More from your floor
February 1st 2008 A Warmafloor underfloor heating
and cooling system combined with
ground source heat pumps is
contributing to a 30–40%
reduction in energy consumption
and CO2 emissions at
Gloucestershire Constabulary's new
£18 million headquarters building.
The sustainable solution played a
key role in the PFI project receiving
the 'Excellent' rating in the BREEAM
assessment process.
Heating and cooling energy is
drawn from 150 bore holes each
drilled to a depth of 98m under the
car park. Inside the building, the
Warmafloor Tacker System is a high
duty 65mm deep screed system
with a thermal conductivity of
0.034W/mK and a compression
strength of >110 kPa.
Unlike radiators, which transfer
heat by convection, underfloor
heating systems use radiant heat so
there are no draughts or cold spots.
No convection currents also mean
the heating system is not
constantly circulating airborne
germs and dust. More articles from Warmafloor (GB) Limited: |
