The Challenge
A large property developer has an on-going programme of acquiring, renovating and letting apartment blocks in London. Whilst the outside of their buildings show the elegant era in which they were built, the apartments within need to be completely refurbished to a high standard with a contemporary design, including the apartment heating, to meet the demands of modern living.
The current system did not meet the requirements of the tenants
With energy prices soaring, this system was not efficient
Communal spaces could not be controlled at all and as a result were often too cold or too hot
The need for an energy efficient apartment heating system
To refurbish hundreds of flats across multiple apartment blocks in Greater London. The developer wanted an energy efficient apartment heating system which provided excellent thermal comfort for their tenants and complemented the interior design of the apartments and the overall character of the buildings. It was important that the product range included heaters which were appropriate for the three categories of apartment, namely First Class, Premium and Standard. In the communal areas of the apartment blocks, the heating needed to be controlled remotely to prevent unauthorised use and avoid unnecessary heating costs.
As both a developer and landlord, the challenge was to source a heating system which was easy to install, good for the building, had a long life and required no on-going maintenance.
