| Concrete Blond - Interior Insulation | |
| Concrete Blond’s insulating panels are designed to be seen. Made of concrete but decorated with the pattern of traditional wallpaper they are made to be fitted inside your home on exterior-facing walls. The cavity behind the panels can filled with insulating foam to reduce heat loss. This innovative product would be ideal for older homes with solid walls that are difficult to insulate any other way. The panels are tapered to join neatly at the corners, and formed to accommodate windows, doors, radiators and light switches. www.concrete-blond.com |

| More Associates - EnergyLock and EnergyClock | |
| What if your house had an off switch? The EnergyLock doorlatch displays the energy use of your home at the moment you exit and provides a single, simple switch to turn off all unnecessary devices while you’re out. The lock communicates with devices throughout the home via the MorePower wireless network and sensors at the plug sockets. What if there was an electricity meter so beautiful you’d want to hang it on the wall? Using the same low power radio link to get its data, EnergyClock subtly displays household electricity use by changing the colour of the dial. www.moreassociates.com |
