Association issues stern<br />

reminder to fly-tippers<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

DON’T BE a tosser.<br />

That’s the message the Richmond<br />

Residents and Business<br />

Association is giving to “low<br />

lives” who have used their community<br />

as a rubbish dumping<br />

ground in the past decade.<br />

It was why members resorted<br />

to producing their own warning<br />

signs reminding people to stop<br />

dumping piles of household<br />

trash, including unwanted<br />

furniture.<br />

And so far it has worked in<br />

spite of repeated requests to the<br />

city council to enforce fly-tippers<br />

by installing crime prevention<br />

cameras in areas by the Avon<br />

River.<br />

The area is used by many<br />

who love to take walks near the<br />

former red zone.<br />

“It’s really a deterrent, we have<br />

seen a decrease [in dumping] but<br />

not completely,” said association<br />

chairwoman Vicki Brown.<br />

“We designed and commissioned<br />

these signs to deter<br />

people from fly-tipping in our<br />

area, as well as so close to our<br />

waterways. It was getting excessive.<br />

WARNING: A stern but humourous reminder at the corner of Swanns Rd and River Rd for people to stop dumping<br />

rubbish in Richmond and other areas near the former red zone. ​<br />

High school band vies for<br />

Rockquest national title<br />

A FIVE-PIECE R&B band from<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School has<br />

stood out from more than 750<br />

musical acts for a chance to snag<br />

the Smokefreerockquest national<br />

title.<br />

After winning the regional<br />

finals in May, the Single Malt<br />

band was invited to apply for a<br />

spot to compete at the national<br />

final in Auckland next month.<br />

Comprising of Cooper Gibb-<br />

Faumuina, Ryan Diggs, Jed<br />

Rimmer, Robin McGregor and<br />

Javaan Gribben, the students<br />

have been selected by judges<br />

to join the top 10 school bands<br />

across the country based on<br />

their video submission.<br />

Single Malt is one of two<br />

Christchurch bands to perform<br />

at the finals, with hard-rock<br />

band Kenring of Middleton<br />

Grange School also making the<br />

cut.<br />

Judge Ash Wallace said she<br />

was incredibly impressed with<br />

the top acts this year.<br />

Judges had to consider 30 acts<br />

that made the last stage of selection<br />

for a chance to be chosen to<br />

compete at nationals<br />

CHANCE: Shirley Boys’ High School students and Single Malt band members Cooper<br />

Gibb-Faumuina, Ryan Diggs, Jed Rimmer, Robin McGregor and Javaan Gribben were<br />

chosen to compete at the Smokefreerockquest national finals. ​<br />

“There was always going to be<br />

a unique energy and enthusiasm<br />

this year after such a hard year<br />

for the music community in<br />

2020,” she said.<br />

“The top 30 this year, all of<br />

them, submitted videos that were<br />

of an incredibly high standard.<br />

All the acts had written awesome<br />

songs, and were obviously having<br />

so much fun performing and<br />

sharing their craft.<br />

“That is what music is all<br />

about so it has just been such a<br />

thrill to see that.”<br />

The top 10 includes seven<br />

bands and three solo-duo acts.<br />

In its 34th year,<br />

Smokefreerockquest is<br />

recognised as a launching pad<br />

for many great Kiwi musicians,<br />

including Marlon Williams,<br />

Broods, Kimbra and Alien<br />

Weaponry.<br />

Call to keep<br />

70km/h<br />

speed limit<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

LINWOOD-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Darrell Latham wants the city<br />

council to keep Humphreys Drive<br />

at 70km/h.<br />

He is concerned the proposed<br />

speed reduction will increase<br />

commuter times for motorists<br />

driving into the city.<br />

“Given the recent speed reductions<br />

from 50km/h to 30km/h<br />

through the Woolston Village,<br />

transit times for residents commuting<br />

to the city are likely to<br />

increase,” he said.<br />

“The route via Humphreys<br />

Drive provides an alternative and<br />

quicker option for many coastal<br />

residents.”<br />

The city council is proposing<br />

to reduce the current 70km/h<br />

speed to 60km/h in an effort to<br />

make it safer for both cyclists and<br />

motorists who share the road.<br />

City council transport<br />

operations manager Steffan<br />

Thomas said the speed limit<br />

reduction would also “better<br />

reflect the safe and appropriate<br />

speed recommended by current<br />

speed management guidance<br />

from Waka Kotahi New Zealand<br />

Transport Agency.”<br />

School Update<br />

Manukura Kōrero<br />

He kākano ahau i ruia mai i Rangiātea<br />

I am a seed which was sewn in the heavens of Rangiatea<br />

Kia Ora Koutou Katoa, ngā mihinui ki te whānau o Haeata.<br />

The greatest gift we have as a community is our tamariki,<br />

because our tamariki are our past, our present and our<br />

future. As a community we must ensure that above all<br />

things our tamariki and rangatahi are<br />

always our first priority.<br />

Another gift Aranui whānau have is<br />

Haeata. A gift given and deserved to<br />

ensure that tamariki and rangatahi in the<br />

East have access to quality education<br />

framed by innovative ako/teaching and<br />

learning and supported by one of the<br />

most sophisticated modern learning<br />

environments in the country.<br />

There are some who attempt to describe<br />

Haeata’s building design as ‘nothing<br />

more than a ‘giant barn.’ Nothing could<br />

be further from the truth and I need to<br />

make clear here that you as whānau can<br />

be assured that our learning environment<br />

caters for the best in innovative curriculum<br />

delivery and design. With the introduction<br />

of He Korowai manaaki, our ‘better<br />

behaviour for learning’ strategy, our tamariki and rangatahi<br />

can now focus on their core business - the business of<br />

quality ako experiences.<br />

Our next wero is to raise attendance rates for all ākonga.<br />

Our tamariki and rangatahi, like those around the motu,<br />

sometimes find it hard to engage. So much that is<br />

challenging for them lies outside the kura gate, and outside<br />

our control. On-line bullying, social media overload,<br />

unhealthy ‘friendships’ and a newly<br />

emerging ‘apocalypse anxiety,’ around<br />

issues to do with climate change burden<br />

ākonga unnecessarily.<br />

We need to free ākonga from these<br />

constraints and let them be kids. While<br />

they might demand to be treated like<br />

adults, theirs is not yet an adult world.<br />

Right now they don’t need to worry<br />

about paying the power, the phone, the<br />

food, the rent or the mortgage - they<br />

have years ahead of them to do that.<br />

What they do need to do is grow - in<br />

a nurturing and safe environment - at<br />

home and at kura.<br />

So, as their whānau, at home and at kura,<br />

let’s commit to letting them be kids for as<br />

long as they can be, and to ensuring they<br />

get to enjoy their school years; because some would say<br />

our school days are the best days of our lives.<br />

Let’s make it so for all of our tamariki and rangatahi!<br />

Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui.<br />

Arohanui<br />

Whaea Peggy<br />

Recycle a Device<br />

Kick Off Haeata <strong>2021</strong><br />

Recycle a Device started<br />

a programme at Haeata<br />

at the end of Term 2 that<br />

we are very excited to<br />

share with you!<br />

This was a very important<br />

door that has been<br />

opened today for some<br />

of our ākonga and for<br />

our kura. Providing an<br />

experience of working<br />

within an IT field for our<br />

ākonga is something that<br />

we are so happy to be<br />

achieving, in partnership<br />

with Digital Futures<br />

Aotearoa.<br />

Our ākonga got an opportunity to see how a laptop works,<br />

and how to pull them apart and put them back together. This<br />

programme will continue throughout lunchtimes as our ākonga<br />

get sent more and more devices to recycle and repair. These<br />

devices can then be used at Haeata or be sent to whānau who<br />

need them. What an exciting initiative for our ākonga to be a<br />

part of to both learn and give back to the community.<br />

Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s University<br />

Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s University aims to raise young<br />

people’s aspirations for higher education and encourage lifelong<br />

learning. The University of Canterbury and Lincoln University are<br />

working in partnership to deliver the programme, which is the first of<br />

its kind in New Zealand.<br />

They fill the passport with hours<br />

of learning or volunteering<br />

outside the school classroom.<br />

The passport is stamped by<br />

registered Learning Destinations<br />

or volunteering organisations.<br />

Once 30 hours of learning or volunteering are reached, students<br />

are invited to attend a graduation ceremony to celebrate their<br />

achievements.<br />

We were so excited to see the success in 2020, that this year we have<br />

managed to get 40 spots for <strong>2021</strong>. This is an exciting opportunity for<br />

our ākonga to experience success in <strong>2021</strong>!<br />

At the end of term 2 we had a trip to Lincoln University. A day of<br />

new experiences into university life.<br />

• Looking after animals and the impact on agriculture and farming -<br />

all about sheep 101.<br />

• What makes a plane?<br />

• Activity: Ocean Science, conservation. What happens to plastics in the sea?<br />

• Soil Food, Web/Venomous Spiders: had the chance to speak to NZ’s experts.<br />

Such a great experience for our ākonga to see what a university is all about!<br />

We also gained 3 hours towards our November graduation.<br />

New mural to power up the red zone<br />

A VIBRANT new road mural<br />

is brightening up mid-winter<br />

days in the former red zone,<br />

with the artist hoping it will help<br />

encourage people to explore the<br />

space.<br />

‘Crossings’ by New Brighton<br />

artist Nathan Ingram, also<br />

known as Dr Suits, is an abstract<br />

artwork painted on Burwood’s<br />

Corserland St.<br />

The street leads through<br />

a range of public activities<br />

facilitated by landowners<br />

Toitū Te Whenua LINZ and<br />

leaseholders Life in Vacant<br />

Spaces.<br />

The mural features geometric<br />

shapes that play on the way roads<br />

remain in the red zone in spite<br />

of the absence of the houses they<br />

once served.<br />

A collaboration between Dr<br />

Suits and arts facilitators Watch<br />

this Space, it is one of a series<br />

of creative additions to a ninehectare<br />

area known as East x<br />

East.<br />

“It heightens the impact of<br />

the road markings to a more<br />

purely aesthetic level, while<br />

also encouraging the viewer to<br />

enter the work and play across<br />

its shapes and lines,” said Watch<br />

this Space’s Dr Reuben Woods.<br />

“It also plays on the natural<br />

environment by aligning with<br />

REIMAGINED: New Brighton artist Nathan Ingram has painted a mural in the former red<br />

zone that complements other artwork encouraging people to play games in the area.<br />

the shadows cast by nearby<br />

power poles.”<br />

The mural is complemented<br />

by another 80s-inspired artwork<br />

by local artists Porta and<br />

Bols – the latest addition to<br />

their ‘Power Up!’ interactive<br />

installation.<br />

Painted onto a shipping<br />

container, the new artwork uses<br />

a pixelated style reminiscent of<br />

a video game screen, inviting<br />

people to play the nearby ‘Power<br />

Up!’ treasure hunt game.<br />

‘Power Up!’ includes retro<br />

arcade game rewards – such as<br />

coins, potions, treasure chests<br />

and swords – that are distributed<br />

around the area for people to<br />

seek out and power up.<br />

“The game not only adds to the<br />

idea of playing in the red zone,<br />

but also draws on the history<br />

of the area as a site for family<br />

homes where children grew up<br />

playing,” said Dr Woods.<br />

All the artworks and games<br />

ultimately aim to encourage<br />

people to explore and reimagine<br />

the area.<br />

Said Dr Woods: “The red<br />

zone is loaded with associative<br />

meanings and memories, but at<br />

the same time needs to speak<br />

of the future and what we can<br />

do with these spaces. Adding<br />

creative interventions is a<br />

good way to encourage<br />

people to think about their<br />

surroundings and how to engage<br />

with [them].”<br />

A grant from the city council’s<br />

Red Zone Transitional Land Use<br />

fund was approved by Te Tira<br />

Kāhikuhiku to help fund the<br />

creation of the new murals.<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Problem started 10 years<br />

ago after earthquake<br />

• From page 1<br />

“The council don’t do any enforcement<br />

of fly-tipping and rely<br />

on locals to Snap Send Solve for<br />

disposal of rubbish.”<br />

A city council spokesperson<br />

said the residential red zone team<br />

has spoken with residents about<br />

fly-tipping deterrent options,<br />

including CCTV.<br />

But they said a business<br />

case was needed<br />

to support the install,<br />

repair, maintenance, and<br />

operational costs.<br />

“Occasional fly-tipping<br />

would not trigger this<br />

expense normally,” they<br />

said.<br />

“CCTV was trialled by the<br />

Canterbury Earthquake Recovery<br />

Authority when they managed<br />

the residential red zone, but it<br />

wasn’t cost-effective.”<br />

The joint venture was between<br />

the Riverlution Eco Hub and We<br />

are Richmond – the association’s<br />

official name.<br />

Initially, “normal” looking<br />

signs were installed, but when<br />

they were ignored, the groups<br />

decided to amp it up with signs<br />

that delivered the message loud<br />

and clear.<br />

The improved signs were put<br />

up at several spots across the area<br />

in the last few months. One can<br />

Vicki Brown<br />

be found at the corner of Swanns<br />

and River Rds.<br />

They said the community has<br />

had to put up with the problem<br />

as far back as the February 22,<br />

2011, earthquake when the area<br />

became the residential red zone.<br />

“We have had praised from<br />

the city council parks<br />

department, our community<br />

boards and other<br />

resident’s associations<br />

for pushing forward with<br />

initiatives to better our<br />

community,” said Brown.<br />

The city council<br />

spokesperson said it<br />

was difficult to identify<br />

offenders, especially as the Litter<br />

Act 1979 requires observation<br />

of a person committing an offence<br />

or a reasonable cause for<br />

suspicion.<br />

It is currently working on engaging<br />

with community boards<br />

for help in targeting identified<br />

hot spots and wider community<br />

education.<br />

“This is a national issue that<br />

is known to be on the rise,” they<br />

said.<br />

“Even in cases where there is<br />

something in the dumped contents<br />

that could lead us to who<br />

may have been involved, this is<br />

not sufficient evidence to positively<br />

identify the offender.”<br />

Grant to help more students<br />

get involved in native planting<br />

A CHARITABLE trust that<br />

is working with 16 schools to<br />

populate parts of the former red<br />

zone with native plants is getting<br />

a $61,400 grant to expand its<br />

operation.<br />

The money will come from<br />

the Red Zones Transitional Use<br />

Fund that was set up by the city<br />

council to provide support to<br />

projects and events<br />

Ahead of their longer-term<br />

regeneration, the projects will<br />

help create activity and vibrancy<br />

in the former red zone areas.<br />

Some of the schools involved<br />

include Linwood College, Rawhiti<br />

Primary, St Andrew’s College,<br />

Burnside Primary, Christ’s College,<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School,<br />

Christchurch South Intermediate<br />

and St Margaret’s College.<br />

“The Eco-Action Nursery<br />

Trust is doing an amazing job at<br />

both connecting young people<br />

with the former red zone area<br />

along the Ōtākaro Avon River<br />

Corridor and educating them<br />

about the process for endemic<br />

native revegetation,’’ sustainability<br />

and community resilience<br />

chairwoman and city councillor<br />

Sara Templeton said.<br />

The trust was set up two years<br />

ago.<br />

It collects endemic native plant<br />

VOLUNTEERS: The Eco-Action Nursery Trust, which works<br />

with 16 schools across the city, has received a grant, allowing<br />

it to teach more young people about native planting.<br />

seeds, under permit from Travis<br />

Wetland and Riccarton Bush,<br />

propagates seedlings and grows<br />

plants at a central nursery at<br />

Christ’s College, using volunteer<br />

school students and supervisors.<br />

It is working with the schools<br />

to help them establish satellite<br />

nurseries, providing start-up kits<br />

of 500 to 1000 plants and all the<br />

equipment they need to successfully<br />

grow them.<br />

Eco-Action Nursery Trust<br />

chairwoman David Newton<br />

said the grant will allow it to get<br />

more schools and young people<br />

involved in the growing and<br />

planting process.<br />

“The native trees and plants that<br />

are being grown by the students<br />

through the nursery programme<br />

provide much-needed food and<br />

habitats for native birds and lizards,<br />

which is another important<br />

focus for us,’’ Newton said.<br />

The trust has a five-year<br />

lease on a parcel of land off<br />

Chimera Cres, in the Ōtākaro<br />

Avon River Corridor which it<br />

has started planting with the<br />

help of volunteers. It also has a<br />

lease on another area of land off<br />

Gayhurst Tce that will be ready<br />

for planting in winter next year.

We’re rolling out<br />

COVID-19 vaccinations<br />

to Aotearoa New Zealand<br />

Everyone aged 60+ can book their vaccination now<br />

New Zealanders aged 60+ can book now at BookMyVaccine.nz or call<br />

0800 28 29 26. If you’re in one of our priority groups (Groups 1, 2 and 3)<br />

and haven’t been vaccinated, don’t worry, you can still make your booking.<br />

We’re rolling out Group 4 in age bands<br />

Everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand will be able to get the vaccine – it’s free and there’s enough vaccine for everyone.<br />

With more than 2.5 million people aged under 65, to make the process flow smoothly, we’re breaking it down by age bands.<br />

We’re starting with the oldest and working our way down to the youngest.<br />

Important dates<br />

28 July Everyone 60+ Can book now<br />

11 <strong>August</strong> Everyone 55+ Bookings open<br />

Bookings will open soon to the rest of Aotearoa in age bands,<br />

from oldest to youngest. Remember, once you’re eligible to be<br />

vaccinated, you can book at any time. There’s no cut off.<br />

60 +<br />

55 + 45 + 35 + 16 +<br />

When it’s your time to book a vaccination<br />

Step 1: Receiving an invitation<br />

When you’re eligible, you’ll receive a letter inviting you to book<br />

at BookMyVaccine.nz. We’ll follow up with an email and text.<br />

Step 2: Make your booking<br />

Once you’ve received your invitation, or when your age band is<br />

open, go to BookMyVaccine.nz to book your appointments.<br />

If you’re unable to book online, you can ring the COVID Vaccination<br />

Healthline on 0800 28 29 26 (8am to 8pm, 7 days). We’ll make the<br />

booking for you and answer any questions. Interpreters are available<br />

if you need them.<br />

You can expect to have your first vaccination six to eight weeks after<br />

you make your booking. Depending on where and when you’d like to<br />

be vaccinated, you might find an appointment earlier. You’ll need<br />

to leave at least three weeks between your first and second doses.<br />

Step 3: Get your vaccination<br />

We’ll send a reminder the day before each appointment. It’s very<br />

important to get two doses of the vaccine – this will give you the<br />

best protection.<br />

Other ways to get vaccinated<br />

There are other ways to be vaccinated, including workplace<br />

vaccinations and other vaccination events around the country.<br />

In many remote rural communities, we will vaccinate all age groups<br />

at the same time.<br />

Many GPs are also providing COVID-19 vaccinations and are taking<br />

bookings directly. To find out if your GP is offering this service,<br />

visit healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19-vaccination<br />

The stronger our immunity, the greater our possibilities.<br />

New Brighton<br />

A local reflects on the<br />

pleasures of New Brighton<br />

It has been reported that one of the great<br />

pleasures of living in New Brighton, is getting<br />

out on the weekends or after work and selecting<br />

one of the many options available in order to<br />

relax and unwind.<br />

Commonly known activities include the<br />

beach, library, pier, and the new hot pools<br />

which each showcase the prominent central<br />

area. Less known activities include cycle rides.<br />

One of them being the ride along the stretch of<br />

beach between Southshore north to Waimairi.<br />

To bike along its length is a stunning<br />

experience. It is a reminder of why the coastal<br />

area is referred to as an amazing place. Starting<br />

off from Southshore and passing the almost<br />

completed very impressive New Brighton surf<br />

club under a blue sky and calm conditions, it is<br />

quickly evident how much the beach is used in<br />

the height of winter.<br />

Hundreds of people are walking or running<br />

along the beach and dunes or cycling along<br />

the coastal track as they express their delight.<br />

Pedalling northwards along the flat wide beach,<br />

the landscape changes where storms have eaten<br />

into the sand banks and created mini cliff faces,<br />

and the sun-lit landmark buildings along the<br />

way act as a guide posts.<br />

Other landmarks include the North Brighton<br />

Community centre, the iconic North Beach,<br />

Waimairi and Spencer Park surf clubs.<br />

Scattered across areas are children on<br />

ponies, wind surfers, colourful kites, and<br />

powered hang gliders. Nearing the river<br />

mouth, the amount of woody debris increases<br />

along the sand dune fringe as piles line the<br />

banks of the Waimakariri River which have<br />

resulted from the recent flood surge.<br />

The 18km ride starting along the Southshore<br />

spit displays white pristine seascape and is a<br />

great winter activity to explore as one of many<br />

pleasures of New Brighton.<br />

seaside treasures<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />

for farm and rural residents around the<br />

Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />

residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />

customer service for which RDP is known<br />

for in rural communities, through their<br />

home heating diesel.<br />

RDP began its home heating diesel<br />

delivery service to the lower South Island’s<br />

main urban centres of Christchurch, Timaru,<br />

Dunedin and Invercargill a number of years<br />

ago. Customer demand has continued<br />

to increase year upon year, and RDP has<br />

responded with specialised improvements to<br />

its delivery equipment.<br />

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home<br />

heating diesel in each urban centre are<br />

drawn from the company’s extensive<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

vehicle fleet. This means they have the latest<br />

communication and GPS tracking technology<br />

on board, so the operations team always<br />

know where they are and how far away they<br />

are from their next delivery stop.<br />

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />

through which the diesel is pumped from<br />

the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />

you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

For all enquiries please phone<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Ground moisture barrier<br />

under low sub-floor<br />

Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />

its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />

to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />

and healthy for their families throughout<br />

winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />

many of our older properties which suffer<br />

from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />

people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />

from rising damp which can be associated<br />

with health problems. Independent tests have<br />

shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />

from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />

leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />

musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />

very young are especially vulnerable.<br />

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />

locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />

understands the problems caused by rising<br />

damp and are there to help. They will come<br />

to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />

flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />

floored home.<br />

While insulation is important, it has been<br />

recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />

villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />

Standards introduced by the government<br />

effective from the 1st July 2019 now has<br />

a requirement to install ground moisture<br />

barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />

moisture in the home.<br />

Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />

Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />

damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />

on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />

where the floor is suspended over damp<br />

ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />

close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />

Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />

that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />

underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />

reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />

• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />

cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />

under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />

home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

New Zealand.<br />

Zone Control for your<br />

Ducted heat pump<br />

Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient<br />

way to heat (or cool) your home. The<br />

air from the heat pump is ducted to<br />

several rooms or zones in your house.<br />

Using a zone control system makes your<br />

ducted heat pump even more efficient, by<br />

specifying the amount of heat required<br />

in each area, so not wasting energy to<br />

overheat or overcool any room.<br />

The AirTouch4 zone control system<br />

from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump<br />

air zoning to a whole new level of comfort<br />

and energy efficiency.<br />

AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone<br />

Control<br />

Have total control of your comfort zone:<br />

AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different<br />

level of conditioned air in the room they<br />

are in.<br />

Save money on the power bill, without<br />

compromising on comfort, by only<br />

running the heating or cooling where<br />

you need it with Smart Zoning. Plus with<br />

runtime tracking, energy and airflow<br />

management technology, you can enjoy<br />

greater efficiency and savings from your<br />

family’s ducted heat pump.<br />

The AirTouch4 can also connect to<br />

Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />

Not every home is designed equal. Not<br />

every room is either. 60 % Temperatures can<br />

often fluctuate from one room to the next<br />

because of sunlight, room activity or other<br />

factors.<br />

With AirTouch4’s Individual<br />

Temperature Control Technology (ITC),<br />

the AirTouch monitors temperatures<br />

and smartly adjusts airflow as needed<br />

around your home with the aid of multiple<br />

wireless temperature sensors instead of a<br />

single sensor in one location. When some<br />

rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch<br />

will adjust airflow to maintain your desired<br />

temperature, without wasting conditioned<br />

air on rooms already comfortable.<br />
