CASE STUDIES


Mitsubishi Electric brings affordable comfort to building occupants


M


itsubishi Electric’s Ecodan QUHZ air source heat pumps have been installed at the Bowling Court apartment building in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, and its residents have been reaping the rewards since instillation was completed earlier this year.


Bowling Court, which is managed by the charity Hightown Housing Association, had previously relied on electric heating, and was looking for a new, low cost system.


Following selection of the 4kW monobloc Ecodan QUHZ heat pump system and thermal store, the buildings’ tenants are benefitting from low cost heating and efficient hot water production, as well as reliable, renewable heat provision all year round.


Mark Salmon, procurement manager at Hightown Housing Association, believes that the installation will prove to be a great investment. He commented: “The benefits of the Ecodan system, both short and long- term, played a big part in our decision to upgrade the heating system at Bowling Court.


“Its flexibility, easy operation, low noise levels and, perhaps most importantly, low running costs will all prove to be very popular with our tenants at Bowling Court”.


This popularity is already evident, with one tenant saying that the Ecodan system has reduced her heating bill from £35 a week to £15. Kim Faulkner, managing director at Faulkners, a Reading-based installation company with years of experience in dealing with renewable technologies, also praised the Ecodan system.


He stated: “Air source heat pumps are an ideal solution that will help reduce both running costs and emissions over traditional carbon-intensive heating. The Ecodan system is particularly suitable for properties like Bowling Court, which is in an off-gas area.”


Finding a system that could reduce fuel costs was particularly important for Hightown Housing Association, as the organisation prides itself on being able to assist those who are not in a position to afford to buy or rent a home at market value.


The tenants can control their heating and hot water via Wi-Fi with Mitsubishi’s MELCloud application, a built-in energy monitoring system which comes as standard with its Ecodan heat pumps.


They are able to monitor their energy consumption, set up schedules and timers, receive temperature history reports, and a live weather feed from the Ecodan’s location can also be accessed. Occupants are able to share or restrict access to the application as well. All this helps tenants to better manage their heat and energy usage, lowering their heating costs.


As well as helping to reduce fuel costs, the Ecodan QUHZ also operates with a very low noise output. This was a key factor for Hightown Housing Association in selecting the QUHZ, as it enabled the units to be fitted on the balcony of all properties.
