Novotel Edinburgh becomes first UK site to install Toshiba USX Edge Modular Heat Pump
C
arrier Solutions UK has delivered the first UK installation of the Toshiba Universal Smart X (USX) Series Edge modular heat pump at the Novotel Edinburgh Centre, a prestigious city-centre hotel.
Working in close partnership with installing contractors AlterTherm Group Ltd, Carrier Solutions UK provided a high-performance, space-saving HVAC solution designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing hotel infrastructure. Two 150kW Toshiba USX Edge modular air-source heat pumps were installed in July 2024, delivering a combined 300kW of capacity. The installation marked the first deployment of the new-generation USX Edge system in the UK, selected for its compact footprint, modular flexibility and advanced energy efficiency.
“The NOVOTEL Edinburgh installation was a complex yet highly rewarding project,” said Stuart Curtis, managing director of AlterTherm Group Ltd. “The space-saving X-frame chassis and modular design of the USX Edge units made it possible to install them easily, even in a constrained rooftop location. This system is a game-changer in light commercial HVAC solutions, and we continue to offer it to our clients. The success of this project has meant that we have since installed a second Toshiba USX Edge at another hotel in the hotel group and continue to enjoy preferred partnerships with both them and Carrier Solutions UK.”
The rooftop-mounted system delivers year-round comfort, with trackable performance and reduced environmental impact.

Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq-Cool (KERS) tackles overheating in new build homes
V
ent-Axia has launched the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq-Cool (KERS) in partnership with KERS, introducing a pioneering 2-in-1 solution that provides renewable hot water and free cooling.
The system combines Vent-Axia’s latest flagship MVHR unit with a KERS Coolboost Heat Pump, marking the latest addition to Vent-Axia’s growing cooling range. Designed to help housebuilders manage overheating in new build homes, the highly energy-efficient MVHR unit features new integrated controls that enable seamless communication with the hot water air source heat pump. As a result, the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq-Cool (KERS) improves indoor air quality for households while delivering exceptional levels of comfort, intelligently heating hot water and cooling habitable spaces. The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq-Cool (KERS) provides housebuilders with a compliant and effective cooling solution that meets the requirements of Part O of the Building Regulations and CIBSE TM59. The system monitors comfort temperatures defined by the user, and when cooler outdoor air is insufficient to reduce internal temperatures via the 100% summer bypass, it automatically signals the heat pump to activate cooling. The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq- Cool (KERS) then combines the airflow from the MVHR with the cool exhaust air from the heat pump via built-in dampers. This integrated approach delivers exceptional comfort and functionality all year-round, while complying with Part O and TM59, simultaneously heating hot water and cooling habitable spaces.
