Domestic indoor wood burning emissions significantly lower than previously thought<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]The UK government latest data<\/a> shows that the overall percentage of PM2.5 attributable to the domestic indoor burning of wood fuel has been more than halved to 17% thanks to updated and more accurate wood fuel usage data for the domestic combustion sector.[\/mk_blockquote][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1646650946065{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Commenting on the latest data Andy Hill, chair of the Stove Industry Alliance, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the revisions to the government\u2019s statistics on PM2.5 from domestic combustion sources that have been announced. The SIA has long maintained that the volume of wood fuel used to calculate the previous figure had been significantly overestimated, and this has now been officially acknowledged.\u201d<\/p>\n

Updating old stoves to new Ecodesign stoves, such as\u00a0 our Sirius<\/a> and Celsius<\/a> models, both which are clearSkies certified appliance, means that these stoves have a massive reduction in emissions levels that can be achieved<\/p>\n

A professionally installed, regularly serviced modern Ecodesign stove used with correctly seasoned wood fuel<\/a> is a very low carbon, low emission, sustainable and cost-effective way to heat our homes.<\/p>\n

Added with the shocking rise in gas and energy prices means that having a stove installed pays back the cost within a matter of months.<\/p>\n

    Usage for heating<\/h4>\n

    Stoves are always a focal point for any house and home and are instantly desirable. However, these are not for aesthetic purposes only. People who don\u2019t have a wood burner, automatically assume the purpose if for aesthetics, however, in some cases firing up a stove tends to heat larger rooms far quicker than conventional radiators would.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”medium” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#eec200″ grandient_color_to=”#cca705″ grandient_color_fallback=”#eec200″ text_color=”dark” url=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/ecodesign-stoves-for-heating” margin_bottom=”0″ animation=”fade-in”]HEATING MORE EFFICIENTLY[\/mk_button_gradient][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/01\/clean-air-image.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”rounded” link=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/ecodesign-stoves-and-the-clean-air-strategy\/” margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1646651869407{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

    Clean Air Strategy<\/h4>\n

    Schiedel Chimney Systems provide energy efficient flue systems and liners and always promote, within installation instructions and advice guides, that sweeping and maintaining stove systems is critical for reducing emissions as well as prolonging the life of the chimney system and the appliance[\/vc_column_text][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”medium” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#eec200″ grandient_color_to=”#cca705″ text_color=”dark” url=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/ecodesign-stoves-and-the-clean-air-strategy\/” margin_bottom=”0″ animation=”fade-in”]HIGHER STANDARDS WITH ECODESIGN[\/mk_button_gradient][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/01\/ecodesign-comparisons.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”rounded” link=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/already-reducing-particle-emissions” margin_bottom=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1646651900866{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

    Particle emissions reduced by up to 90%<\/h4>\n

    Burning wood produces particulate matter (PM) but the amount produced depends on how the wood is burnt. Independent research conducted by Kiwa Gastec on behalf of the SIA has shown that SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves can reduce<\/strong> particulate emissions by 80% compared to an old stove.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”medium” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#eec200″ grandient_color_to=”#cca705″ text_color=”dark” url=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/already-reducing-particle-emissions” margin_bottom=”0″ animation=”fade-in”]ALREADY REDUCING EMISSIONS[\/mk_button_gradient][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”4″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”100″ style=”load-more” orderby=”modified” initial_loading_animation=”none” btn_style=”modern” btn_shape=”square” btn_color=”warning” btn_size=”sm” grid_id=”vc_gid:1646651766844-8706f456-a08a-8″ taxonomies=”1146″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
