"The heat, you don't maybe have to have it on as often, you're using less energy," he told BBC News NI. His new system is controlled through a panel on the wall and an app on his phone, which also provides the NIHE with information about how the system is being used and is performing."The Housing Executive has got two roles here," said Robert Clements, the organisation's head of sustainable development.
But he added that retrofitting a house, including upgrading insulation, and installation of a renewable heat system is not cheap."This is going to cost money in the start-up, but there will be benefit in the fact that there's going to be reduced carbon, more thermal improvement, better health and wellbeing and better outputs for the householder."But they say RULET will have a long-term impact beyond those in social housing who directly benefit.
