Reaching net zero means tackling all sources of emissions and heating for homes and workspaces makes up almost a third of all UK carbon emissions. Our vision is to directly contribute towards decarbonisation of buildings through rolling out an innovative energy saving and affordable device, called _Thermocill_._Thermocill_ which is 100% manufactured in the UK, is an innovative device, placed underneath a window board, made out of 100% recycled Nylon. Through redirection of warm air from a radiator underneath a window, a wall of warm air is created adjacent to the window. This results in considerable reduction of the energy required to heat up the space, hence reducing the energy consumption and CO2 emission. Thermocill also has important health benefits, as it significantly reduces the possibility of condensation around the glazing unit and the formation of black mould. Thermocill's patented modular design will fit any internal windowsill with a radiator or heater below it and therefore, it can be fitted in both new-build and retrofit household projects (particularly housing associations and council homes) as well as commercial buildings such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, student accommodations, etc. Thermocill products were launched in Oct 2021 and are currently being installed in thousands of homes in the UK. The Wigan Council was the first council to invest on installation of Thermocill across all their 22,000 properties across the Borough.The main objective of this application is to seek funding to take Thermocill through the six stages approval process of Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and therefore be awarded with equivalent SAP points. SAP, which is managed through Building Research Establishment (BRE) Group on behalf of the UK government, is the official methodology used to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of dwellings. SAP points are used for many policy purposes, including the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and for Building Regulation compliance. In this project, Thermocill Limited will work with partners from BRE and University of Manchester to achieve the above goal.As part of the government's objective to increase energy efficiency and achieve net-zero carbon targets, all newly rented properties will need an EPC of at least Band C from 31st December 2025\. Therefore, the successful registration of Thermocill under SAP would be a significant milestone as it will allow properties fitted with Thermocill to receive points on the EPC certificates and thus increase their overall energy rating.

实现净零排放意味着要解决所有的排放源和家庭供暖问题，而温室气体占英国所有碳排放量的近三分之一。我们的愿景是通过推出一种名为_Thermocill_的创新节能和负担得起的设备，直接为建筑物的脱碳做出贡献。Thermocill_100%在英国制造，是一种创新的设备，放置在窗台板下，由100%回收尼龙制成。通过将来自窗户下方的散热器的暖空气重新定向，在窗户附近形成暖空气墙。这就大大减少了加热空间所需的能量，从而减少了能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。Thermocill还具有重要的健康益处，因为它显著降低了玻璃单元周围冷凝和形成黑霉的可能性。Thermocill的专利模块化设计将适合任何内部窗台与散热器或加热器低于它，因此，它可以安装在新建和改造家庭项目（特别是住房协会和理事会住宅）以及商业建筑，如学校、医院、疗养院、学生宿舍，Thermocill产品于2021年10月推出，目前已安装在英国数千户家庭中。该维冈理事会是第一个理事会投资安装Thermocill在所有他们的22，000属性在整个自治市镇.此应用程序的主要目标是寻求资金采取Thermocill通过标准评估程序（SAP）的六个阶段的审批过程，因此被授予与同等SAP点. SAP由英国建筑研究机构（BRE）集团代表英国政府管理，是用于评估和比较住宅能源和环境性能的官方方法。SAP积分用于许多政策目的，包括能源性能证书（EPC）的生成和建筑法规合规性。在这个项目中，Thermocill Limited将与BRE和曼彻斯特大学的合作伙伴合作，以实现上述目标。作为政府提高能源效率和实现净零碳目标的目标的一部分，从2025年12月31日起，所有新租赁的物业将需要至少C级的EPC。因此，Thermocill在SAP下的成功注册将是一个重要的里程碑，因为它将允许安装Thermocill的物业在EPC证书上获得积分，从而提高其整体能源评级。
