HEAT PUMPS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
Why Heat Pumps Are Ideal For Housing Developments?
Heat pumps for housing developments are only a nice-to-have alternative to fossil fuels and gas for generating heat. That’s until 2025, when heat pumps will become a necessary alternative as the United Kingdom government starts working towards achieving its 100% carbon-neutral goal by 2050.
Heat pumps are not only safer and less polluting to the environment, but they will also enhance the salability of your properties, help you attain compliance easier, and reduce the overhead costs of building a property.
Not to mention the benefit for the property resident who will pay significantly less for their energy bills.
Heat Pump Low Carbon Emissions For Housing Developments
As ground source heat pumps for housing developments are carbon-neutral, they can greatly increase the building regulations’ SAP rating.
Such heat pumps can also achieve a carbon saving of up to 70 percent compared to gas, on top of offering an easier and significantly cheaper way of achieving carbon compliance.
The Transition From Gas Systems To Heat Pump Systems For Housing Developments
The British government has made a commitment to end the use of gas and all heating associated with burning fossil fuels in newly built properties from 2025. This new legislation was introduced as part of the government’s plan to make the UK a carbon-neutral nation by the year 2050 following the global climate emergency declaration.
On top of the UK government’s plan to cut the nation’s carbon footprint by 78% by 2035, these crucial targets further strengthen the necessity for ground-source heating.
It’s of fundamental importance that property developers anticipate and address the ban on gas for future developments and make the switch to ground-source heat pumps.
The Correlation Between Project Scale & Improved Costs
When installing a ground source heat pump system for entire housing development as opposed to a single property, you can dramatically reduce the cost per property.
Generally speaking, you can cut the costs by about 30 to 50 percent. This is possible because most of the costs associated with the project, like moving around drilling equipment, can be spread across several homes within the development site.
Funding Options For Housing Developments
Several different funding options are available for installing heat pumps for housing developments. Visit the page below to explore your options.
THE CLADE HEAT PUMP PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
To give our heat pumps customers complete peace of mind. Following installation, commissioning and a 6 month run-in period the actual performance will be assessed against predicted performance. If the heat pump does not meet the guaranteed performance we will refund the cost of the heat pump and remove it from site.
ABOUT US
Clade is the UKs leading manufacturer of natural refrigerant heat pumps. With significant R&D, field trials and a proven deployed portfolio of over 500 natural refrigerant appliances there are no other UK manufacturers that come close to our expertise and experience.
Operating on a national basis from our green manufacturing Technology Centre in Leeds and our Head Office in Bristol, which has achieved CEEQUAL status and the internationally recognised BREEAM Excellent standard, we design, manufacture, supply and maintain heat pumps and refrigeration around the world.
HEAT PUMPS FAQ
Clade Engineering is able to provide heat pumps as either air, ground, or water source. The most suitable type of heat pump depends on several factors related to your property. Generally, air source heat pumps are the most popular because they have the fewest requirements to install. Any type of heat pump can provide hot water and heating to your building.
Heat pumps using CO2 refrigerant as the heat source are friendly to the environment because the CO2 they use stays contained within the appliance and does not get released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, the CO2 we use in our heat pumps has the lowest global warming potential (GWP) of 1 compared to 1000’s for other refrigerants which will all significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your building.
Clade are the industry leaders in heat pump technology. As the heat in buildings challenge became clearer, Clade began the R&D for a new range of heat pumps which would provide a solution for a growing market. The first heat pump was installed in a Co-Op store and achieved a staggering SCOP of 3.7. We have over 36 years of experience and all of our systems are designed and manufactured in the UK.
Our heat pumps meet environmental standards by using a natural refrigerant like CO2. It has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1, which reduces both cost and emissions.
Clade offers a full start to finish heat pumps solution. Our team of engineers design your system, manufacture and supply your heat pumps from our product range, our installation team ensures your heat pump is fully functional and our after sales support team provides ongoing maintenance. You can pick and choose as many or as few of our services to suit your requirements.We ensure that your heat pump system continues to function. Our heat pumps can generate heat from 50kW to multi mega-watt, with a maximum water temperature of over 80 degrees Celsius and a minimum external air temperature of -20 degrees Celsius. Each of our heat pumps also comes with total cooling recovery to ensure a high quality of continued functionality.
