CINTEP Revolutionary Shower Leads the Way for Future Bathroom Designs to Achieve the Level 3 Code for Sustainable Homes

/in , /by


London, UK (PRWEB) May 27, 2013

New homes in the UK are now being rated and certified according to a national standard for sustainable design and construction. The standard, known as the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH), is measured against nine categories, two of which, energy efficiency and water consumption, have been exceptionally addressed by CINTEP. The Australian-owned and multi-award winning company recently offered up a simple solution for social housing developers and those living in publicly funded housing to meet Code level 3 — a home that is more energy- and water-efficient.

According to CINTEP, when developers and residents incorporate the company’s revolutionary recycling shower system into their bathroom designs, they will be able to deliver and experience 70 percent reduction in water and energy consumption yet zero reduction in flow rate, water temperature, and length of time spent in the shower.

The CINTEP shower system provides nine litres per minute at the showerhead but only uses 2.7 litres per minute in the process. The company also adds that on top of saving water, saving energy is derived by the fact the recirculated water will not require much heating as it is already warm.

The company explains, “The recirculated water is filtered three times and heat pasteurised in less than 25 seconds, and then immediately reused. No water is stored in the shower and no water is ever shared between users. This means we give you a shower that is high on performance, high on efficiency, but low on cost — with no compromises.”

While the UK government reiterates that the CSH is voluntary, not a regulation for private sectors that are considering their options for modern bathroom ideas, and should not be mixed up with the country’s zero carbon policy and zero carbon target by 2016, the code, however, may be enforced in instances when the local councils require developers to be code compliant, and when affordable housing funded by the Homes and Community Agency must meet Code level 3.

Code level 3, incidentally, specifies daily water consumption per person at less than 105 litres. CINTEP aims to help the average shower user consume 20 litres or less of water everyday but, says the Australian owned company, “without compromising on their enjoyment of showering.”

The recycling shower was initially invented in 2004 by Peter Brewin who was an industrial design student at the Royal College of Art in London at the time. Brewin licensed the technology to CINTEP, which further developed the revolutionary system into what it is today. The company’s website mentions that its patented technology, which is used for both commercial and residential applications, will be available in 2014 and that they are “actively seeking distributors around the world.”

CINTEP CEO Nick Christy, who co-founded the company with Brewin, weighs in on the recycling shower, indicating that using their shower is much like having power showers while still reining in energy costs and achieving Code level 3 compliance.

“Whether you’re renovating your bathroom, adding a new bathroom, or building a new house, the water recycling shower will work for you. It can be used with shower trays, over a bath, or in wetrooms, in single or multi-storey homes,” CINTEP shares.

CINTEP, with its corporate offices in the UK and Australia, designs and makes the most efficient shower systems in the world. The company has been cited numerous times by leading organisations for its innovation in the field of sustainable design, among them the prestigious James Dyson Award for the design and prototype of the recycling shower, the 2011 Green Challenge award for best business plan to reduce CO2 emissions, the British Standards Institution Environmental Design Award, and most recently, the Australian Association of Angel Investors (AAAI) as showcase winner among emerging companies.

A revolutionary new, low-cost way for print entrepreneurs to sell design online

/in , /by


Manchester, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 24 March 2013

A new service for print entrepreneurs was launched today in 12 countries and 9 languages. The TemplateCloud API allows online print shops and entrepreneurs to add thousands of designer templates to their existing website without requiring heavy investment.

Printers choose which designs to sell from a library of over 10,000 designs across a range of printed items like business cards, flyers, brochures and invitations. By embedding the TemplateCloud advanced editor into the printer’s website, their clients can personalise the design, upload photos or browse 14 million free images. Designs are available in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian and American English.

When a client checks out from the printer’s website, the TemplateCloud API makes a print-ready PDF automatically for the printer’s own presses or to send to a supplier, streamlining the whole process.

All TemplateCloud designs are crowd-sourced from a community of real designers. Designers use Adobe InDesign to build a template ­and no plugins are required. Graphic designers upload their finished design to TemplateCloud.com, where an automatic process converts this into an online editable template in minutes. Designs that sell best have industry-specific marketing copy and striking images, so designers are encouraged to invest time in each piece.

Chief Technology Officer of TemplateCloud, Peter Gunning, said “TemplateCloud isn’t like other design contests where businesses upload a brief, hundreds of designers enter their designs and only one designer wins. TemplateCloud is different. Our mantra is… design once, sell many. Each time a designer’s template is sold, anywhere in the world, we pay the designer a royalty – ­even if we translate it into a different language. Some of our top designers have already earned more than £5,000.”

Following an extensive private beta, TemplateCloud have today opened their API to general availability and are inviting print site owners and entrepreneurs who want to add online design capabilities to their site to register for developer documentation at http://www.templatecloud.com/developer

Designs are already being sold on print websites every day, including http://www.drukland.nl in The Netherlands, http://www.needaprint.ie in Ireland, http://www.flyerzone.co.uk in the United Kingdom and http://www.printing.com/fr in France.

TemplateCloud are also now accepting submissions from designers in the United Kingdom, Republic Of Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. Designers in Sweden, Italy and Portugal will be able to upload their designs from April. Gavin Cockerill, MD of TemplateCloud, said “A designer from Ireland can upload their design to the cloud and have it translated into French or Dutch automatically and be selling in a country they¹ve never visited, and in a language they don’t speak.”

Packages start at just £695 up front and minimum of £99/month.

Funding may also be available for budding entrepreneurs. TemplateCloud’s parent company, printing.com plc is a Delivery Partner for the UK Government¹s Start-Up Loan scheme. Entrepreneurs aged between 18-30 who live and work in England, could get a loan of up to £10,000 to help kick start their business. Find out more.

Revolutionary New Crowdsourcing Tech Start up, Tunii.com A Disruptive Idea in Lucrative Markets

/in , /by


Orange County, CA. (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

Though their initial focus has been on the music industry, Tunii plans to expand its patent-pending technology platform to promote a lot more than just music.

It looks like Tunii will soon help level the playing field for small and independent businesses, artists and entrepreneurs to compete with the “Big Guys”. Their promotion platform for music has been turning heads and raising eye brows since the soft launch of their beta site in November of 2012. See http://tunii.com/howto

“What we are building will create a healthy, free market competition that can benefit everyone, including the low budget, no budget and fortune 500 companies”, Says newly appointed CEO and Co-founder of Tunii, Keith Harrison “Tunii is building technology that will provide no upfront cost promotion platforms that let the world decide what products are worthy based on the merit of the product, not the marketing budget behind it”    

Tunii has already generated interest from record labels to help promote chart toping and platinum selling “name artists”. They have received thousands of song submissions from independent recording artists and one of the largest online distributors of independent music is also showing interest.

“The power of the platform is demonstrated by giving artists and fans around the world the ability to make money by simply sharing the music they love.” William Keck, Co-Founder of Tunii adds “We invented a method and technology for crowd sourced promotion that accounts for the full impact of a user’s actions, including secondary results that are not otherwise accounted for in other systems. What that means, Tunii users get paid by telling their friends about a great song or product regardless of who buys it. It’s just that simple.”

Exploring avenues including: song, app, game and book sales, advertising, CD & DVD production services, niche data, merchandise, ticket sales, promotion campaigns, publishing and sync licensing, Tunii’s patent-pending technology innovations are set to be a disruptive force in many lucrative digital product markets and beyond.
