Devex Systems 2015 Sustainability Awards Finalists

2015 Sustainability Awards Finalists
INNOVATION OF THE YEAR

Devex Systems was one of eight finalist in the Innovation of the Year category for the 2015 Sustainability Awards last week. The Innovation award recognises businesses that have recently launched a sustainable innovation into the marketplace.

Devex Systems was nominated for the Solamander® Hydronic Energy Hub system, an integrated and sustainable energy solution that meets a variety of domestic heating needs and has set new benchmarks for sustainability in the building industry.

This innovative 'all-in-one' solution allows home owners to use multiple energy sources for a variety of energy uses including hydronic floor heating, radiator heating, domestic hot water and pool heating. The 'hub' automatically prioritises renewable energy sources (i.e. solar and wetbacks) followed by the non-renewable energy sources to make for effective use of 'free energy' first and the most expensive energy sources last.

The Solamander® Hydronic Energy Hub achieves an optimum and pleasant indoor environment with comfort heating on demand throughout the year while offsetting greenhouse gas emissions to ensure residential home owners get one step closer to a carbon neutral home.

"This is a great honour for us. We are a small business with limited resources, so developing the Solamander® innovation and being recognised by Architecture & Design's 2015 Sustainability Awards for this accomplishment is truly wonderful. We have a very hard working and dedicated team of employees that really brought this innovation to life and this is something we are incredibly proud of" said Devex Systems, Managing Director, John Balass.
