A large 72 room care home in Surrey with a 123-person occupancy needed to reduce its operational carbon emissions by 20% but maintain a generous hot water supply during peak periods. The owner-operators also needed to re-structure both the operational costs and energy usage.

Rinnai UK’s team of Heating & Hot Water System Designers have provided a well-recognised hotel, spa and golf resort in the north of England with plans to install one of two new systems that are proven to reduce cost, carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.

As global economies continue to identify and incorporate clean and sustainable energies into respective national options, hydrogen has emerged as a potential source of energy capable of decarbonising and delivering power to domestic and commercial applications.

By harnessing the power of the sun, solar thermal systems can use solar panels or tubes to heat water, providing a continuous and reliable supply of domestic hot water for residential or commercial properties. Not only will they reduce the sites’ dependence on fossil fuels, but they can also reduce onsite operational expenditure.

As the demand for clean, sustainable energy intensifies, solar thermal technology has emerged as a leading solution in the renewable energy sector.

Chris Goggin looks at how domestic energy policy in the UK is now being implemented, with a particular emphasis on renewable energy dispersion. A significant amount of work needs to be done before the UK can be considered carbon neutral as it replaces fossil fuels with renewable alternatives.

Rinnai has expanded its lineup of decarbonising appliances with the inclusion of a new line of commercial heat pump technology. R290 is a LOW score (Global Warming Potential) refrigerant used in the cutting edge new line of air source heat pumps.

Industrial heat pumps operate on the same principle as a refrigerator but in reverse. Instead of extracting heat from the inside and releasing it outside, commercial air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside environment and transfer it to the desired location.

Rinnai is embarking on an ambitious and innovative programme of launching several new products within its H1 – Hydrogen and DME ready water heaters, H2 – Hybrid systems and H3 – Low-GWP heat pumps product categories. These new products will ensure the company offers a comprehensive range of appliances and systems for heating and hot water suited to both commercial and residential applications.

As the world continues to seek out sustainable, clean energy alternatives, hydrogen has emerged as a potential option for heating buildings and despite the cancellation of the Whitby and Redcar Hydrogen Village Trials the UK government has taken a strategic policy decision to support blending of up to 20% hydrogen by volume into GB gas distribution networks.

Building Services Consultants and contractor attendees at the recent Rinnai London Focus Group expressed ‘cautious positivity’ in reviewing 2023 and looking forward to 2024.
