Air Sourced Heating Energy

• We think that this type of heating has the most
  potential for installation across the general
  housing stock.
• We have fitted this in 35 properties so far, with
  another 180 to be fitted next year.

Air Sourced Heating Energy

• So what is this new type of heating?
• Two short videos will help explain this better
  than I.

Air Sourced Heating - 40 homes at Worsborough

2 Greno View, Hood Green This was the first type
of this unit fitted in the loft. By keeping all
parts within the property security issues are
dealt with. Insulation of the roof void is
important.

10 Air Source Athersley NorthThese units have
been installed in family homes. We have also
designed the units to be fitted into the roof as
well as gable end. The scheme has proved that Air
Source Heating can meet the demand of a family
home. This type of heating saves money for every
KW of energy purchased 3KW of energy is produced
to heat and hot water.

Ground Sourced Heating Energy

• So far we have only fitted one of these
  installations at Thurgoland.
• After Christmas we will be converting 5 district
  heating schemes to work this way
• It works like this.

A mixture of water and anti-freeze is pumped
around the ground loop and absorbs the naturally
occurring heat stored in the ground. The process
is similar to that used to cool a fridge, but in
reverse. The Pump takes the heat from the water
mixture, transfers it to your domestic heating
system and increases the temperature in the
process. A ground source heat pump increases the
temperature from the ground by between 1.5 and 4
times so if the ground temperature is 12C, the
output would be between 18 and 48C). This heat
can then be used in a radiator and hot water
system

12a Churchfields, ThurgolandGround Source
heating installation which relies on heating coil
being fitted into ground at a depth of 75mts via
Drilling Rig. Whilst this is very efficient due
to constant ground temps, install costs are high.
Land availability on existing houses can also be
difficult.

Biomass

• Biomass This is the burning of non fossil fuels
  like wood, wood pellets or wood chip to heat
  properties.

11
Biomass

• We think it is highly suitable for our district
  heating schemes and so far 3 run on this. We are
  currently converting 4 more.
• We dont think it is suitable for individual
  homes because it needs looking after and is not
  instant heat.

Sheffield Road FlatsA block of 3
Flats - 160 dwellings in total which were the
first Biomass installation in Barnsley. This
replaced old coal fired boilerhouses and
typically saves 780 tons CO2 per year.Installed
2005/6 Fuel type Willow which is chipped and
harvested every 3 yrs.Sustainable Energy.

• Milefield Court
• The latest installation of Biomass Boilers is
  at a Dist Heating scheme in Grimethorpe. This
  site has heat meters and the works were completed
  Feb 2011. The site has 60 bungalows and 18 flats.
  Biomass replaced coal fired boilers which were
  inefficient caused dirt problems for the area.

Table Top Discussion Air Sourced Heating

• Do you think this is a good idea?
• What do you think about having this your home?
• What sort of practical difficulties or customer
  resistance we might experience if we only fitted
  this type of heating.
