To deliver the project, the engineering team removed the outdated gas-fired heaters and replaced them with modern, high-efficiency water heaters. These new systems were designed to heat water on demand, significantly reducing the need for large-scale hot water storage. The bulky 300-litre cylinders were replaced with compact tanks that require less water and energy to operate. The installation process was carefully managed to ensure minimal disruption to college activities, and the new heaters were seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure
The benefits of the upgrade have been substantial. The new water heaters consume far less energy, contributing directly to the college’s carbon reduction objectives. By reducing the volume of stored hot water, the system also conserves water and lowers overall consumption. Additionally, the compact design of the new units has freed up valuable space, allowing for more flexible use of the facilities. The college has also seen a reduction in utility costs, thanks to improved energy efficiency. Overall, the project has reinforced the college’s role as a leader in sustainable practices and demonstrated the tangible impact of investing in greener technologies.
