A SOLARflo solar thermal water heating system with evacuated tubes from Andrews Water Heaters has been installed in The Building Centre, Central London.
The SOLARflo system was selected, not only for the practical purpose of providing low carbon hot water to the entire building, but also as part of a demonstration device. Visitors to the Centre are able to see how much heat is being collected by the solar system, as the solar panels are connected to an electronic display stationed on the Baxi Commercial Division permanent stand, situated in the Showcase Galleries.
Clive Edwards, Facilities and Maintenance Manager at The Building Centre, was behind the decision to install low carbon technology that would provide the hot water requirements for the entire building. "We wanted to incorporate more LZC technologies into The Building Centre, not only to reduce the building's carbon emissions but also because we want to encourage more building services engineers to investigate the different low carbon technologies available and I believe it is best to lead by example. We already have some renewable technologies installed within The Building Centre, such as heat pumps for the air conditioning system."
