REFURBISHED PLANTROOM
Impact
98.5% gross boiler efficiency achieved.
194,000kWh annual gas savings.
164,900kg CO2 savings per year.
The plant room upgrade resulted in significant performance and reliability improvements:
- Reliable, fast-response communal hot water supply.
- Safer gas operation with booster and regulation in place.
- Independent hot water cylinders improve resilience across flats.
- Reduced maintenance costs and operational disruption.
- Industry-leading design and support by a UK manufacturer.
