MONITORING & METERING ILITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION
networks, using data collected from fiscal meters and sub-metered areas.
ENGAGING THE STUDENT POPULATION UWTSD sets its energy efficiency programme in a wider sustainability context and is active in engaging with its student population, running induction programmes for new students and staff and holding an annual Sustainability Week. Single use plastic has been banned from food outlets, disposable coffee cups are being phased out, and the University has achieved Green Flag status for
its maintenance of the Carmarthen and Lampeter campuses ecosystems. Joint action with the Students’ Union has
resulted in significant progress in waste reduction and recycling rates, along with improvements to the local ecosystem by cultivating wildflower meadows. Recent *research shows that sustainability is one of the top reasons for students selecting an educational institution. At UWTSD, students on environmental and sustainability courses are engaged in practical projects using the University estate. This includes using energy data from the University in real life case studies. The University has recently established an Energy Efficiency Group dedicated to spearheading efforts towards consumption reduction within campuses. This aims to serve as a focal point for coordinating, implementing, and monitoring various energy-saving
“Working with the University, AMR DNA analyses years’ worth of
historical meter data to identify the unique ‘fingerprints’
of consumption that would provide an energy benchmark for each of the UWTSD buildings”
initiatives, to build accountability, ownership and to drive associated behavioural change across staff and students. Significant infrastructure upgrades are also underway, notably via Salix loan support for renewables, in smart metering, electric heating, double and triple glazed replacement windows and LED lighting. In the next 12 months, UWTSD expects to generate a total of 700,000
kilowatt hours of onsite solar power – satisfying
about 12% of its total anticipated electricity demand.
The University’s remaining electricity needs are all sourced from zero carbon providers.

TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION - ADVERTORIAL Babcock Wanson Launches New Electric Thermal Fluid Heaters
Industrial process heating equipment and solutions specialist Babcock Wanson has launched the EPC EL range of electric thermal fluid heaters, providing customers with an effective low carbon process heater with no direct emissions. The key functionality required by thermal fluid heaters are high turndown, low heat flux, accurate temperature control and high safety level which is incorporated in the design.
A multi-tubular type thermal fluid heater, with a series of flanged electrical heating elements inserted within the carbon steel exchange tubes where the thermal fluid circulates at high velocity, the EPC EL ensures a precise forecast of the fluid temperature at each point of the thermal fluid internal path, with no internal significant recirculation. The 1-D fluid
arrangement allows for a more compact volume and greater protection of the thermal fluid when compared to a single vessel design, for improved fluid longevity.
Just ASK: New Advice, Specification and Expert Knowledge campaign from Hamworthy Heating
Hamworthy Heating is pleased to announce the arrival of its latest ASK campaign, designed to provide customers with the right technical advice, help to specify the right solution for the building’s needs, and expert knowledge to suit a wide range of heating, hot water, and low carbon projects. The ASK Hamworthy campaign provides customers with valuable technical advice during each stage of their commercial project. Moreover, as a British manufacturer and supplier of the latest range of commercial boilers, hot water heaters and air source heat pumps, ASK reminds customers of the help on offer for customers to be able to expertly and accurately specify the correct heating and hot water solution with minimum fuss.
More than just a manufacturer, Hamworthy is a company committed to providing high levels of service and aftercare. To help customers get the best out of their products and stay up to date with the latest industry developments, ASK Hamworthy also offers access to a wide range of easily accessible informative articles to help assist customers in the journey to net zero. The latest commercial air source heat pump articles from Hamworthy Heating include: Specifying hybrid heat pump systems in the transition to low carbon energy, ‘Why is refrigerant important when selecting a heat pump?’ and ‘Exploring the funding options for heat pump projects in commercial buildings.

Modular in design, EPC EL electric thermal fluid heaters can be configured in series and parallel to meet different applications and site requirements. The single functional unit is composed of two thermal heater elements, each with a maximum power of 60kW. In the event of a thermal heater failure, the EPC EL can continue to operate at reduced power, excluding only the faulty element. A single 100 A thyristor controls the power, for flexibility and modulation.
