Marmox Thermoblock
Tackles Thermal Bridging Around
Harrogate Home’s Basement Structure
Some 180 Marmox
Thermoblocks have
been supplied to a
regional builder for the
construction of a high
specification home near
Harrogate, with their
unique combination
of insulating and load-
carrying properties being
used to tackle cold
bridging where the two
storeys above ground
meet the basement
structure which contains a
swimming pool and other
recreation areas.
The five bedroom property
has been built by Dobson
Construction with a beam
and block ground floor
being supported off the
in-situ concrete basement
walls.
The partially filled external
wall of dense concrete
blockwork, with an outer
leaf of quarried stone,
was then raised on the
continuous course of
Thermoblocks.

The Connected Home and Electric
Heating
Demand-controlled ventilation by
Renson
Many thought it was a
passing fad, but with
the recent popularity
of Amazon Echo and
improvements to
broadband services, the
connected home is the way
of the future.
With your electric radiator
connected to WiFi, this
improves your control
and gives you access to
data, no matter where you
are. Imagine viewing your
energy consumption in real-
time from your phone!
Having sight of your
heating costs may
encourage you to adapt
your individual behaviour.
VeriSmart Heating’s latest
product, the EcoWiFi,
combines the efficiency of
ceramic electric radiators
with amazing controllability
via your smartphone or
computer.

Renson’s demand-
controlled ventilation
system combines the
constant supply of fresh
air through self-regulating
vents and the extraction
on-demand of polluted
air thanks to the central
extraction unit Healthbox.
Dynamic sensors measure
the extraction air 24 hours
a day on CO2 or humidity
and/or VOCs and adapt
the ventilation level to the
needs of the residents
in an intelligent way.
In this way, the system
makes a healthy indoor
environment possible.
The Healthbox is
calibrated fully
automatically and
regulates itself so as
to achieve the exact
extraction capacity for
each room. This avoids
the risk of adjustment
errors, thereby ensuring
a properly working
ventilation system with a
proper flow rate in each
room. This automatic
calibration also leads to
significant time savings,
as installation takes only a
couple of minutes.
