September 2016: This month we started our second pilot with direct exposure of strawberries to radiant heat. The first pilot has proved that application of our heating ribbons results in an equal harvest on the inside and outside of the plants despite the fact that the strawberries on the inner side of plants benefit less of direct sunlight.

The goal of this pilot is to ascertain the optimum amount of energy for the best result.

The pilot will run into the next year. Harvesting period: November-February.

January 2016: The price of gas will rise considerably in 2016 while the costs for electricity will be slightly reduced. The energy tax on gas will be raised with 32 percent tot € 0,305 per cubic metre, effective from 1 January 2016.

According to calculations from comparison site Gaslicht.com this raise will lead to extra costs amounting to € 132,00 per year for a household with an average gas consumption. On the other hand the energy tax on electricity will be reduced with 16%. On balance, an average household will pay approx. € 52,00 more for tax on gas and electricity.

The above however will not apply to houses which are provided with sustainable energy systems such as Living Heat IR underfloor heating. Houses equipped with Living Heat gain double benefits: a reduction of 30% in energy consumption and an extra reduction of 16% on energy tax for the remaining energy that will be used.
