PRODUCTS & SERVICES Products of the month Rinnai aiming to bring clarity to net zero debate report, and the contract with the authors Manufacturer to announce new low carbon technologies and hybrid solutions by end of 2021 R innai is to commission a comprehensive comparative review and report on gas and electric appliances using a variety of energy vectors in both residential and commercial UK scenarios. The commission is being carried out by one of the biggest multinational consultancies in the building and construction sector, and the We simply want to see realism brought into an increasingly polarised debate that, at times, reaches levels of unbridled hysteria, says Tony Gittings, managing director of Rinnai. Fact, logic and reason must be employed for the best outcome for all of us. We need decarbonisation we need net zero and we need it as soon as possible, but in such a way that is pragmatic in terms of Rinnai managing director Tony Gittings catering to the existing populations and markets. Before the end of the year, Rinnai is expected to announce its own new product development answering the net zero call, including low carbon technologies and hybrid solutions. We are committing substantial sums to this doctoring or spin. The consumer needs to be given the facts to make an informed decision, adds Gittings (pictured, left). We are manufacturers of proven excellence and are using our core competencies of design engineering solutions to suit all possible future needs and fuels. We have a global reach, with 650 R&D engineers, and will evolve to ensure that our customers have the very best possible product options. We believe, implicitly, that there will be a need for a variety of solutions to the Energy Trilemma there is not one single fuel or appliance that is the answer to all the problems. We also believe some of the statements drum banging of interested parties looking political interests.

Temperature accuracy ensures hot water can be supplied to support CIBSE consultants, engineers and designers. Chris Goggin, operation director, says: We can demonstrate how innovation can reduce the use of fossil fuels while maximising renewable gains. One example is our N Series range, which can be used with a renewable heat source solar or heat and comfort. More information can be found on Rinnais website and its Help Me Choose dedicated webpage.
