Heat-recovery air-source heat pumps provide simultaneous heating and cooling, supplemented by hydrogen-ready gas boilers to future‑proof the plant.
The heat‑recovery system transfers energy between areas with different temperature profiles, using surplus cooling to serve heating demands. Taking a whole‑site view of loads allowed us to size plant more efficiently, reducing capital spend while cutting lifetime energy use and carbon.
Technologies
Heat‑recovery ASHPs (simultaneous heat/cool), hydrogen‑ready gas boilers
Scope
Central energy centre, inter‑zone heat recovery, distribution & controls
Outcome
Lower CAPEX, reduced energy demand & emissions, future‑proofed for hydrogen
