"Since installing Ty-Mawr Thermafleece, we have definitely noticed a significant improvement in the humidity problems and the general temperature control in the paper making workshop is much better".

Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings

Ty-Mawr and training centre2

A half day information seminar that will look at the principles behind improving the energy efficiency of traditional, solid wall buildings without compromising their appearance or vapour permeable structure using natural/ecological building materials.

Many of the products and systems discussed during the day will be illustrated by real examples carried out in the on-going renovation of the buildings at Ty Mawr which continue to serve as the main inspiration for product and systems innovation.

The next Energy Efficiency seminar will now take place on Friday 25th May 2012. It will be followed by a free open afternoon to look at the heat recovery project - developed for Ty-Mawr that captures any waste heat from the manufacturing facility and combines it with a biomass boiler to heat the whole site - saving some 40 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum. This project has been funded by GLASU - a European funding initiative in Powys.

1pm Lunch


2PM - In the afternoon there is a free open event on Heat Recovery Systems aimed at SME’s but all participants are welcome to stay.

Demonstrations and presentations on Ty Mawr’s innovative combined heat – power system: a biofuel boiler plus heat recovery from a diesel generator and potential heat recovery from the exothermic chemical process of lime slaking.

The house and buildings will be open and interpretation materials up for people to walk around at leisure.

Tea and mince pies will be available!

The afternoon is part of the research and awareness project funded by GLASU.
