Heat pumps are two-step, renewable heat exchangers, used to channel heat from the air or ground into a building heating system. The trajectory of UK heating systems over the next 10 years will be a gradual transition away from gas-powered boilers to more sustainable power sources for both businesses and homes, and heat pumps have a crucial role to play in this.

What Are the Differences Between Halogen and LED Lights?

Ground Source Vs. Air Source Heat Pumps – What Are The Main Differences?
Heat pumps are a fantastic way to cheaply power your building’s heating system by harnessing the earth's natural outdoor warmth, ending or reducing your dependence on gas-powered boilers. Using a renewable sink to collect renewable heat and usefully distribute it inside the building (via a powered, liquid evaporator-condenser loop and central heating system) is a more efficient, eco-friendly, and economical alternative to relying on expensive oil and gas boilers.

Halogen lights are small-scale, high-lumen lightbulbs that use inert, neutral gasses (i.e. halogens) around a tungsten filament to provide illumination. Halogen shielding increases the lamp's brightness, efficiency, and lifespan. Commercially available since 1959, halogen bulbs are today used wherever crisp, clear, intense lighting is needed, and form part of the lighting architecture in many public and commercial buildings.

Lightning strikes posed a serious threat to historic buildings for centuries. Storms were a major cause of fires, with a single strike capable of igniting a thatched roof or wooden structure, and even stone buildings weren’t immune from this threat. The history books and folklore are peppered with stories of church towers collapsing after being struck by lightning, and tall stone-built structures, such as castles and palaces, faced the continual threat of structural damage from lightning. Such was the popular dread of lightning strikes that people composed prayers and incantations specifically to safeguard them from the threat.
