ASHPs are one of the most effective technologies for reducing carbon. They absorb heat from the outside air, transfer it to a liquid and\u00a0compress it to heat the temperature further.\u00a0 The heat is then transferred from the liquid to\u00a0water and distributed throughout the network to provide heat to the connected buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The development will benefit from a new Low Temperature Heating Water network (LTHW), and Vital Energi\u2019s \u00a0own bespoke <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/media\/press-releases\/vtherm-the-heat-pump-ready-hiu\/\">Heat Interface Units (HIUs)<\/a> will be installed within each property, along with heat meters and new Low Surface Temperature (LST) radiators across Holmleigh Court\u2019s 39 properties.<\/p>\n<p>The HIUs coupled with the LST radiators will allow for more effective and regulated use of heating, and the LTHW network will accommodate an eco-friendlier way to heat up or cool water.<\/p>\n<p>This project is one of many partnerships that Vital Energi is now striving to acquire with local authorities. To aid them in achieving the government\u2019s proposal of becoming fully net zero by 2050, Wandsworth Council are striving to reach new levels of sustainability and decarbonisation, and have partnered with Vital Energi who have comprehensive experience in delivering low carbon multi-technology projects across the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<div class=\"wrap quote__wrap\">\n<div class=\"swiper-container js-simple-quotes\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div class=\"quote__holder\"><span class=\"quote__icon\"> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"28\" viewbox=\"0 0 36 28\"><g fill=\"#F58220\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M12.319 0h3.648a2 2 0 0 1 1.838 2.788l-10.286 24A2 2 0 0 1 5.681 28H2.033a2 2 0 0 1-1.838-2.788l10.286-24A2 2 0 0 1 12.319 0zM30.319 0h3.648a2 2 0 0 1 1.838 2.788l-10.286 24A2 2 0 0 1 23.681 28h-3.648a2 2 0 0 1-1.838-2.788l10.286-24A2 2 0 0 1 30.319 0z\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg> <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote__holder\">\n<p class=\"quote__text\">\u201cWe\u2019re really pleased that Holmleigh Court residents will benefit from these new air source heat pumps.
