Rinnai Director Chris Goggin explores the financial and ecological benefits of hybrid technology in heating and hot water delivery. Hybrid systems offer an innovative approach to decarbonisation and can provide a practical first step for projects that are not yet able to adopt technologies such as heat pumps as a standalone solution. UK energy policy is focused on reducing and eventually eliminating the use of fossil fuels. During the transition away from coal, oil, petrol an

Specify & Build met with Qvantum UK to learn why its water-to-water heat pump has been created for apartment developments. As the Future Homes Standard moves the newbuild housing sector away from fossil fuel heating, heat pumps are increasingly being positioned as the default route to decarbonisation. While air source systems have become the most familiar option, apartment developments often present different challenges. External space can be limited, acoustic considerations

Alpha has expanded its renewable heating technology range with the Magis M Top, a monobloc air source heat pump designed for newbuild and retrofit residential properties. The Magis M Top provides heating, cooling and domestic hot water and can achieve flow temperatures of up to 75°C. Using advanced inverter technology, the system regulates its output in line with real-time demand. This ensures maximum performance while minimising electricity consumption, especially during mi

Eight golden tickets took a group of installers to ESBE’s Reftele factory in Sweden for an intensive, entertaining two-day course, where they could hone their skills and familiarise themselves with pumps and valves specifically developed to improve heat pump performance. The group had all attended an industry training seminar last September at Kings Norton Golf Club, Birmingham, organised by iNstallD. This education hub was established by engineer Dominic Eves, who is a stron

Specify & Build met with Craig Dolan, Senior Product Manager at Dimplex, to learn how the Latitude Commercial air source heat pump addresses practical low-carbon specification challenges. As the UK built environment continues its shift away from fossil fuel heating, specifiers are being asked to balance decarbonisation targets, compliance, acoustic performance, operational efficiency and practical installation considerations, often all at once. Dimplex has developed its new L

Vectaire’s Cool Breeze and Cool Breeze Plus are designed to mitigate overheating in residential properties during summer months, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment at all times. They meet the standards used in CIBSE TM59 assessments and Approved Document O of the Building Regulations and also use the eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, which is over 225 times more environmentally friendly than R32. The UK-manufactured system can be floorstanding or wall mounted and integrat

Saniflo has added the Saniboost Smart product to the Saniflo Clear Water portfolio. It is a variable speed, mains boosting pump that delivers high pressure and flow rates for mains-fed water systems, providing a solution to restrictive mains water pipes. It is designed to boost water flow up to 97 litres/min and pressure up to 5.5 Bar in mains fed systems to help overcome issues such as: • Low flow and/or pressure from outlets such as showers, taps, washing machines, dishwash

Chris Goggin explains the relevance and value of rDME for sustaining rural businesses. r-DME offers operational and ecological benefits as an alternative fuel source for off-grid businesses that require practical, economical and technically feasibility heating and hot water solutions.

Ventilation manufacturer, Vent-Axia. has welcomed the Future Homes Standard, alongside the publication of new Approved Document Part F (Means of Ventilation) of the Building Regulations, and Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power), as “a significant step on the road to Net Zero.” The Future Homes Standard is expected to deliver homes that produce 75-80% fewer carbon emissions compared to 2013 standards, representing a major shift in how new homes are built. However, as build

Rinnai Director, Chris Goggin, establishes the importance of heat pump system congruity and the different methods of measurement that reveal heat pump performance. This article will explain two relevant questions: Why is heat pump system and component harmony vital towards customer understanding of system performance? And what are the separate metrics used to provide an accurate representation of system performance? Once a UK customer of decarbonising technology decides to in

Building on the success of its ECOMOD 290HT natural refrigerant commercial heat pumps, Ideal Commercial Heating has expanded the range to include a 65kW model to meet demand for higher output systems. This takes the ECOMOD 290HT range to four chassis sizes and six available outputs, from 15kW to 65kW. ECOMOD 290HT monobloc air source heat pumps have an exceptionally low global warming potential (GWP) of just three, thanks to the use of R290 natural refrigerant. The lower t
