Honeywell E.A.C. (Electronic Air Cleaner)

• Removes both large and small particulate from the air stream

• Addition of carbon filter can also remove odours• Available as free standing or installed in central

heating and cooling systems• Collection of particles does not hinder system

operation

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Very Efficient, takes advantage of the relatively constant Earths temperature

No burning of fossil fuels means no pollution Can be used for Heating in winter and Cooling in summer System comprised of a buried closed loop plastic pipe with water

constantly flowing through it Heat Pumps Converts water to correct temperature using sensing

element

State of the Art Environmental Controls: Summary and Conclusion

We live in a generation where less is more. As we move towards more greener and energy efficient practices, the demand for eco-friendly environmental controls will increase substantially .

These controls will be integrated into more applications and inevitably will become the standard.

The combination of all these controls will save money, conserve energy, and ensure a comfortable and healthy living environment for years to come.
