The Challenge:
The solar thermal system at Lowe House had reached the end of its operational lifespan, leading to frequent reliability issues and a marked decline in energy efficiency. Once a great investment, the ageing system no longer made a meaningful contribution to the building’s energy performance or sustainability objectives. It became evident that a modern, high-efficiency solution was urgently required to restore both value and functionality.
The Solution:
B-engineering delivered a comprehensive upgrade, designing and installing a like-for-like solar thermal system enhanced with the latest innovations in renewable energy technology. The new system incorporates state-of-the-art solar thermal panels that maximise the use of existing roof space, significantly increasing energy capture and thermal output.
Results & Benefits:
The new system now provides reliable, solar-powered domestic hot water with significantly improved performance. The integration of the advanced technology boosted energy output and enhanced system durability and safety.
Key benefits:
Improved energy efficiency, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Lower operational costs through reduced energy consumption. Increased system reliability, minimising maintenance and downtime. Enhanced occupant comfort with consistent hot water availability.
Sustainability & Environmental Impact:
This project marks a significant step forward in Lowe House’s commitment to environmental responsibility. By adopting modern solar thermal technology, the building now plays a more active role in reducing carbon emissions and aligns with broader sustainability targets.
