Case Study - Archway House, Cardiff
Posted on 03 May 2024 in Case Studies
We were contracted by one of Wales' leading housing associations to design and supply a ground source heat pump system capable of providing heating and cooling for their soon-to-be refurbished office block in Cardiff.
The result was an advanced heating system of four MasterTherm AquaMaster 48kW Inverter heat pumps, connected in cascade utilising the MasterLAN application. The system's source of energy is provided by an array of boreholes which were drilled under the carpark and linked back to a manifold chamber which was then piped back into the purpose-built GRP plant room.
During winter months the energy is extracted from the boreholes to provide heat for the building. During the summer months the system can store heat in the ground and provide cooling to the building.
The heating and cooling water is distributed throughout the building via a 4-pipe fan coil system and controlled by the Building Management System. The MasterTherm heat pumps installed at Archway House are fitted with an internet control module, which allows for full diagnostics and continuous monitoring of the system remotely.
