With the UK government aiming to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, many organisations are transitioning to renewable heating solutions to align with the ultimate objective of creating a sustainable future.
Traditionally, institutions such as schools relied on traditional systems such as gas boilers, which circulate hot water through a series of radiators and underwater systems.
Renewable heating solutions such as heat pumps are significantly more efficient and versatile than their traditional counterparts, providing an effective source of heat, hot water and even cooling during the warmer months.
With above factors in mind, Leasowes High School was seeking a renewable heating solution to effectively heat their building. By replacing systems such as gas boilers with heat pumps, the school can benefit from environmental, financial and operational reimbursements – whilst actively contributing to the UK’s broader sustainability objectives.
Our team were able to identify that only 6 Harnitek 45kW Power XR Commercial Heat Pumps out of a possible 16 cascaded units were needed to sufficiently supply the premises with heating and hot water.
These heat pumps provide strong outputs, with flow temperatures of up to 60°C whilst still attaining an A++ energy efficiency rating.
Thorough planning ensured that the system would operate efficiently year-round, even during the colder months, providing consistent comfort and performance. The installation only took around a week, providing a seamless transition.
As a result, a highly efficient, modern heat pump system was installed that not only met the customer’s heating, hot water and cooling needs but also supported their goal of creating a more sustainable schooling environment.
