Baystar Energy Efficient Systems hosted a seminar recently on the energy savings that water source heat pump systems can offer large property and estate owners as well as businesses
Held at Tattleton Estate in Horsham, owner Chris Stone confirmed how the installation of a water source heat pump system has already saved him £000s and reduced his reliance on fossil fuels, set to continue over the planned three to five payback period.
Guest speakers at the event were Emma Griffiths, heat energy specialist from the National Trust, who gave an overview of how water source and biomass systems are being successfully used at a variety of Trust properties, and Robin Curtis, a Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) geoscientist, who talked through various energy systems and shared his views of sustainable energy for the future. Baystar director Jonny Starmer showed exactly how the water source heat pump system project worked at Tattleton House and guests were then given a tour of the grounds showing where the installation is sited, and the pump rooms.
Chris Stone said, “We built Tattleton from scratch, having bought the land, and wanted to be as sustainable in terms of energy as possible. With water heating, there is zero heat loss and no smells or emissions, and the savings show what a good investment the water source heat pump system is. I’d recommend it to anyone with land, large properties like castles, colleges or historic buildings.”
The seminar will help management in industry, large property owners and businesses with a body of water on their land understand how energy innovation – and heat pumps in particular – can deliver low energy costs, greater comfort and better buildings.
