n July 2019 Heatrae Sadia was asked by The Wates Group to advise on the best hot water
solutions for use in the laboratory department of Nottingham College’s new £58m City Hub educational facility, as well as wall-mounted instant boiling water dispensers to make hot beverages in breakout areas and all staff rooms. Each laboratory area needed to have its own
individual hot water supply so that the outlets could be positioned closely to each work area and to improve legionella prevention. To meet this brief, seven 10 litre Multipoint hot water heaters were chosen. Selected for the compact size and exceptional hot water delivery performance, the Multipoint easily fits underneath the sinks in each laboratory. In addition, 11 smart Supreme wall-mounted
boiling water dispensers were also specified to provide hot water for refreshments. Here, 7.5 litre models were chosen for staffing areas, and 5 litre models were selected for breakout areas. A key safety benefit for all users is the addition
of Biomaster antibacterial technology, which is integral to the Supreme’s touchpoints. This helps
during heat-up is condensed and retained within the unit to prevent against accidental burns or scalding. Moreover, they dispense very hot water safely by using a push/pull lever to allow for boiling water to be delivered in a more controlled manner than that of a kettle. Being permanently plumbed and electronically-powered, time- consuming PAT testing is not required either. Once heated, the volume of water is then kept
at the desired temperature which reduces the energy spikes associated with heating water from cold. Advanced technology, such as Intelliboil Plus, controls the boiling cycle by responding to usage and therefore increasing efficiency. For example, if no water is drawn off for an hour, it will reduce the maximum temperature that water is stored to 90˚C. This kind of energy- saving technology is particularly useful in between day time breaks or overnight when the units are not in regular use. With efficient flow rates, boiling units can
improve the energy credentials of a building. “With a very clear set of objectives to meet it
was our pleasure to provide product specification guidance based on the usage expectations and
other exacting needs of the building users. Each product was carefully chosen with the brief in mind as well as to add value in terms of safety and hygiene so that students, staff and visitors could use the hot water products with the utmost confidence,” said Graeme Matier, specification manager at Heatrae Sadia.
MEETING APPLICATION DEMANDS To support buildings contractors with the safe and compliant installation of the chosen products, Heatrae Sadia also delivered a course on unvented hot water systems legislation. This was taught on-site in order to educate them on all the legal and regulatory requirements that must be met when installing unvented water storage systems to ensure optimum and safe operation. Matching the correct hot water system to the
specific application can be challenging. However, with the right specialist help from the Heatrae Sadia team, the best hot water solutions for Nottingham College’s new City Hub educational facility were specified on time, within budget, and all backed by an award-winning aftersales team and product warranty assurance.
