Green Heat Scalable Energy Centre

The proposed scalable solution is effectively a two-stage heat pump system drawing heat from the surrounding air to provide heating to the campus building. The thermal storage tanks (200 m³) allow for alignment between the building demand and the available system supply, while taking advantage of times when the electrical grid has the lowest emission factor. The gas boilers (1MW) boost the system supply temperature when required and provides back-up when the operation of the heat pumps is limited. The solar panels (70kW) provide additional GHG reductions. The project goal is to reduce GHGs by 90% without doing invasive building work on the building connected to the existing campus district steam system.
