Our Green Product Labels
Welcome - You have just entered the green zone!
We are so excited about the work that we have been doing to reduce our environmental responsibility and believe us, it is only just the beginning.
To start with we put out heads together and reckoned it would be much simpler if everyone had a better idea which Greenwood products and services were carbon friendly and most importantly why, so we developed a simple guide to help you!
So read on and find out about the three labels that you will start to see within our product range. They are all about helping to reduce our environmental impact from energy efficient products to carbon neutral ones.
Don't forget - If you have any questions, please email greengoddess@greenwood.co.uk

Carbonlite
Going lite won’t do anything for your waistline, but it will for your carbon footprint!
When you see this label it means the ventilation product is at least 44% more energy efficient than its standard alternative when installed. This means with this label you will see annual savings in terms of energy usage, £’s from your electricity bill and of course CO2 from the environment!!
We are over the moon to tell you that 5 of our products currently carry the Carbonlite label, from an age old trusted bathroom and kitchen fan, to the latest in heat recovery and constant volume ventilation systems. Approach with caution though - because you’ll be kicking yourself with the savings that can be made with such a simple switch over!!

Carbon Neutral
We know we can’t avoid putting greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere even when we have minimised our impact to the full, so in simple terms we need to take out the Carbon Dioxide somewhere else.
When you see this label is means we have committed to carbon offset projects. These reduce greenhouse gases in equal amounts to what we are emitting during a product’s manufacture and transportation or the activities of a service that we provide, thus making it Carbon neutral.
You might not have heard but we are the first and only UK domestic ventilation manufacturer who has achieved Carbon Neutral status – for our Head Office and our new revolutionary and simply outstanding new Unity CV100 fan range… and this is just the start of things to come. During next year we aim to add this label to more of our products and of course to our business.

SAP Appendix Q Eligible
Today each element of a new dwelling’s design is under the energy microscope as we aim for Zero Carbon Homes.
When you see this industry label, it means the ventilation product is one of the most energy efficient on the market. Each product’s specific test performance is used in place of the default settings in SAP to help further reduce DERs (Dwelling Emission Rate).
Not only do we have the most products of any manufacturer under SAP Appendix Q eligibility, we are the first with a de-centralised MEV! This means for new build dwellings, we have a wide range of products that will deliver energy savings and for that simple reason, we are very proud of our achievements!!
