H&V Project of the Year
The project consisted of a 16-storey high-rise block and technology used included the EcoPod system, including thermal solar, bespoke building management system, cascade boilers, thermal stores, inverter smart circulation pumps and a plastic high riser system.
The modular plant room was constructed off-site and lifted onto the roof for final fitting. The project also included the fitting of 96 heat monitors within heat distribution units, installed within each apartment. The building management system provides real-time web-based monitoring and 24-hour access.
With benefits for vulnerable people and fire protection options for all, the EcoPod system has reduced carbon emissions from 160,000 kg to 69,000 kg.
LED lighting and inverter packs were also installed, allowing the project to achieve a reduction in fuel costs of 50 per cent and addressing fuel poverty issues, with savings passed directly to the client. As there is no stored DHW or individual gas boilers, no L8 testing or landlord gas certification is required.
