These buildings are at the heart of Clydebank and are extremely important to the community, so it\u2019s great that we can bring 21st Century, low-carbon heating to them, without harming the heritage or character of the buildings.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"quote__author\">Scott Lutton, <span class=\"quote__position\"> Operations Director, North &amp; Scotland <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-text-case-study rte\">\n<div class=\"wrap rich-text-case-study__wrap\">\n<p>The Library will have modifications made to its heating system which will include the installation of a 200kW plate heat exchanger installed and Vital Energi will also replace the old heating system with a new radiator circuit. The Town Hall will see a 600kW plate heat exchanger installed as well as upgrades to the pumping system and air handling units.<\/p>\n<p>Scott concludes, \u201cBoth of these buildings are over 100 years old, so there is an exciting opportunity to improve the way they use heat. By making these changes the buildings will become much more efficient and, when combined with the low-carbon heat from the water source heat pumps, will reduce their carbon emissions drastically, making another important step towards West Dunbartonshire Council\u2019s net zero journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-text-image rte\" data-anchor=\"\">\n<div class=\"wrap rich-text-image__wrap\">\n<div class=\"rich-text-image__img-holder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rich-text-image__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/media\/f1ydphwy\/clydebank-town-hall.jpg?crop=0,0.043343915343915344,0,0.10495114289126259&amp;cropmode=percentage&amp;width=835&amp;height=474&amp;rnd=133090065924100000\" alt=\"Clydebank Town Hall\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-text-image__text-container\">\n<p>Clydebank Town Hall is connecting to the Queens Quay heat network &#8211; image credit \u00a9Richard Findlay<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/javascript:\" class=\"js-read-more-rte read-more-btn\">Solution detail<span class=\"btn__link font-ico-plus\"><\/span><span class=\"btn__link font-ico-minus\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Clydebank Library &amp; Town Hall set to lower emissions with new district heating connection Two of Clydebank\u2019s most iconic listed buildings are taking a step towards net zero by connecting to the low-carbon Queens Quay district heating network.
