LOGICAL THINKING MAKES RINNAI’s H1 – Hydrogen THE informed CHOICE

LOGICAL THINKING MAKES RINNAI’s

H1 – Hydrogen / BioLPG ready – H2 – Hybrid Solar Thermal and heat pump – H3 LOW-GWP heat pumps

THE informed CHOICE

 

Chris Goggin argues that when logically thinking of current UK national energy legislation, Rinnai’s range of H3 products can deliver all commercial, domestic and off-grid properties heating and hot water solutions. Rinnai’s H3 range is well placed to deliver heating and hot water to all UK sites that are interested in low-cost decarbonisation.

UK customers of energy and energy related products are presently experiencing increased levels of financial turbulence. UK energy policy stipulates that fossil fuels will be gradually withdrawn from power options and renewable energy alternatives being used in replacement.

The UK government views renewable sources of energy as cost-effective and sustainable. When thinking of investing in a heating or hot water system for a domestic or commercial property it is worth pausing to consider current and future legislative direction.

As fossil fuels are targeted for actively being phased out of circulation, seeking a decarbonising heating and hot water system has become a prominent issue to UK customers. UK customers must now think logically when considering future energy and energy related products.

Current domestic UK policy is keen on expanding on and offshore wind farms for electrical generation. Construction of on and offshore wind farms are continuing with several beginning operations soon, or have already started production, such as Triton Knoll and Hornsea 2.

Only recently wind farms across the UK have set a record for secondary power generation. National Grid ESO said that during a 30-minute period on the 2nd of November, wind farms accounted for 53% of Britain’s electricity. The previous record was set last week when 19,936MW of electricity was provided towards national demand by on and offshore wind farms in a half hour period.

UK acceptance of renewable wind farms has been gradually growing since initial introduction in the 1980s. Communities strongly opposed plans to install wind farms as they were viewed as distorting natural scenery and therefore potentially affecting house prices.

Since the 1980s a climate emergency has been imposed and energy costs have reached exorbitant levels. A survey taken by RenewableUK demonstrates that the UK public now overwhelmingly supports the installation of new solar, wind (on and offshore) and wave power facilities to tackle on-going issues relating to the cost-of-living crises and energy costs.

RenewableUK gathered the following results when asking if the public was in favour of renewable energy installations that reduce electricity bills: 81% were in favour of solar energy, 76% of people backed offshore wind, 74% in favour of onshore wind and 72% support tidal and wave power.

To protect UK customers against market volatility and enhance domestic energy security, the UK government must seek alternative and sustainable methods of energy cultivation. As a result, renewable sources of energy will be steadily introduced into the UK domestic energy mix.

Public support and relaxed legislation will see renewable energy production and dispersal become widespread. Rinnai hold a selection of products capable of fulfilling any UK customer requirements regarding the purchase of a decarbonising heating and hot water system.

Rinnai’s H3 range includes all mainstream varieties of renewable energy alternative options including, solar thermal, heat pumps, Bio LPG water heaters and boilers and solar thermal tube collectors. All options focus on decarbonisation and reducing customer cost across all stages of product life cycle.

Rinnai can offer multiple avenues of cost reducing decarbonisation across various energy vectors. To create a healthier way of living, Rinnai is offering customer choices in hot water provision as well as heating domestic and commercial buildings through a wide range of renewable energy systems.

Rinnai’s solar thermal water heating systems are a decarbonising commercial option. Rinnai’s Solar thermal VirtuHOT units are designed and manufactured in conjunction with Naked Energy. Core design values of VirtuHOT has benefited from multiple workshops with experienced installers, whose valuable insights have been integrated into design and innovation. VirtuHOT saves up to 3.5x more carbon per m2 compared to conventional solar technology.

Rinnai’s H3 range of decarbonising products include commercial and domestic heat pumps that contain a variety of features: the HPIH range of commercial heat pumps is suited towards schools, restaurants and small retail outlets. Rinnai’s HPIH Monobloc Air Source Heat Pumps – 21, 26, 28 & 32kW range can allow for up to seven units to be cascaded together or operate alone as one unit. Once joined together – can serve increased demand for heating and hot water.

The HPIH series includes a range of controls and system peripherals which ensures that all technical machinations can be monitored. Rinnai’s HPIH commercial heat pumps also deploy the refrigerant – R32, which contains a low GWP. The HPIH use maintains an ERP rating of A++ making this range of heat pumps an ideal economic and environmental option for refurbishment projects.

Rinnai’s HPHP series of domestic heat pumps arrive with the ability to save up to 25% of power input, enhancing efficiency and operational performance. State-of-the-art technology added in the injection process outperforms gas compression technology and ensures that even with outside temperatures of –25 Celsius, heating and hot water of up to 60 + Celsius can still be delivered.

Rinnai’s HPI SL range models perform with ultra-low sound capability ensuring compatibility with areas that hold strict sound compliance standards. All units operate in three different modes: heating, cooling and DHW. All three models include specific system programmes that enhances product performance in all modes.

UK energy policy is aimed towards long term renewable energy production that is sustainable and free from outside malign market influences. Logical thinking infers that the UK customer must begin considering investing in decarbonising renewable heating and hot water provision. For more information and details contact

TRILUX IN PARTNERSHIP TO SAVE 1.3 TONNES OF MATERIAL

By implementing the Reuse model of lighting circularity, TRILUX has cut lighting energy costs by 47% for tenants of a prestigious London office, reducing their carbon footprint by 6.6M tonnes of CO2 and by reusing the existing luminaires saved 1.3 tonnes of new material being created.

Constructed in 2003, One London Wall is a prominent landmark office building designed by Foster & Partners. The available space comprises 200,000 ft2 of Grade A office accommodation which benefits from full height glazing and offers excellent levels of natural light. The building is ideally situated to take advantage of the superb amenities in the bustling City of London and the vibrant Farringdon area.

Design and build specialists Epiphany secured two floors (3 and 5) of CAT A & CAT A+ fit-out in this remarkable building. For the lighting, the client wanted to keep the same look and feel but improve the energy efficiency.

The chosen lighting partner, TRILUX, takes a forward-thinking approach to sustainability and proposes several viable routes its clients can take to limit resource use. It believes that products that do not generate waste and do not themselves become waste are ideal for a circular economy. With sustainable management of material flows, companies can significantly contribute to climate and resource protection.

The TRILUX design team worked collaboratively with Epiphany to determine the best solution to improve lighting efficiency and reuse as much material as possible.

Here, it was possible to reuse the existing luminaire and redesign it with LEDs and a new gear tray—retaining the main body and other usable parts – a perfect example of circular principles at play.

Working to a tight timescale, the TRILUX design team took sample luminaires back to its manufacturing site and designed a retrofit LED solution. Over 400 14W, 21W, and 26W T5 and TC-D fluorescent luminaires now incorporate LEDs and DALI gear trays. The new design links to existing DALI control to take advantage of Daylight linking, making maximum use of natural light.

Apart from improving the working conditions for new tenants, circular lighting principles have helped the office building cut its lighting energy costs by an impressive 47% and reduce its carbon footprint by 6.6M tonnes of CO2. The longer lifetime of the LEDs means maintenance has been minimised, too, allowing the facilities teams to focus on other business areas.

Reusing the existing luminaires has saved 1.3 tonnes of new material being created, reducing material waste, and preserving virgin material resources. Furthermore, the old T5 and TC-D fluorescent lamps were collected from the site for professional recycling.

Darren Furlong, Director of Epiphany, comments, “There’s only one way to deliver consistently exceptional results. And that’s by working with tried and tested tradespeople. So, we make sure to treat our suppliers as we do our employees. In return, we get a loyal team of craftspeople who go the extra mile on every project. This is always the case when working with the team at TRILUX. In this case, they pulled out all the stops helping the client to achieve greater energy efficiency in the most sustainable and cost-effective way.”

A little help from Saniflo

The former headquarters of British iconic retailer Woolworths located at 242 Marylebone Road in London, is a striking building constructed of red bricks with a facade of Portland Stone to the front elevation. It is currently being transformed into homes, offices and retail premises, including an events auditorium, rooftop bar, coffee shop, cyclist zone and health and wellbeing amenities. While the restoration is underway, the contractor has installed site welfare facilities, including several WC blocks, for the construction workforce.

Initially, the WCs relied on gravity drainage to discharge the waste to a soil and vent pipe some 40m away. However, blockages occurred and there were concerns that the situation would worsen as the full complement of workers arrived on site. An enquiry for a solution was lodged with the Saniflo technical team who swiftly visited the site to scope out the requirement and recommended a Zehnder Kompaktboy Duplex lifting station. The unit was able to installed below the WC blocks, in the basement, allowing for optimum gravity fall and pumping the waste back to the main sewer. The powerful, 3-phase pump, which can be integrated into the building management system if required, has two vortex pumps as a fail-safe precaution. This feature provides continuity of operation, which is critical to the building works.

Tim Pestell, Managing Director of Saniflo is delighted to be involved in another project in the Capital, which is preserving iconic and historical buildings for future generations. He says: “As a company we enjoy being involved with change of use projects such as these. Since the installation of the pump, the drainage issues have been solved and the refurbishment is going forward without the worry of failing WCs.  Saniflo is often involved in ensuring important projects go ahead by providing pumps, lifting stations and macerators for site welfare facilities and for any number of building and renovation projects. There really is a Saniflo product for every job. Our technical team is always on hand to provide advice and it’s always advisable to speak to the team at the outset of project to avoid potential problems.”

Cut your material miles with West Fraser’s home-grown panels

With growing pressure on the UK construction industry to adhere to environmental targets, it has never been more important to understand the journey materials have taken before they arrive on site.  At West Fraser’s UK sites, all engineered wood panels are made with a commitment to making better products for a sustainable future. West Fraser’s UK manufactured SterlingOSB Zero and CaberMDF are made from responsibly managed forests.

With the ongoing demand to provide more homes in the UK, coupled with the drive to use sustainable building materials, it is little surprise that the timber frame market is making use of SterlingOSB Zero.  As Steve Roebuck, West Fraser’s European Health & Safety Director explains, “Virtually all housebuilding in Scotland has been timber framed for many years.  The markets are now growing in England and Wales with timber frame construction being recognised for its thermal capacity and significant insulating properties.  At West Fraser, we are proud to provide the UK construction industry the materials it needs to achieve its environmental goals.  Wood comes from a sustainable source and is renewable.  You’re not digging something out of the ground to make bricks”.

West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero is unique in the market by being the only zero added formaldehyde OSB manufactured in the UK.  Produced from forest thinnings taken from sustainably managed forests, the board is certified according to the guidelines of the FSC® (C012533) or PEFC®.

What are the other environmental benefits to those using West Fraser panels?  West Fraser delivers a net carbon negative benefit in all the products produced in the UK, locking up more CO2e in the products (and lifetime of use) than is emitted in the manufacture of them.  That accounts for everything from forest to customer, including harvesting, production, sales and logistics.
