These eco-friendly systems offer a dual benefit: they not only significantly reduce carbon emissions but also enhance energy efficiency. In this guide we will look into the science behind CO2 heat pumps, and explore the advantages CO2 heat pumps bring.

The whitepaper is strident in pointing out that Value Engineering (VE) principles highlight the importance of putting customer requirements first, applying cost effective engineering solutions and improving the whole life value of a project – as opposed to simply cutting costs resulting in the inevitable compromise of performance.

By the end of this guide, you'll have a clear understanding of the average costs associated with commercial heat pump installations and the factors that influence them. You'll be equipped with the knowledge to determine which options align with your needs and budget. Take the first step towards a more energy-efficient and cost-effective heating solution by diving into our comprehensive guide today.

Rinnai has provided a low carbon DHW (domestic hot water) Heat Pump solution, with Seasonal Performance Factors (SPF) Analysis, for a Northwest call centre to upgrade its existing system to meet government guidance on carbon reduction. The existing hot water system was 2 x 20kW water heaters, each with 300L of hot water storage, and was working at an efficiency level of just 77%.

We discuss the importance of conducting a load calculation to determine the heating and cooling needs of your commercial space accurately. Additionally, we explore how factors such as building insulation and occupancy levels can impact heat pump size requirements.

Rinnai’s Tony Gittings analyses the advent of a shortage of skilled labour in the HVAC industry and specifically in heat pump installation, as well as the wider energy industry. The effect of a rising skills shortage on large infrastructure projects and national NetZero objectives may take a heavy toll.

The use of renewable technologies in a rural setting also has its challenges, therefore throughout this guide we will assess various off-grid heating solutions, including their environmental impact, practical and economic feasibility and how they compare to traditional heating systems such as traditional boilers.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your commercial heat pump running efficiently and extending its lifespan. Missing crucial maintenance interventions can lead to higher energy running costs, unnecessary wear and tear and even breakdowns.

Chris Goggin provides an overview of plans to devolve regional energy decision making to local authorities. What this action could mean for wider national NetZero objectives and what potential effects on local fuel options will be explored. This article will pose questions as to this - will the introduction of a new decentralised system will be successful or not?

Rinnai has given a local community’s much-loved sports pavilion a replacement DHW system which upgrades from its old cylinder system and provides the same peak-time capacity with significantly reduced energy costs along with much lower emissions through utilising the Rinnai R290 heat pump system​.

In recent years, energy costs have continued to rise along with environmentally based policies driving the need for low-carbon heating and hot water solutions. This has presented multiple challenges when selecting the most economical option for commercial heating or hot water projects, particularly in a retrofit environment.

Chris Goggin from Rinnai observes how the UK procures its energy and the complexity in which it is then distributed and reacquired.
