Three new member companies - Baxi, Worcester Bosch and Vaillant - have joined the BEAMA Heating Controls group, whose original members comprise Danfoss, Schneider, Honeywell, Myson, Pegler, Secure Controls and Siemens.
The new members have all previously been involved in other BEAMA groups and, given the increasing focus on heating controls as a key component in helping to deliver more affordable, comfortable and energy efficient homes, BEAMA believes this increased industry representation strengthens the group's position as the leading voice in the UK controls industry.
This growth also comes at a time when BEAMA, the primary UK trade association for the heating controls industry, has finally put to bed any ill-informed criticism of the benefits derived from having a full set of heating controls, with an independently verified and peer reviewed message, based on empirical data from tests performed at the University of Salford's Energy House.
The growing association demonstrates an industry-aligned belief that controls offer significant energy efficiency and comfort benefits.
