Integration Whitepaper for Sustainable Heating Solutions

Rinnai and Naked Energy Launch Innovative Solar and Heat Pump Integration Whitepaper for Sustainable Heating Solutions.

Rinnai and Naked Energy have collaborated to introduce a whitepaper as a precursor to a CIBSE certified CPD, the paper entitled Sustainable Synergy: Integrating Heat Pumps and Solar Thermal to Satisfy the Hot Water Needs of an archetype hotel.

The whitepaper researches and evaluates in fine detail the financial and operational outputs of a DHW solution comprising of high temperature heat pumps and solar thermal collectors utilized in an obvious commercial setting – an archetypal hotel.

Rinnai’s Sean Ehlen, together with Zanil Narsing of Naked Energy, have prepared both the whitepaper and CPD to provide the detailed data for building services consultants, system designers, main HVAC contractors and installers to consider when approaching commercial property installations that require strong and sustained system efficiency and maximized reductions in energy usage and carbon loads.

Within the main body of this paper various DHW systems operational capabilities were compared when satisfying the hot water demand of an archetype hotel. Simulation calculators were produced to highlight how the key metrics of each DHW system compared over a 20-year period.

The findings of this study demonstrate how parallel dual storage SAHP’s (Solar Assisted Heat Pumps) reduce the carbon loads by 96% whilst requiring 49.5% less primary energy, compared to a conventional gas-fired water heater system, in turn maximizing the systems efficiency.

The data extrapolated from this whitepaper further suggests that Rinnai’s parallel dual storage SAHP (Solar Assisted Heat Pumps) system should be considered by sites and all major end-users such as institutional domains, office blocks, retail malls and chain-hotels. Contractors and consultants are now with an expectation of clients’ requiring carbon reduction without diminishing performance. All sites are now expected to reduce carbon emissions whilst installing systems aligned with future building standards.

Rinnai’s latest CPD is part of an overall strategy that aims to supply UK customers with detailed analysis of decarbonising technology towards commercial applications. Rinnai will continue to offer valuable services and information to UK customers that assist in easy and appropriate product selection that delivers operational efficiency.

Rinnai’s design team offer a range of services that include cost and carbon calculations as well as a “Site Consultation Form” that details on-site data of current heating and hot water system capabilities. Customers can view the results in a rapid low carbon replacement suggestion by a professional team member.
