Our Technical Director, Guy Cashmore, explains that whilst the design of the ground side of a ground source heat pump installation is key, the design of the hot side is equally important for efficient performance.
In Spring 2015 Trent & Dove Housing and Kensa Contracting delivered the UK’s most ambitious retrofit upgrades programme of its time, replacing electric night storage heating with Kensa ground source heat pumps connected to a micro heat network over 133 one and two-bedroom bungalows over 15 different sites throughout Burton-upon-Trent.
This video documents this multi-award-winning Kensa Contracting scheme, which has subsequently provided a blueprint for retrofitting ground source heat pumps in UK social housing.
*Please note: the Non-Domestic RHI funding stream mentioned in this video has now expired. Explore other funding options here.
A Shropshire Rural Housing Association’s ground source heat project features eight new-build semi-detached houses and detached bungalows adjacent to a cluster of eight retrofit properties that also had Kensa ground source heat pump’s installed just 15 months before.
Each new build home contains an individual 6kW Kensa Shoebox heat pump fed via a communal borehole array.
