Programmable TRV in running for RBS innovation award

Chalmor, TRV, space heating

RBS has selected Chalmor’s eTRV+ programmable thermostatic radiator valve as a finalist in the Innovation Gateway, a major international search for new ways of reducing energy, water and waste. Chalmor’s energy-saving retrofit for heating can realistically reduce energy consumption by 30%. The best ideas will be tested on the RBS estate of 2500 buildings and branches in the UK.

Fitted directly to radiators, eTRV+ provides accurate room-by-room control of heating. It also switches off heating when no-one is in the room.
