Last year they were commissioned by engineering consultants Thornley &amp; Lumb to design, manufacture and install the heating system for a new-build special needs primary school in Sheffield. TKAC were selected because of their experience and expertise is creating imaginative and environmentally sensitive heating systems. In the case of Woolley Wood School the challenges included restricted access to the site, limited space and the need to reduce carbon emissions by more than 20% while also reducing energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tkac.co.uk\/images\/ecodan.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"202\" \/>Turn Key opted for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tkac.co.uk\/ecodan.htm\">Ecodan air source heat pumps <\/a>for the project. Air source heat pumps are classified as a renewable energy technology because of the ingenius heat transfer technology that generates a Coefficient of Performance of (COP) 3.2. Put simply, for every 1kW of energy consumed, 3kW of energy is created. Ecodan air source heat pumps work in ambient temperatures from -20C to 40C, making them ideal for the British climate, producing hot water up to 70C.<\/p>\n<p>TKAC have a great reputation for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tkac.co.uk\/manufacturing.htm\">off-site manufacturing <\/a>so to get around the problem of site access they\u00a0built the entire heating system in their own manufacturing\u00a0facilities. The\u00a0heating system was\u00a0constructed on two skids which were positioned directly onto anti-vibration pads on the roof of the school. This\u00a0removed the need for structural alterations to the property or the erection of the\u00a0 load bearing plinths that are\u00a0often associated with heating and air conditioning systems.<\/p>\n<p>Once in situation, the new\u00a0air source heating system only needed to be connected to water and electricity supplies and was then heating and supplying hot water to the whole school. Ecodan air source heat pumps from Mitsubishi <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tkac.co.uk\/ecodan-heat-pump-case-study-p2.htm\">reduced CO2 emissions by over 30%<\/a> and exceeded all energy efficiency targets set by the commissioning\u00a0local authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newgate Air Systems friends and web partners Turn Key Air Conditioning have added a shining\u00a0 example of their products and services on the project pages of their website.
