Accreditation from the Carbon Trust & Tritech ETV
Our energy-saving claims have been independently verified by the European Union’s Environmental Technologies Verification scheme (Tritech ETV). Funded by the EU’s Life Environment Programme, this new scheme validates the performance of green-based technologies. As well as Tritech certification, the imop qualifies for funding under the Carbon Trust’s interest-free loan scheme. See Funding
The UK’s Carbon Trust are so convinced of the benefits of the imop it already qualifies for installation under their interest-free loan scheme. So, in the UK, you can instantly start making savings on your electricity bill, avoid attracting associated government charges for carbon emissions and gain green credentials without making any initial investment if you meet Carbon Trust criteria.
The imop is a custom-built unit manufactured to Ip65 standards with CE approval. With no moving parts, failure rates are extremely low. Even so, we provide a product warranty for five years. In terms of health and safety, the imop is wired in parallel therefore will not affect the normal working of the inductive load in the unlikely event that a failure occurred.
What is 20-20-20?
Energy saving and green consciousness is being driven by the European Union and its commitment to
transforming itself into an energy-efficient, low-carbon economy. Stringent climate and energy targets
were set for 2020 by European Union heads of state back in March 2007 and became law by June 2009.
Collectively known as the 20-20-20 targets, they focussed in on three specific areas:
- A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels.
- At least 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable sources.
-
A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared to projected levels, to be achieved by improving
energy efficiency.
