Market downturn ahead of winter home decoration enterprises hold together for warmth of refuge from the cold

Hold together is a gesture, to express his face market cold still aggressively. Affected by changes in the economic situation and the real estate market turnover declines, home business "singles are weak, and it alone," look, therefore consolidate resources, "hold together for warmth" has become the consensus of many home businesses. Brands Home Alliance, formed in benefit-sharing, risk-sharing by the interests of the community, thereby increasing the risk of resistance. "Hold together for warmth," like "deep hole, wide product grain" slogan, motivate us not to give up in adversity, to actively improve the living environment.

Zhang Zhi-Dragon: the present reality of the market environment, any kind of driving mode, is able to achieve immediate results. But this does not mean that we would not be used as, or do not want to act. "Hold together for warmth," this kind of form that enhances every company involved in the formation of enterprise strength, solidarity. At the same time brand enterprise "hold together", but also to bring consumers a wind vane, allow consumers to enjoy in the Union to more value added services.

In addition, we Xiamen several brand home between companies, is to understand each other, but also lays the foundation of the "hold together". The same beliefs, everyone is trying to promote enterprise, the development of the industry, in such a common premise, even if a problem occurs, each can be very good consultation.

Huang Jin: this new approach, I quite agree with you. Enterprise combined, joint participation in the market, must be smaller than the power of a single family. Joint Association of power, the power of media to landlord feel will be more reliable. Trade Union, common to the consumer benefits, cost sharing, promotion will be a time of crisis into opportunities. Consumers can also be a number, a number of options, choose the most suitable for their own business.

Chan Wing-wah: "the key" hold together to a common commitment to abide by the service consumer, to comply with some of the Treaty, from the consumer's interests and the interests of industry, to explore industry development, enterprise development model.

Shen Ying HUI: the essence of the Alliance should be the brand Union, establish the enterprise brand and at the same time provide more peace of mind for owners, more secure consumer guide. Xiamen's home market, market segment is increasingly clear, rational consumers will choose a brand and reputation of the enterprise.

"Hold together" for enterprises, enhance their impact on consumers, promote understanding of is. Clever consumers, not to discount as the lead, but look at the enterprise strength, get high-quality decoration works.

Of course, to join the Union in one Assembly enterprises, must ensure that its construction quality, not to price war as a means, but for high-quality customer service to provide high specifications.

We hold together, hopefully through associations, the media, enterprises, and so much power, the multiple world twist into one unit, promote the healthy development of Xiamen home industry.

Thermal energy saving tricks winter let dry indoor warm farewell (map)

In winter, people are most concerned about the indoor temperature and humidity on the indoor air is not so concerned about. In fact, the room temperature is too high and the humidity is too low, will make you feel uncomfortable or even chapped lips, nose bleeds, irritated throat dryness thighs.

Thermal energy saving tricks winter let dry indoor warm farewell

Ventilation and moisture are equally important

In air drying, influenza virus and can cause infection in breeding of Gram-positive bacteria, but also faster is easy with the spread of dust in the air, causing diseases. For already heating family, the most important point is that indoor moisture retention. If the relative humidity is low, you can spray some water to the ground, or MOP the floor with a wet MOP to increase humidity. You can also put in the thermal facilities near a basin of water, let the water evaporate slowly to keep the air moist. In addition, as in some indoor flower grass on breeding, not only to regulate indoor relative humidity, also makes the room filled with greenery. A humidifier family should take note of the ongoing regulation of indoor humidity in order to fully service for your health.

Thermal energy saving tricks winter let dry indoor warm farewell

Comparison of the cold winter weather, General residence, work place are the doors and Windows closed. Then the best air disinfection method is to open the window for ventilation. According to reports, the normal person per minute to breathe 16-18 times in exhaled carbon dioxide gas accounted for 4%, plus the air itself with a certain amount of carbon dioxide, if the total indoor carbon dioxide content of up to 5% of people will occur. So closed Windows and doors of the family, the House has a special smell, this is not enough oxygen in the room. In indoor and outdoor temperature 20 ° c, a cubic room 80 complete ventilation needs 9 minutes; if the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature 15 ° c, then the window time need 11 minutes; if the temperature difference cannot accurately, fenestration 30 minutes is sufficient. Open the window of time to 9: 00-11: 00 or 2: 00 pm-4: 00. Because these two hours, the temperature has been rising atmospheric deposition in the bottom of harmful gases have dispersed, window ventilation better effect.

Home industry 2009 new growth points will set off a new upsurge of coatings industry development

By the United States Cizhai crisis economic crisis has spread around the world, and China this emerging continent, relatively speaking, has become a haven for the global economy. When the United States Congress in the House of representatives, the Senate is debating whether or not to save the expense of the economic crisis, the Chinese Government has invested in promoting a new round of economic growth. According to industry insiders told reporters that China's furniture industry is feeling the pressure, but also some worth looking forward to the new growth point.

09 home market analysis in the new growth point

Global economic crisis had negative impacts on China's furniture industry has had a large impact, accompanied by a steady decline in overseas orders, some focus on foreign trade enterprises have emerged, such as layoffs and long holidays. And rely on business economics as a pillar industry of Shanghai, but also because of the impact of the economic crisis, which led to the after 10 years of house price decline phenomenon occurred, although the real estate and home to continue to mobilize the enthusiasm of consumers, but the public because the decline in purchasing power and become numb.

Globe, subject to this economic crisis affect the largest belonging to individual consumer products and business Office products, this home industry has brought more chill. And accompanied by the Chinese Government 4000 million investment project started, I believe that more foreign brands will be stationed in China, and thus to have competition and incentive of domestic household market, adding more changes!

Although variables in 2009 will be very big, but domestic household heads of enterprises, in media interviews, but consistent remains relatively optimistic attitude, not showing too much worry, more people in the industry, said that China's furniture industry is feeling the pressure, but also some worth looking forward to the new growth point.

In this all out cold, plant called the frozen economy situation, why these home business are confident they are seeing what market growth point, let them be optimistic in the face of global economic recession tide? through constant visits, reporters get the number of household enterprises in 2009 the main directions of development.

Growth point one: flooring

In 2008, has flooring business experienced a battle. From the beginning of the year by rising prices of raw materials crisis, brought to the years of the overall real estate downturn, then to the end of the financial tsunami crisis, industry reshuffle experiencing adjustment pains, brand enterprise in between hard developing. The industry has predicted that there will be 60% of the floor enterprises eliminated. While the focus of home network reporter China Township of solid wood flooring-Nanxun territoriale many floors, but accidentally discovered after each floor business flooring 11-12-months of sales, compared to the same period last year, the General growth of 30-50%.

Growth point two: currently refurbishing

Affected by the market environment, decoration companies operating in increasingly bleak. Reporters found many decoration company begun to change the original sales model, in order to seek better opportunities for development. Shanghai and Beijing many decoration company began to increase its efforts to target the second-hand market and old building renovated business. Haomeijia Vice President Xie Yu said haomeijia running against the second-hand housing refurbishment services for development research, hoping to enhance their ability to work under pressure in the future.

Dongyiricheng & Chairman Chen Hui yi morals legalism that must fully take care of consumer needs, he believes that consumer spending power will become more and more powerful. "Now the household products to give customers a total solution, only the home of the overall solution, a solution to the customer's real needs, the current market circumstances, attract more customers. ”

Growth point three: West city construction

Shanghai, Beijing and other cities and coastal cities affected by financial crisis relatively large. As early as a few years ago, the country had already planned development focus began moving to the end of 2008, with the start of national large-scale investment, many stayed for a long time in the West building project will start one by one, to the West, to the second and third line cities to be in 2009, after a new topic!

With economic growth point, just let us see the hope, but want to be involved with growth, the need for manufacturers to build up skills, increase the competitiveness of their products in the fierce competition foothold. The perfect product line, Enterprise adjust sales ideas, will sell products but also imposed an overall solution design and development, provides the user with a full suite of services that can be won even more opportunities.

Financial crisis consumers plan to save money and lower grade home products popular

Enter the spring, many people began decorating the House. Reporter learned that, as the material price increases and the impact of financial crisis, many citizens to turn a basic level of repairs materials and more economical way of decoration.

This morning, journalists in Jinan Baihe building materials market see, come and buy repair material there are not many people, some shop customers are just asking price, and no purchase of meaning. Main bathroom products shop boss Mr. Hao told reporters that his agent of bathroom products belong to the middle class, the financial crisis are unexpectedly brought some tourists, "many customers are middle-grade and compares the bathroom products before deciding to buy medium range products. Although apparently deserted after business a lot, but passable. "Several business flooring, wall paints and other decoration materials of shopkeepers also said that the second half of last year, the medium range products significantly better than the top product sales.

For the financial crisis and the impact of the home decoration, home decoration companies in our city, said the head of home decoration industry and real estate sectors closely linked, since the real estate downturn, directly affects the home market. Jinan foster decoration company operating Director Zhao Xiao-Yong told reporters, "in the fourth quarter of last year, the home market, the present volume reduction, low profit a lot," he said, many people have reduced the original planned to put the decoration on budget, and instead choose to medium range of programmes, most people will select the total price of the 2 000 to 3 million refurbishment programme.

Radiator dazzled with steel radiator heating system matching

Close to the heating season, many people started to buy radiator busy. In radiator supermarket I see that most consumers is to buy a new House for, however, some consumers are in the old building replacement heatsink and purchase. By radiator material distinction, cast iron, steel, copper, aluminum, and composite materials, and other species, the HVAC market, steel copper-aluminum composite radiator and radiator is a mainstream product. From the design point of view, the most common form, the radiator is also curious that the heat sink, such as the harp, and like the bathroom towels can be both beautiful and practical radiator is a concern. Expert tips, consumers buy radiator, first consider the quality of the heat sink and thermal effects, followed by the price, the last is the color, style, not a red herring. In addition, the heat sink and try not to choose a complex shape, its cooling than normal shape.

At present there are more than a new heatsink manufacturer, but has the certain scale manufacturers, some also belong to the manual workshop production, the manufacturer of the product quality is guaranteed, consumers purchase should be "ask, see more, more distinguished" so as to prevent blindness. Tsinghua University Professor, heating radiator Committee, Deputy Director of the Shaw said Rong, for most of the heat sink, the State has a related standard, except for some new heatsink is blank, the new standard is being prepared, issued after the mitigation industry standards lagging behind in development status.

Radiator dazzled with steel radiator heating system matching

Heating equipment, usage problems it is necessary to pay attention to the housing ventilation

Every day, no matter what weather conditions, whether it's sunny or cloudy that shine through, whether it is Frost in winter or summer of scorching, we must ensure that housing 2 times a day and evening, the convection ventilation should ensure each time for at least 5 minutes.

Every year from 1 October to go year on March 31, must ensure adequate housing, heating the room temperature is not permitted to 18 degrees Celsius.

If we do not guarantee housing day 2 convective ventilation and no guarantee that there is enough room to keep warm temperature, then what consequences?

Moisture in the room, which cannot be discharged outdoor is deposited on the walls relative temperature lower parts. The lower the room temperature, this phenomenon is more serious. The consequence is that the housing walls and more humid and humid parts of the body starts to grow mold.

Had to renovate housing (such as walls, replace the wallpaper or both for). There is no sufficient ventilation for housing and heating of the tenant must undertake the renovation costs.

How to generate convection?

In an apartment, will open the corresponding Windows and set the value between the two Windows of all the doors open, then, produces air convection.

In 99% of cases, the fungus causing damage to the building, not the other way round.

Almost all of the tenants were wrong that the reason why produce molds in housing because of building defects, not because of inadequate ventilation and heating of convection.

Actual situation?

The fungus causes damage to the building, instead of building defects lead to the formation of mould. Only in very rare cases, some buildings of defects, such as pipe rupture, will lead to formation of mould.

Who is responsible for damage caused by mold?

When the tenant moved in rental housing, landlord will acceptance when found because housing tenants caused by mold. Typically, the owner will ask the tenant to pay damage compensation. The consequence is that in many cases, the landlord will not refund to housing deposit to the tenant. In this case, the tenant can claim they were cheated homeowners. But the reality is, as a tenant of improper use and cause damage to the housing.

Why are those foreigners who had just been to Germany's rental housing will have a mold in?

Due to cultural differences, foreigners living in Germany are rarely on their residential ventilation, why is that?

1. in most of the foreigners living in Germany tried to save heating costs as much as possible.

2, in most of the foreigners living in Germany like similar to their hometown of relatively high air humidity.

Foreigners believe mold is the responsibility of the owner. However, this view is wrong. Cause mildew formation of tenants must pay the Elimination of costs arising from the moulds.

Air humidity on the mold of what?

The air is always contains a certain amount of water vapor, but in most cases we cannot see. However, when the water vapor liquid, such as when we shower or bath, bathroom mirror's surface becomes wet, this time we will be able to see them.

Hot air contains a lot of water, when hot air cooling, condensation of moisture will, liquefaction. Condensate, liquefied normally occur in the housing for the lowest temperature in areas, such as the wall temperature is low. It is in these temperatures lower parts, most prone to mold.

If the room humidity is high, and the tenant does not give housing full heating and don't often make room convection ventilation, then the House will soon occur liquefaction phenomena.

Heating, ventilation should be more, not less, ventilation and heating less!

Many tenants in order to save heating costs, few heating so that their housing temperature low. However, adequate housing and heating, it is these temperature low housing should be more frequent and longer ventilation. Why? as water vapour at low temperature under high temperature than in the cases more easily liquefied.

In few cases, you must ensure that adequate heating!

Air humidity levels of housing must be less than the humidity low housing should ensure adequate heating. Why? because humidity larger air at lower temperature condensation easier! those in order to save heating costs and very few households heating is generally very small convection ventilation, this will cause the air humidity is high. They are worried about the ongoing convective ventilation heating costs will be wasted, such worries are unfounded.

L, convection ventilation of the room is for a short time to lower the temperature, but a few minutes later the indoor temperature will rise again. Moreover, the convection ventilation of the room air humidity in a few hours will maintain a low level, but also eliminates the possibility of producing steam liquefaction. Therefore, the convection ventilation of the room, even if the temperature is low, it does not produce steam for liquefaction.

2. on the contrary, not ventilated room must ensure sufficient liquefied steam heating to avoid.

Obligations:

Heating less, they must often ventilation. Ventilation less would have more heating.

1. at least every morning and evening, ventilation twice each time for at least 5 minutes!

2. each year from 1 October to go year March 31 to housing full heating, indoor temperature at 18 ° Celsius!

3. Please use heating all rooms fully heated and do not break. With the closure of the heating and cooling of rooms prone liquefaction phenomena, and susceptible to mould.

4. do not undermine the air circulation. In the air without access to the full circulation, for example, behind the big furniture, in particular the Cabinet behind

, It is easy for produces liquefied phenomenon. The wall surface is particularly important for air circulation. Therefore, the furniture and the distance between the wall must be at least 5 cm (preferably 10 cm), which is especially suitable for furniture without legs.

5, in order not to hinder the radiator was fully release the heat, it is best not to dry clothes on the radiator, or with overly long curtains cover the radiator and heating in front of the furniture.

6, those heating too little room door, remains closed. Give them room heating tasks fall to each of the rooms of radiator. If these heating too little room door is not closed, then the next room passes on hot air coming in, they form a very high humidity, resulting in the formation of air cooling of liquefaction.

7. If your bedroom door and very strict, no leakage, you particularly often and long hours to your room ventilation.

8. in the shower or bath, to the bathroom ventilation.

9, in the kitchen, not in the living room or bedroom of cooking. When you finish cooking, kitchen ventilation.

Want to say a sentence is to live in this environment, you also have a responsibility to care for. When you let go of the bags of garbage, on the surface, you just thrown away the rules here, you can actually also more or less thrown away your here and even Chinese, here's a dignity.

Heating: heating enterprises playing full-carbon brand competition market

Recent temperatures often rushed to 30 degrees of heat, most consumers think of how cool, but for heating, water pipes in the water but it is the day of installation or replacement of the heating equipment Golden season, many dealers have stock. This reporter has learned that, with the prevalence of low carbon concept of environmental protection, and many more heating brand is played-saving low-carbon, trying to compete for greater market share.

Recently, the reporter learned from the provincial capital market, a carbon Crystal electric heating plate heating products coming out. According to information previously available on common heating with gas central heating, water heating, wall heating, space heating, electric heater, electric heating plate heating carbon Crystal belongs to the new product, according to the manufacturer Jinan Shengle Ka electric company responsible that its research and development of the "like" carbon Crystal-temperature radiant heating system, energy-saving effect is very good, the installation cost is moderate, day-to-day running costs one-third of the air conditioning is plumbing and heating cable in half, "and electric heating plate in the heating process can generated with the same human wavelength far infrared to exorcise the Meridian cold. ”

People in the industry, said that the concept of environmental protection, energy saving are increasingly infiltrated the consumer lives, the manufacturers in order to conform to the consumption, have been playing out energy-saving air conditioning and peddling, refrigerators, energy-saving toilet temperance, against this background, the high efficiency, high energy-saving heating enterprises has also become the focus of competition in the market. Energy is the cleanest and most environmentally-friendly, affordable and stable energy, especially with the coal, oil, natural gas prices rising, the power of further advantages more prominent to electricity energy heating means will become one of the main heating methods.

Floor heating industry profits are always lower the problem?

At present, domestic ground heating enterprises up to 5000-8000. In building heating, floor heating, laying area occupies 40% market share.

According to incomplete statistics, the average use Northeast city building floor heating in the proportion of 90%, 70% of Hebei province, Tianjin is 60%, Beijing is about 20%.

China construction [4.550.44%] metal structure Association ground heating according to the information provided by the Commission, the industry's market annual growth rate of 10%. However, this should be the rapid development of industry but margins, walking on the edge of the crisis.

Due to the construction of an office building, Shandong in application of floor heating after once "water curtain" embarrassing, "leading to the regional market rapidly declined" such products. Some experts noted that Shandong was China's first application of floor heating products, but now its development process than other parts of the city late 5 years.

Same as floor heating construction caused by improper water seepage in large residential buildings, a comprehensive three tier cities have halted the floor heating products in local development, recently there is still no signs of easing.

China building materials market research Institute on the floor heating in a survey, 2006 heating engineering cost generally 80 Yuan/square meter, now the market floor heating prices. It is learned that the North some floor heating price has dropped to 30 Yuan/square meters.

Beijing Yate and warm energy engineering InfoTech company Chairman Mr Sung Wai-forces the Sankei Shimbun reporters, 2004 before heating industry in view of the small number of construction enterprises, but the market standard, a reasonable profit, quality is optimized, the enterprise can have the resources to engage in floor heating undertaking research and development, is benign sustainable development. Since 2004, many people think this type of heating, therefore increasing year by year, construction enterprises correspond to the omnipresent price war, more and more thin profit margins.

Beijing building energy-saving and building materials licensing wish genli pointed out that the floor heating engineering is concealed work, once the pipe or construction problems are difficult to handle, repair replacement is also very cumbersome. "In fact, some issues can be avoided by, for example, the use of most non-qualified pipe because of its thin wall, static pressure is insufficient, the human factors can be resolved. ”

In the Sankei Shimbun interview process, numerous heating construction enterprise that develops enterprise should avoid malicious price. Because the domestic development of civil engineering projects, the owner of the centralization of the characteristics of a strong, if only from the perspective of profits and lower purchase cost, giving up the high quality product is a "short-sighted" behavior.

According to industry analysis, profit for the heating industry, should a change in rationally. Floor heating in some areas already spent market import period into the relatively mature stage in this process, industry profits and market changes is directly proportional to the gentle, so profits decline is normal.

However the current heating industry profits sharply lower, more is due to the vicious competition, but this is not conducive to the long-term development of the entire industry.

Residents use heating radiator installed along the five links need not pay attention

For current heating radiator appear many products, spare parts, installation, quality issues, remind consumers to buy, install, and use heating radiator should pay attention to the following five aspects:

 

A comprehensive understanding of the living area. In deciding on the purchase and replacement of the new heating radiators must be present before a living community of heating systems (including heating), interior wall (thin walls, insulation of walls, etc.) made sure that the remedy under specific circumstances "," buy and install suitable for indoor conditions heat sink.

Clearly the principle of purchase. To select and purchase the radiator, to select a fixed place, specifications, size, strength, sales, installation, quality, service, and other integration services, a good brand image and integrity of the business.

Combined with the actual purchase. In calculating the radiator usage, taking into account the factors affecting the room temperature, and adhere to the "slightly larger or smaller" principle, to avoid the phenomena of room temperature low.

Hire a professional installation. In the install new heating and radiators, to make professional and responsible business conduct, the quality of the radiator and the service life can be protected; in addition, to the scientific attitude in the face of the installation, to respect and to listen to professional and technical personnel for comments, suggestions, do not just for the sake of cheap, Nice, easy and free.

Safe to use. Heating test water be sure to stay at home, in the use of heating process and after to check various tingnuan connector is loose water detect heat sink with leakage phenomenon to promptly notify the property or installed units be overhauling, is strictly prohibited without dismantling non-professionals, alternative heating.

Consumer awareness continues to increase in five years "GB" Water Purifier industry

"5 years to make 70% of consumers drink quality water" in the national standardization Technical Committee Water Purifier home appliances and systems at the standardization working group, the head of the leaf Jung representatives participating members sent a call for the entire industry.

Half of Chinese people drinking water not qualified

China's "culture" has for thousands of years of history, "water culture" was only 20 years, but this kind of cultural or accompanied by growing pollution cause health problems began to be taken seriously. Drinking water contamination from heavy metals contamination, pathogens, such as pollution, extended to conventional treatment process beyond the control of organic pollution. They harm to human health is not an "acute intoxication", but may slowly spread to several generations. China is not only a water resource-poor countries, but also a serious pollution of the water resources of countries, 78% of the urban River is not suitable for drinking water source, 50 per cent of urban groundwater contamination, early onset of cyanobacteria Songhua River, Lake, the water crisis, Yancheng, contamination, and water pollution in China is really just a microcosm of the event.

Our tap water compared with developed countries, is the low standards of safe water. Even if standard tap water and in the pipeline network, high towers, and other transportation links in secondary pollution, people drink water often is not up to standard. According to Chinese Academy of preventive medicine statistics: about 7 million people to drink water, Escherichia coli exceeding 3 billion people to drink excessive iron content in water, 1.1 million people drink water with high hardness, 0.7 billion people to drink high fluoride in the water, 0.5 billion people to drink high nitrate water, national 35 major cities only 23% of the population of basic meet the health standards for drinking water. 80% of diseases in humans and drinking water, some experts to conclude that today's drinking water quality will determine the 10 years of health.

Increasing consumer awareness

Due to serious water pollution, and consumers to drink the water "on the" quality is more and more strongly the desire. The rise of bottled water in the 1990s, to some extent met people from the "clean water" to "safe water" transition of psychological needs, so the bottled water market is developing rapidly, almost became the second drinking water revolution. But as technology advances, the common consumer awareness and understanding about health, water depth of bottled water is no nutrients present, secondary pollution phenomenon serious, expensive, and other abuses began to emerge, the consumer calls the "good water" increasingly louder, and corresponds to the expectations of health drinking water reached an unprecedented peak.

Water Purifier market ups and downs of two degrees

In fact meet consumer health drinking water means the most direct way is to use the Purifier, because a fundamental solution to the water quality of secondary pollution problem is undoubtedly the drinking water filtration, on the terminal's last session to check, while Europe and the United States and other developed countries the coverage rate of 70 per cent of the market also showed that water purifier is the development trend of healthy drinking water. Internally since the last century 80 's at the end of the net fishery products technology is not yet mature, market once the Water Purifier products into "limbo". Since 1998, the world's first water fountain dedicated Water Purifier in Ningbo Qinyuan group after the birth, Purifier technology matures, adsorption, ion exchange technology, membrane separation technology, water purification technology has been on the market, in particular, can intercept bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances, while retaining a useful element in the application of membrane separation technology, so that the water is more and more consumers.

5 years "GB" purify water purifier industry

National standard mandatory introduction of the most basic compliance with drinking water for healthy water purifier industry threshold, will be mandatory phase out a number of "no brand, no technology, no sale" and "three" Water Purifier manufacturing enterprises, the market will enter the benign development stage, high-quality water purification products is expected to have more space for development. 5 years of high quality water will reach 70% penetration rate, this means that "70% of consumers are expected to be 5 years on high-quality water to drink."

Heating period will see another "adjustment"

Heating period will be adjusted according to the weather, the heating season the indoor temperature to align with the national standard, splitting independent heating housing rarely pay heating bills. From 1 April, the Beijing Municipal Heating management measures "(hereinafter referred to as the" rules ") will be implemented.

In accordance with the provisions of the new "rules", this city heating period for those 15 November to 15 March the following year. Municipal Government can according to meteorological conditions to adjust the heating period of time. According to reports, the heating period start and end time is based on the relevant specification and the city's 30 years of weather data, the average temperature of 5 ° c as standard. In the event of extreme weather conditions, the municipal city management departments, Meteorological Department, municipal government approved the adjustment of the heating period. 12 March this year, the Municipal Government to deal with the cold weather, the heating period extended for 7 days, last November, 15 days in advance of the heating, the heating period a total extension of 22 days, as the city's longest heating period.

For the heating season of indoor temperature standards, in the imminent implementation of the measures "clearly established, the heating period, to comply with the current state of the residential design code requirements, heating units should ensure that residential customers a bedroom, living room (Hall) at room temperature in accordance with the existing national housing design specification of the temperature requirements, does not meet the requirements of the existing national standards, should gradually be usable. It is understood that the Department of State and residents built jointly issued the latest code for design of the apartment, bedroom, living room (Hall) and bathroom floor heating temperature is 18 degrees Celsius a standard.

For extra idle housing need pay heating costs has been the focus of controversy. Although in the new "rules" are not to idle the housing and heating charges are clearly defined, but to have individual independent heating system of the type of users, without affecting other users the normal heating and common heating facilities safety, in consultation with the heating unit, just pause the heating time, pay the basic fee and agreed to by the heating units suspended heating.

2010 solar thermal market where breakthrough

With the low-carbon economy go hot, solar thermal industry is facing a new opportunity for development. Indications, after the recent few years accumulation, domestic solar thermal industry also has a speed increase of capacity. From the current situation, the low carbon buildings, electrical household appliances to the countryside and technology innovation, is expected to become this year's solar thermal industry exerting force highlights.

Low-carbon real estate opportunities

Low-carbon economy in recent years progressively go hot trend. On the one hand, changes in the way the extensive economic growth has become a community consensus, on the other hand, reducing carbon emissions and fulfil the responsibilities, powers has also become China's commitment to the world, the Chinese Government has committed to a unit of GDP by 2020 to reduce carbon emissions, 40%-45%.

"Low-carbon economy illustrates the fourth industrial revolution is coming. And set off spearheads of the industrial revolution is the solar energy. "Shandong Linuoruite new energy co., Ltd. General Manager Shen civilization," solar product will quickly into people's work and life. ”

Experts noted that associated building a low carbon society and low-carbon life, the real estate industry will play a very important role. Information display, at present, China's energy consumption accounts for 30 per cent of the total energy consumption in the heating energy consumption per unit area is 3 times that of developed countries. Every year about 20 million square meters of new buildings, of which around 95 per cent of energy consumption buildings. Therefore, the real estate industry-carbon emissions reduction level, will increase the level of the low-carbon economy as a whole to make important contributions.

In addition some experts pointed out that, compared to a stock room decoration, decorated apartments fewer carbon emissions, so my residence will provide housing industrialization, building energy direction. According to reports, wanke real estate represents 2014 will fully implement housing industrialization. Vanke will withdraw from the stock market, increase carbon housing estate and green building investment and construction scale, fully residential renovations.

To open up new horizons

In the household appliances to the countryside of boom, solar energy products to the countryside has become a bright spot in the industry, while at the same time as the solar energy industry provides new world.

The Ministry of finance, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of industry and information in the month of February has been awarded the product announcement of household electrical appliances to the countryside. Which solar home appliances to the countryside to tender a total of 79 new successful enterprises, and has won the bid last year 89 home again successful enterprises, a total of 168 2010 solar enterprises joined to the countryside.

Related information shows that this year the bidding of solar enterprise success rate was 42%, compared with last year's success rate is about 70%, thus bringing this year's solar water heater stiff competition.

Unlike last year, this year in addition to participating in bringing enterprise quantity record high, the price of solar products from 4000 to 5000 Yuan, this change is to the countryside to enterprise product upgrade release a larger space.

However, although the solar home appliances to the countryside for domestic solar enterprises to bring a new market opportunity, but the possibility of new products, quality guarantee and after-sales service and keep up with the solar year, and is also spreading to the enterprises must pay attention to the problem. Vast rural market and dispersed, and so on after sales service is a bigger challenge.

The three latest environmental material on the floor, creating self-creative space

Anti-static PVC flooring

From the initial solid wood flooring to the color of the bouncing parquet, currently the most popular is more versatility in new material flooring, Dior's PVC flooring has become one of the most outstanding. It is understood that the PVC flooring is a new concept of eco-friendly flooring materials, the use of high-grade PVC wear layers and special PUR coating treatment, with Super wear resistance, impact resistance, not deformation and its high thermal conductivity, excellent dimensional stability is particularly suitable for the use of geothermal heating. PVC floor also have fireproof, waterproof and moisture resistant, sound-proof characteristics of noise, and the construction is simple, convenient, and dramatically reduce pavement on the labor cost. Dior's heads PVC floor told reporters that buying a PVC flooring to look whether it has a pungent, environmental protection, the most important criteria is formaldehyde emission, good PVC flooring of formaldehyde emission is 0.

Environmental protection material flooring

Metal mosaics

Ordinary home decoration material will inevitably be thousands, and metal plate for decoration decoration of brought new combinations. It is understood that the metal decorative plates are independent metal materials, surface metal material and other material combinations can be divided into metal painting, metal mosaics and other products. In use, the metal decoration plate has a broader space, indoor ceiling, walls, cloakroom, kitchen cabinet, mobile door, interior door, revealing the location they can occur. The metal plate is known as the "soul", the color of metal so that it obscures the original feel of hard cold metal, without losing the charm of texture and metal. Colourful, wear-resistant, resistant to scratch, stain resistance, corrosion resistance, fire, and other characteristics that make them widely sought after.

Diatom mud purifying air paint

Tired of the monotonous, walls painted on many kinds of wallpaper is not a cold, before a owns air purification function of diatom slime texture paint attracts consumers attention. It is understood that the diatom mud is a new wall decoration materials. It selects the planktonic diatom species of aquatic, after millions of years precipitation formation of diatom minerals. Experts pointed out that it is purely natural materials diatom mud as indoor decoration materials in addition to not emit harmful substances, but also has many improvements to the living environment.

Diatom mud can automatically adjust the indoor humidity, can also be efficient purification of indoor air, eliminate the smell, to live brings comfort. As a kind of "breathe" a green product, diatom mud is the ideal building material of the modern home.

Air conditioning PK electric heaters and winter heating equipment purchase analysis

With the coming of autumn and winter seasons, some rain falling margins after the temperature is increasing, many of my friends are beginning to consider the issue of home heating. Now the market mainstream heating means mainly divided into the following categories, the most common is the country's central heating, heating time comparison hard, basic is the annual mid-November start central heating; now there are many new community residents also have the option of using electric heating and air conditioning zhinuan, this way is more flexible, if used appropriately costs also more affordable than centralized heating. Today we have for electric heating and air conditioning heating to analysis of moment, that kind of heating equipment more suitable for you.

The recent Beijing for several days are continuously, in temperature is reduced accordingly. In the central heating has not come before, the warmth of the "vacuum" comparison hard day, choose a heating device to spend this time as well as in the coming winter used to be a top priority.

Now compare the mainstream or electric heating device, if you go to electrical Mall transit words you will find a wide variety of electrical heating products let people start. From the description on, they are divided into: PTC ceramic heating heater, infrared heaters, electric heaters, etc.., Ting Because they just plug in the power supply can use, but they are smaller, it doesn't take up too much at home. Then these different kinds of electric heating equipment has the how to buy?

In addition to electric heater equipment, with heating function of air conditioning products and more attention. In the off-season period air conditioning sales, its price will decline to home buying a new air conditioning is also a programme. Buy air conditioning also according to the home area to select the appropriate number of horses. Currently air conditioning function is also very rich, frequency, and direct frequency motor air conditioning products, how to choose?, relative to the electric heating appliances, air conditioning and what advantages? the following articles will have a more detailed answer.

Review of the history of heating

● Like heating times

Before we begin detailed electrical heating and heating and air conditioning. We first take a look at our history of heating methods. To say our heating history that had to say was interesting like. Over an extended period of time, like a each House in winter essential items, it can bring to us, or you can use its water to Cook, then alley in length can be seen riding a tricycle to households rushed like a master, it has become what day of the memory. Like in the use of that period also witnessed some supplementary heating products, such as a safety factor lower electric plates. Because of the electrical work and use the mat, we often see such reports, such as the use of electric mattress fire caused by improper or leakage, etc.

● A new era of centralized heating

With the development of the society, use like this heating means disadvantages are gradually being of concern. Burning coal requires some skill and a lot of attention, if there are no experience of users, it is easy to cause gas poisoning, a safety factor too low. And coal combustion emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other waste is also on the environment, not small. This is a late-prohibition of the use of coal heating, use other heating devices.

China's economic strength of the rapid growth of demolition of housing tenants move into the top of the building. With the support of central heating are also popular. Central heating is now most friends home is used for heating, heating start time base for the middle of November. Heating temperature is relatively fixed, if the temperature drops, the State will increase the intensity of heat supply. But several heating also has its flaws, such as in the winter has not come before, the indoor temperature is relatively low, it is necessary to use other heating equipment in place of use. If you are experiencing falling spring also require users to use other heating methods, flexibility is relatively low.

• Flexible heating changes

In order to meet the demand for more flexible heating, electrical heating, floor heating, air conditioning and heating equipment gradually we know and use. Current heating equipment mainly in new houses built out of time already supporting installed, owners as long as the stay can enjoy the warm. But if you are a friend wants to change the home heating methods, and instead focus on heating, most people will choose to use the air conditioning or heating with electric heating.

Experts answer: what can I do with floor warm perfectly

1. try to use marble, tile or parquet.

If you choose wood flooring, laminate flooring, the only selection is selection of solid wood flooring. Wood floors are better thermal stability, low moisture content, so difficult deformation after heated floor; flooring is thick and thin size easy, easy easy narrow width, in order to facilitate the conduction resistance to deformation and Lee; floor selected cushion not too thick, to facilitate heat and conduction. Be sure to use formaldehyde and other harmful substances emission small floor to floor for baking and release more pollutants and endanger your health.

2. try not to do on the floor area of accessories (such as carpets, etc.).

Do not place furniture without legs, so as not to reduce the effective thermal area, and hot air flow and thermal effects wear off.

3. floor not placing ordinary foam and plastic products.

Because these articles poor thermal conductivity, heat accumulation, easily lead to the long-term effects of high temperature harmful gases under easy, hazards home residents health.

4. turn on the floor heating system to slow warming, not too fast, the best one hour heating 1 ℃. In the heating surface clean and dry before keep, prevent floor due to heat up too fast and cracking occurred.

5. do not drop, hit the ground or the floor wedge any sharp objects.

Laying in the under-floor heating pipe from the floor surface is only about 3-4cm, if not noticed easily hurt and floor heating pipe.

6. water temperature is too high.

Floor heating systems are heating way, so the water temperature is more than 60 ℃, working pressure of heating system is over, otherwise, not only cause heating uncomfortable questions, serious also reduces the service life of the entire system. To this end, the consumer can choose the number of automatic control systems, the warm mixed water cooling system, etc. Point control with thermostat for heating.

7. the floor pavement finished best do environmental acceptance.

As for the heating system of floor flooring itself there formaldehyde emission problems, but when it as geothermal heating, floor, more furniture a formaldehyde release. Therefore, in laying out geothermal heating floor, be sure to do it, make sure that the acceptance of free formaldehyde emission standards. No more severe price buy environmentally friendly bargains, Pandora!

8. Choose professional branding and performance products.

Choose professional's powerful formal company, not just for the sake of cheap looking for small businesses and mobile vendors. Floor heating industry has long been known as a "third product, seven installation", the floor heating is a systematic project, from project design, product selection, construction and installation to after-sales service, requires professional staff design and operation, if a certain aspect of a problem, repair the difficulty will be very large, complex engineering challenge, even to the entire heating system for normal use, or significantly reduce the service life of the entire system, not only that, also planted in late period of use greater system energy consumption, increased cost of risk.

Oil price soars high heating costs for United States residents intend to firewood furnace heating

Although it was summer, but many of the United States who are already deployed in winter heating problem. As oil prices continue to rise, how to pay for expensive heating fee they worried that many people began to consider the use of firewood furnace heating.

New England is the largest United States fuel consumption. As oil prices climbed, compared with last year, local residents used to reserve the winter fuel budget almost doubled. United States many families start looking for other alternatives to petroleum fuels. Firewood furnace had yet since the United States United Kingdom rule independent period started, now this ancient heating means regaining favor of United States persons.

Tim · Bush is Maine Gorham a firewood furnace monopoly company Manager. He said: "compared to previous years, the demand for firewood furnace has increased by 3 times, perhaps before the arrival of the new year we'll keep the goods are sold out. ”

Wood ball by sawdust, possessing the United States a cricket trade agencies, in order to meet growing needs of the wood ball manufacturers have expanded the scale of production.

Geothermal floor not thicker more warm material stability is important

Geothermal heating with human "feet warm head cool" features, and geothermal heating canceled room heating pipes and radiator, and more conducive to the room's layout and appearance, therefore this way for more and more people are recognized and accepted. Exactly how to choose geothermal floor? this reporter has learned that because of the particularity of geothermal heating, floor requirements are very strict, therefore, in addition to the geothermal floor to meet the general quality indicators, it is also necessary to meet the four characteristics to loading geothermic heating available to eye.

Another floor quality care "-third floor, seven installation" but professional geothermal floor installation standards even higher, so it is best to install by manufacturers to provide professional, avoid the construction team to install.

Geothermal floor not thicker more warm material stability is important

Performance analysis

1, heat conduction cooling performance tuning

Wood and bamboo is a very good natural materials, ground heat transfer through the floor to the surface, will have the heat loss, ideal for floor cannot put these losses to a minimum. So in order to reduce heat loss and lower the heating operation and maintenance expenses, ground heating floor must uncheck the "selected" thick and thin. You can select multiple hardwood, bamboo floors and flooring, thickness not exceeding 8 mm, the maximum may not exceed 10 mm.

2. material stability better than

The use of geothermal floor complex environment, particularly in northern regions, non-heating season the ground are subjected to all kinds of moisture and temperature of heating surface and sharp rise, the floor must bear the "temperature" and "humidity" double change. Therefore, you must purchase the geothermal floor material stability, such as flooring, hardwood flooring, Bamboo flooring these integrated composite floor.

Warm the "hidden" consumers buried the urgent need to post-sales support (map)

In recent years, the heating industry is developing rapidly, and when you have just entered the market, have been increasingly recognized by consumers. Therefore, the more problems also follow. For consumers, the foremost concern is the quality of the floor heating and after-sales service. For example: most of the radiant heating floor manufacturers are committed to warranty "50 years", but really can use 50 years? use when problems arise, the manufacturers and the service should be provided?

Warm the "hidden" buried the urgent need for aftermarket for consumer protection

In response to these problems, the experts pointed out that in recent years, in terms of material, technical or engineering point of view, the heating industry really quickly. But also because of the rapid development, is likely to bring many of the industry. For example: construction of quality or service problems. However, these issues are not to be ignored, should be the industry sufficient attention.

Consumers a taste of warm pressing need post-sales support

Most have used to warm the consumers may not have found any problems, but experts say that that is because we use time generally shorter, so the problem also does not appear, after a couple of years or so, probably much in quality not clearance products, will be concentrated bursts out. Because, floor heating and other works, the tubes are laying on the floor, the following can be said to be an absolute "hidden work". And this "secret project" the most serious and most worrying is the "leak leakage" issue. This problem occurs, not only looking for accident points up complex and cumbersome, you must enclose the entire floor is set off, you can check the work, but also difficult to remedy.

In this case, the expert warned consumers to avoid problems, first of all, whether you want to get home for floor heating. Because the floor heating is also in use has certain conditions and requirements, generally more than 120 square meters of a House is more suitable for the use of warm, too small room is not suitable for use. Because of the limitations, kitchen and bathroom is more suitable for the conventional heating methods, not suitable for the use of floor heating. Second, be sure to select a comparison of major brands. Because most of the radiant heating floor manufacturers commitments are guaranteed for 50 years, while the warm when problems arise and be very troublesome, so be sure not to figure of cheap, to bring unlimited trouble later.

If the problem really happened, and not to mess up their position, to find a way of safeguarding the interests of the self. If you buy when the fine decoration, is free from worry, you can directly find property, let them and the relevant manufacturer, as soon as possible, inspection, maintenance and reparation; if it is just more trouble in bulk, must be promptly and business contacts, and then under contract for the relevant maintenance and reparation. Therefore, before you sign the contract when the caution.

Obama leads the building energy-saving "fever" warming of household heating borrowing

18 November, Obama concluded a four-day visit, left China, he period in China but the Chinese topic left a lot of new business opportunities. Analysts noted that benefit from the "Sino-US Joint Declaration, building energy efficiency will be the future Sino-US cooperation" one of the priority subjects ", household heating and so on industry chain related businesses will continue to heat up.

"The global energy, approximately 40 per cent of consumption in buildings, and energy consumption in buildings, and 80 per cent are used in heating devices. In the maximum energy consumption of energy-saving products in the field of design, this is a long-term and difficult mission of ' green ', our confidence in the future. "Europe's largest international heating group of Vaillant Global CEO Grove • Limbach said.

Half-half economic

In Obama's visit to China's agenda, "low-carbon economy" is an important topic. In fact, this concept has been in the United States domestic implementation of a long time, but their understanding has long remained in a retreat environment life philosophy, as well as the automobile industry energy-saving emission reduction levels; whereas this borrowed from both sides of the new energy cooperation agreement, the "low-carbon economy," the first to quantify, Sun, and this undoubtedly accelerate China's "pace" reducing carbon and energy-saving emission reduction of true to the building industry, penetration of consumer life aspects of industry.

For energy saving and the development of economic relations, Tsinghua University-carbon research master any built Kun pointed out: "the era of low-carbon economy is irreversible, and low-carbon economy will be the birth of a new economic growth point, it will be the globalization, information technology, the map of the world economy has become the remodeling of the strong force. ”

Related research report shows that reducing carbon economy 40% share of energy-saving measures can be implemented, including building energy saving is the most cost effective, energy-saving emission reduction one ton of carbon dioxide savings of $ 100, improve fuel economy can only save 80 USD; while the remaining 60% reduction in carbon to achieve through emission reduction, contains a hybrid, coal and electricity and solar energy and emission reduction, including solar energy and emission reduction is more economical, the emission reduction takes only 1 ton of 30 dollars, 1 ton of hybrid power emission reduction costs $ 100.

As an industry leader, Vaillant earlier discovery of energy-saving technology and product trends. Apart from painstaking research how to enhance domestic hot water and heating equipment of energy-saving effect, Wei can technical team has long been committed to the development and utilization of solar energy, in the near future, energy, solar energy and environmental projects, such as the source or the pump will be China's renewable energy plans have very good fit.

With energy measurement the "fever" for heating

In terms of energy efficiency in buildings, Germany's leading advantage is obvious. "From the 1970s energy consumption per square metre of 300-400 kWh, up to the present energy consumption per square metre of 50-80 kWh, Germany with more than 20 years, do one of the three energy-saving standards after the completion of a home heating can be significantly reduced, so the speed of development is amazing, is developing rapidly, but also the energy consumption is lower than this. "In talking about energy reform experience in Germany, the Ministry of housing industrialization Promotion Center Deputy Chief Engineer, renowned expert Mr. Sunke on energy saving.

In such a success, the Government of Germany and Germany home improvement energy efficiency housing efforts. It is understood that the penetration of household heating in Europe for more than 85%, is the most preferred by the heating of the family, and is also a major player in the energy-saving. Last year, through a third party, can do a test, use the technology to make Wales household heating, can give each family in each heating season average savings of 20% to 30% of the cost.

As China's thriving and expanding the market, a huge potential to attract more and more like Vaillant such foreign giants into China. They not only brought leading-edge ideas, advanced technology, high-quality products and services, at the same time, will also be more cross-border cooperation, innovation opportunities to China, a number of ways to promote China's Green economic development. Recently, Vaillant and Germany water lily in Beijing organized strategic cooperation signing ceremony, this is the benefit of the Chinese people's good, but also in the field of building energy-saving and useful attempt at a time.

This reporter has learned that belong in heating and domestic water treatment industry, the two German Department of giants, will give users direct economic benefits. First, the application of water treatment technology, will make excellent water quality is greatly improved, giving the user brings five star hotel General comfort. At the same time, can inhibit the formation of scale, thereby improving the efficiency of your heating equipment, reduce energy consumption, reduced product costs. Data show that water heaters increase 1 mm furring will increase 10% of operating costs, according to another study shows that the University of Minnesota in the United States if you don't have to water treatment device, one year to increase the heating costs of us $ 107. In addition, the reduction of scale, mixer, pipelines, equipment, etc. will reduce wear and tear, life would be so extended. "In cooperation with water lily, our products will be more competitive, the next five years, we target in China for household heating market share increase to 27%, and current Wei can market share in Europe. "Vaillant is Chinese area General Manager Wangweidong on co-operation with confidence.

With the December Copenhagen Conference, we can foresee, low-carbon economy topic fever will rise again, then, about building energy saving related support policy is introduced, China needs to go a long way to realize the fruits of Germany for 20 years, we look forward to.

Geothermal heating is getting into a trend expert advise to be specialized geothermal floor

Geothermal heating is becoming increasingly popular, but experts advise consumers, geothermal heating cannot use normal floor, but instead use the specialized geothermal floor.

Normal floor heating will deform. Concerned experts explain, geothermal heating, also known as "low-temperature heating": is located under the floor heating pipe, usually aluminum models duplex tube or conductive tube: floor heating: and then evenly to the indoor thermal radiation heating effect. Most of the floors on the market today, such as 12 mm-18 mm thick solid wood flooring, Bamboo flooring, parquet and thickness exceeding 8 mm wood flooring is not suitable for floor heating system: otherwise they will all have an impact on the thermal conduction or result in the floor.

For experts: special geothermal floor must meet stringent requirements.

Material density to high bonding strength within. Material to use dense trees made of wood: thermal stability: can guarantee the long-term no cracking at a high temperature, no distortion. Thickness swelling to less than or equal to 2.5%: reach the national standard for excellence.

Formaldehyde emission. Because the higher the temperature: formaldehyde emission more: relatively closed in the winter indoor use: more likely to be exceeded. Heat transfer coefficient should be fulfilled. Currently: there are experimental Research Institute, Korea building materials KOLAS international inspection agencies to provide heat conduction coefficient approved: consumers can make before purchasing.

Experts also remind that specialist geothermal floor installation standards relative higher: best by providing professional installation of the floor. Consumers in the use process is also necessary to strictly abide by certain rules. For example, after 24 hours of completion of the installation in order to gradually warming: warming up prior to maintain surface clean drying: to prevent excessive due to heating the floor has distorted the cracking. First time use or long-term use of geothermal heating unopened: you should set the low temperature: and then slowly warming: best warming of 1 ° c per hour around: the wood flooring gradually adapt temperature increase. If heating too fast: can cause wood floor heating too quickly: produce unstable distort effect change: cracking wood floor service life. In geothermal heating wood floor as far as possible without fixed assorted items or places no legs of furniture: in case of partial heat does not open.

Sen de reminder: warm the floor of the "top ten" of common issues and questions

Nowadays falls winter heating the prepare phase and the Pro floor selling season, the noise floor hotline, an overwhelming number of warm floors, of which as many! "consultation of my house and heating the floor coverings which?," "thicker feet on the floor, the better the insulation?" and "foil foam pad is dedicated to heating?" ... Brush the mystery clouds go astray, so that consumers clearly to warm the floor selection and use, and for this I Association Panel summarizing the current warm floor consumption in ten misleading, as a warning:

Sen de reminder: warm the floor of the "top ten" of common issues and questions

1. "every floor are suitable for floor heating floor?"

"You can do with floor heating and floor?" answer: "bear absolutely no problem, a dedicated floor of geothermal energy. "Almost every selling floor are so very positive answer, also took out the user instance, also took out inspection reports, so consumers feel that" those who do are suitable for floor heating floor. "But they don't apply to warm to meet four key elements: warm conductivity, dimensional stability, pollution prevention and environmental protection, and durability. Flooring industry is developing floor standard, four elements and to develop quantitative, floor laying and the warranty of quality inspection specification, the laying and maintenance specifications are also quantified.

2. "private name of geothermal floor?"

Current floor circulation market, used in heating the floor, not only a name, but also more confusion: e.g. "thermal floor" and "anti-geothermal floor" and "to heat the floor", called the most is "heating floor" and "to heating the floor" and "heat-resistant floors," "geothermal floor" and "special geothermal floor", we think that the name is not the name of science, there does not appear to be of particular relevance, the current floor radiant heating system, is booming in the early days, the name must be standardized, says: "to warm the floor" which is defined to be suitable for laying of floor radiant heating system, the wooden floor and pass through the Board for the room.

3. "the more thick, insulating floor?"

The thickness of the wood flooring is to determine whether their feet, so comfortable for many consumers purchase floor, particularly to buy real wood, hardwood flooring or bamboo flooring is required thickness 15-18mm. Thus, in choosing to warm the floor, they also use this method to choose, but they don't realize that wood is a poor conductor, usually wood material thermal conductivity in 0.17-0.34, water 0.5. If the floor thickness is too thick, it is even more detrimental to the heat transmission through floor-to-plate surface, which are consumed in the transmission process. As for thermal insulation, floor temperature difference between up and down a lot, it is very likely to cause distortion of the floor is very large, the "health" "shrinkage" swelling will cause a floor scoop, twist, bend, split, dimensional stability could not be guaranteed (geothermal floor of suitable thickness of 8-12mm).

4. "geothermal heating floor size is too wide?"

Now customers can purchase a solid wood flooring is to live comfortably, and second, in order to reveal their identity. So when selects and purchases tend to pick those specifications larger floor, especially width direction, up to the width of the 180mm. Thus, in the daily floor pavement experts would not recommend that users choose to avoid the floor wet expansion shrinkage appears out of joint, not to mention in the floor heating, because the water distributed by faster, is more prone to the phenomenon of floor from the seam. Therefore, experts recommend that consumers purchase geothermal heating floor time try not to purchase the specifications of the floor.

5. "belt aluminum film mat is warm floor private?"

This is the most typical misleading. Practice has proved that terrestrial radiation heating systems, heat transfer, primarily radiation, convection, conduction, and finally, if the heat surface and then cover with aluminum foil, forming anti radiation, while maintaining the same warm surface temperature, with aluminium film foam pad their thermal resistance, and ordinary foam pad thermal resistance. Obviously, the ordinary foam pad than the belt aluminum film foam pad their heat better, more conducive to heat conduction from the floor to rooms. Therefore, the user is choosing to warm the floor, you should choose the ordinary foam pad or thermal resistance, resistance to humidity and corrosion resistance, good material cushion to laying.

6. the "go to the floor below with plywood or blockboard?"

First of all, geothermal heating floor following laying plywood or blockboard, heat conduction, subtly heat conduction process and increase in loss, increased the geothermal heating system and heating costs. Secondly, if you choose the Board quality does not cross the border, but also causes indoor free formaldehyde exceeds the allowed figure, or because of the moisture content of non-compliance, the laying of the moisture absorption by the floor when the floor appears Watt transformer, bagging, phenomena such as, in addition to the base plate do more harm than good, it can truly be said self-defeating, snake! more beds bedding is not allowed on the floor.

7. "can only be suspended laying method?"

Due to the geothermal heating system of the special structure, when the pavement flooring, cement ground cannot nail. So for a long time most geothermal floor surfacing only admission

Suspension laying method, in fact, as technology evolves, there are another two laying method: floor bonding and keel laying method. Recent market a — packaged keel, the keel of pavement without nail nails, glue directly to keel firmly seated in the cement floor, then clip through the keel, the floor is fixed to the keel. This not only increases the sense of the feet on the floor, and because there is space between the keel, the air and down to the floor, to thermal convection cycle convection and floor heating more uniform, deformation of small, indoor thermal efficiency is much higher. This is the current value of the recommended laying method.

8. floor pavement is complete without the floor heating test

Geothermal heating floor after installation is complete, in addition to the general acceptance of, the most important thing is that it's also the floor heating temperature. Floor laying completed or winter heating, warming up for the first time, the heating system should be slow to heat up. When the underlying surface warming to 25 ° c, temperature 12-24 hours. Later, to 1 ° c slow warming to require/h set room temperature (14-22 ° c), the temperature should not be too high, the wooden floor surface temperature ≤ 28 degrees centigrade. Short time limit temperature of 32 ° c, the higher the temperature, heat loss, heat system life is shorter, prone to risk, and the flooring is easy to produce abundant, twisting, bending, cracking, etc.

9. the floor pavement is complete without environmental acceptance

As for the heating system of floor are more for laminate flooring (parquet, strengthening and Bamboo flooring), itself there formaldehyde emission problems, but when it as geothermal floor, heated, compounded by formaldehyde release. Therefore, in the pavement after you finish geothermal heating floor, be sure to do it, make sure that the acceptance of free formaldehyde emission standards (national standards for 1.5mg/L), in order to give the floor to normal use, be sure to do at the time of purchase: two point ① shop floor heating floor environment testing should be conducted before, general screening is free of charge, governance, paved and acceptance testing for environmental protection. ② flooring and accessories environmental indicators must be fulfilled. No more severe price buy environmentally friendly bargains, Pandora!

10. the placing on the floor above without legs combo furniture or carpet, undermine floor cooling surface

With the modern people's standard of living, people are becoming more and more for home decoration, and the pursuit of personalized also came many personalized assembling furniture, which can host any assembling of preferences. However, these furniture are often in direct contact with the ground floor without legs of furniture. If its interior paving is geothermal heating floor, furniture, carpet and floor directly to cover large areas, will make here to the floor because the heat cannot disperse, causing excessively heated floor is uneven, resulting in a space floor appear deformed, waste heat, so that the room temperature with low.

Heating will gradually shift to "double charge" a variable at the standard price of three

Recently, the city announced the imminent implementation of the Beijing Municipal Heating management measures ". Reporters from the municipal city rongwei was informed that the next city heating charges will shift to basic fee plus metering of the "double charge", laid-off workers, disadvantaged groups heating fee will receive government assistance. The public interest to winter at room temperature, then turned to the "three temperature zones" standard, a maximum of 18 ° c, minimum only 14 ° c.

The focus is no longer a single standard 1 room

Municipal city rongwei members, said Nancy Lee municipality residential heating temperature standard users have always been 18 ° c, 16 ° c, just a minimum guaranteed temperature, some units confused minimum temperature and standard temperature concepts. "Measures" (draft) have had on the heating temperature standards, but the final version of its deletion. Why is the national standard of the residential design code for winter heating room have detailed provisions, that is, the ordinary residence of a bedroom, living room, not less than 18 ° c, the kitchen is not lower than 15 ° c, heating of stairs and corridors is not lower than 14 ° c. Winter room standard consists of a minimum standard into three temperature control, consistent with the architectural design rules and energy requirements. In addition, not expressly provided for temperature standards, for personalized heating provides convenient. Some users can and heating units by heating the contract differentiated heating needs.

Municipal Department official said, the next heating period will be carried out in accordance with national standards, heating inspection for temperature measuring in the subregion.

The focus should be 2 workers heating costs by Enterprise took

"Measures", the user should contact heating unit signed a contract, contract to pay the costs of heating. Statute clearly: heating costs borne by the user organization, units shall burden. To do this, said Nancy Lee, in accordance with national and relevant financial policy in Beijing, heating costs included in the enterprise production costs, all units should afford the staff winter heating costs.

To private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, and will not be reimbursed for the heating costs of municipal heat supply Office official said, some foreign enterprises and private enterprises, and workers should enjoy the heating, cooling and other welfare and care into their monthly salary in integrated and, through the labour contract, Enterprise ceases to be a separate heating costs for the employee claims.

For laid-off workers, trade unions and other insolvency unit difficult group, city-owned assets management Department, financial Department and in the home sector, in accordance with the provisions of the respectively relevant subsidies given responsibilities, relief.

Focus 3 without heat or pay fees based on heat

Under the new provisions, all non-residents of the city to keep warm users this year will be implemented by charge, do not have conditions of heating system renovation will be carried out. Municipal departments in charge of that city's new residence would have the heat metering conditions, at an appropriate time to implement the metering and charging. Existing residential buildings will be energy-saving alteration in batches, so have the heat metering conditions.

According to reports, this city heating costs by charging, the charge will be the implementation of the "double", i.e. the basic measurement of thermal and heating charges. User regardless of whether you use hot, must pay a fee based heat. Nancy Lee explained that the building design, construction units must be full load configuration of boilers, pipelines, heating system, heating period, operators must be all users simultaneously prepared with heat, so no heat source, the user should bear this cost.

Focus 4 heating not reaching the standard double claims hard to

This year, heating units and have not yet signed an agreement of the user agreement, signed between heating heating commercial property is more and more obvious. But the municipal sector indicated that if the winter heating temperature sub-par residents users will not be able to follow the consumer protection act receive double compensation.

"Heating sub-par belongs to the past tense, it is difficult to determine specific start time, temperature, even if there are third-party testing, we can only prove that it is not difficult to set standards, forensics, measuring difficult. "Nancy Lee said, heating the room temperature is not compliant, and the quality of buildings, whether the user of the demolition heating equipment, heating network operating conditions and other factors, it is difficult to determine specific responsibilities. If you proceed to trial, user shall prove that he has not been radiator, no demolition modulate heating equipment, heating units only by a demolition heatsink to immunity.

Municipal departments also said that in the future, the city extended heating time residents user whether to bear any additional costs associated policies are under development. But non-residential users and residents since heating users will bear the cost.

Beijing since heating subsidies are providing subsidies 0.15 element per cubic metre

Journalists from Beijing gas group is aware that "2009-2010 heating season" gas-heating subsidies granted launch residents, is still in its original policy i.e. per cubic metre of subsidies granted to $ 0.15 natural gas filling-in card form.

Gas group said that this year gas since heating subsidies of forms and standards and the same last year. At the same time, this year the work is handed over to the zero point survey company operations. The company staff presentations, consulting personnel in the weekend home table lookup. Remind residents advance ready gas IC card and the card in a outlet gas filling gas table, ensure that the card volume to zero. It is learnt that the granting of subsidies including "2009-2010 heating season" gas-heating, and "2007-2009 heating season" meet the subsidies conditions but not subsidize users, and subsidies. Taking into account the need for staff with subsidies of the POS, staff special ordered residents be sure to keep people in the House. If there is something you need out of residents, staff will summarize community this is not subsidized, and then set the number of a subsidy. Subsidies time will still be published in the form of a notice.

It was introduced, although the last two weeks in advance of this municipality and delayed a week of heating time, but natural gas subsidies will still be as statutory heating time.

Tips on how to calculate the subsidy amount

Staff in the heating season and on-site consulting twice, you will get two lookup Subtract numbers after the actual consumption, minus 0.39 cubic meters per day per average air consumption, that is, consumption of heating. Heating with gas per cubic metre of subsidies, income of $ 0.15 money amount will be converted into gas, into the gas card.

Macro tips: gas water heater water tank winter maintenance tips

It is understood that a heavy snow swept Beijing and Tianjin and other places, and subsequently spread to Shandong, Jiangxi, Hubei etc. 8 January, is expected to usher in Beijing-Tianjin area snowfall once again. Cold air plus continuous Blizzard, makes most disastrous North Frost formation, some regions reached 40 years minimum temperature. Household heating appliances-note maintenance.

To ensure that the majority of users in this climate normal to use gas water heater, macro to remind you: must strictly follow the instructions for use, the correct use, prevent water tank, gas water heater (technical name: heat exchanger) is accidentally Frost crack!

According to the survey, in the current disastrous climate scenarios, such as after use or home, not in the water tank of water from the clean, may cause the water froze was Frost consequences. Therefore, the majority of users carefully read the product manual, and in strict accordance with the instructions of the relevant requirements specification using a gas water heater. When the outdoor air temperature is below 0 ° c, after each use, follow these steps to complete to prevent freezing of the water tank: ① ② inlet valve closed; open hot water valve; ③ water temperature adjustment knob to "low" or "flood" position; ④ remove drain valve for drainage (again, be sure to first fitted with drainage valve, normal use).

In addition, in General, water heater active antifreeze function effectively use conditions to keep the power is switched on, the outdoor ambient temperature must be-15 ° c or more. Therefore, in order to avoid your environment temperature changes cannot grasp and unexpected situations occur, use the function with active antifreeze heater users, after each time you use or follow these steps to complete the action to prevent water tank rupturing.

In doing the antifreeze, don't overlook the security check that occurs when the exhaust pipe, block or smoke leakage backdraught, please immediately discontinue use of gas water heaters to avoid unexpected accidents, people want to pay attention.
