Lord Combustion Services carried out a project at a school on the outskirts of Redditch in Worcestershire to implement a new hybrid heating system.
The Lord team replaced the existing dated heating boilers within two plantrooms at the school with a new hybrid heating plant and equipment. This included natural gas-fired condensing boilers and air source heat pump units.
Lord was responsible for the design, project management and installation, including all associated ancillary equipment and BMS (building management system) controls.
The project, which was funded by the government’s Condition Improvement Fund (CIF), was secured by Lord Combustion Services following a successful competitive tender bid.
The new hybrid heating system has brought significant benefits to the school in terms of energy efficiency, sustainability and long-term cost savings.
Allowing for flexible energy use, the hybrid system switches between gas and renewable heat sources depending on demand and external temperatures, reducing carbon emissions and fuel consumption.
The BMS controls enable precise regulation of heating output, enhancing comfort for students and staff while minimising waste. Improved system reliability will reduce maintenance issues and potential disruption to school activities.
