. Because of its ability to rapidly absorb and release water vapour, Thermafleece wool insulation can help to keep buildings cool in summer and warm in winter.

Green Electricity Tariffs...

Green Electricity
The electricity grid network is supplied with energy from many power stations, mostly fossil fueled. Now, some smaller renewable energy plants are supplying electricity to the national grid. Put simply, green electricity is produced from renewable sources, as opposed to ?normal? electricity tariffs, which are from fossil fuel generation. Often also referred to as green tariffs or green power, green electricity is frequently given specific ?brand? names by the energy companies.

You can embrace green electricity by purchasing green electricity from current plants (green tariff)?or by supporting a fund for the development of future renewable energy generation (green fund). Green funds and green tariffs are collectively known as green supply offerings. A number of companies also supply offerings that are a combination of the funds and tariff offerings.
