NABLE HEATING REQUIREMENTS
pipework is imperative for this sort of project,” added Smyth. “The hotel was keen to avoid downtime, so the fact REHAU was able to provide the swift support and high-quality products we’ve come to expect was highly appreciated. “To solve issues around the lack of roads, we actually constructed a bespoke de-coiling machine to lay down the one kilometre of RAUTHERMEX
for the 2024 edition of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland’s Energy Awards. Mark Thompson, area sales manager for REHAU
Building Solutions Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland, was on hand to ensure the project’s smooth running. He explained: “The rising carbon tax is definitely focusing minds for businesses such as hotels. As the works at Ballyliffin Lodge
“The nature of Ballyliffin Lodge’s business and location presented clear challenges for this particular project. After
all, if you can’t transfer its heat effectively through its pipes, it doesn’t matter how sustainable your boiler is”
required. It proved highly successful, largely due to the flexibility of the pipe systems, and it is certainly something we will consider using again.”
A SUSTAINABLE FINALIST With the boiler now installed and running, the success of Ballyliffin Lodge’s uniquely complex works has resulted in further enquiries from other hotels in Ireland. Moreover, testament to the success of both this installation and that of the other green upgrades implemented is the fact that Ballyliffin Lodge was shortlisted as a finalist
show, transitioning to greener heating systems is a sensible commercial decision. “The CHP Mechanical Services team have clearly
demonstrated what an excellent installation looks like in this field. Using our leading RAUTHERMEX components, their expertise clearly demonstrates what’s possible even in remote areas such as the Inishowen Peninsula. We advise similarly situated businesses to explore environmentally sympathetic boilers and offsite plantrooms, especially in national markets accelerating their decarbonisation efforts.”
Underground pre-insulated pipework that could offer excellent thermal
performance was needed. REHAU’s RAUTHERMEX bonded pipe system met demands

They can highlight any hourly period since the system was installed. Customers will also get a historical overview of site carbon vs the grid. • Alerts: Customers can see live data from the inverters and alerts are triggered if any issues arrive.
Earlier this month, Derbyshire-based Denby Pottery announced it has achieved 900 carbon-free hours between April and August this year, thanks to its partnership with Power-Zero and utilisation of the Optimise Portal. This milestone represents 37.9% of the total 2,376.3 daylight hours during the period, showcasing Denby’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Simon Mitchell, Commercial Director, Power-Zero, said: “We’re excited to be updating and evolving our Optimise Portal to help improve trust and transparency for our customers, as well as giving them access to historical data and generation forecasting.
“As two thirds of businesses now worry about rising energy costs, Power-Zero is well placed to help alleviate concerns by helping companies to deliver clean, renewable energy in a cost-effective manner by developing robust onsite solutions through a PPA.
