David Cameron visits Ice Energy
Ice Energy Technologies welcomed a return visit from Prime Minister David Cameron to their Oxfordshire headquarters.
The visit was well timed, being just over 24 hours after the confirmation of the “Renewable Heat Incentive” (RHI) in the Comprehensive Spending Review.
Increase savings with energy saving technology
With the clocks due to go back this Sunday (31st October), the ECA offers householders practical steps to saving money and energy this winter with their Energy Saving Guide. These ideas, when combined, can save households £400 a year.
The ECA’s resident expert on energy saving, Head of Technical Services, Giuliano Digilio, says: “When it comes to energy saving, it’s the little things that can add up in the householder’s favour.
“When putting the clocks back this October think about taking a few simple and relatively inexpensive steps, which can be financially rewarding, particularly in the face of energy price hikes over the next few years. It’s a perfect opportunity to make relatively quick savings at this traditionally expensive time of year”, he said.

Fall in Love with Eco this Christmas...
They're a romantic lot at Love Eco but proud of it. They go to great lengths to find the best in ethical and eco design and only stock things that, quite simply, they have fallen head over heals for.
They have a particular fondness for small producers who work hard to make things that will last, that can be treasured and that have a minimal impact on our vulnerable environment.
Now they've pulled together their 2010 Ethical Christmas Gift Guide to give you a taster of the wonderful array of gifts, interiors and clothing that they have available.
They have original, eco-friendly gift ideas for the whole family plus festive homewares and decorations and some great little stocking fillers.
And, finally, they couldn't possibly fit everything into this one publication so if you like what you see here, you'll definitely like their online store where you can find much much more. Visit them now at www.love-eco.co.uk

Environmentally friendly matchmaking
PARSHIP goes green: PARSHIP, the leading online matchmaker in Germany and across Europe has migrated completely its IT infrastructure to a CO2-neutral solution: in September it received NTT Europe’s Carbon Neutral Hosting certification. This new hosting solution came about in the context of PARSHIP’s change of its service provider to NTT Europe. Beyond the primary benefits to the environment, the Hamburg-based online company expects to gain numerous advantages in terms of perception and commercial performance.
PARSHIP’s reduction in CO2 emissions was achieved through a new virtualisation concept. With the migration to a hosting solution at NTT for the PARSHIP services in Germany and 13 other countries, the energy efficiency could be sustainably improved while simultaneously reducing running costs. “We are estimating an energy saving of more than 50 % for each PARSHIP member,” says Dr Walter Sinowski, Chief Technology Officer of PARSHIP. “Beyond that, the server consolidation increases our flexibility. From now on, we won’t need to resort to additional hardware to provide extra capacity for peak times such as weekends. That means we are saving on energy – and costs.”
