8 x residential apartments - Surrey
casestudy.
8 Daikin Altherma Split Heat Pump Systems were used for heating and domestic hot water to top floor luxury apartments.

Double convector radiators and towel rails
Reason for selecting Daikin Altherma: The developers had hoped to exceed the 10% Merton rule by adding solar panels to the roof. Due to the number of apartments, 55 in total, the foot-print area on the roof was far too small for the quantity of solar panels that would be needed to satisfy the renewable target. The Local Authority and their Energy Assessor advised that they would need to equip some of the apartments with air to water heat pumps, (due to efficiencies, flexibility and space limitations). The developers specified Space Air to supply the ‘complete’ Daikin Altherma heat pump system for 8 of the apartments.

Self Build - SHETLANDS

Space Air first launched the Daikin Altherma system at the Ecobuild show in 2005 and exhibited the Daikin Altherma system, manufactured by Daikin Europe, the following year at the Ideal Home Show. A local Builder from the Shetland Islands visited both shows, where he was able to see the system in full operation and speak to Space Air directly about the after sales and technical support that could be provided. This convinced him that the Daikin Altherma system, supplied by Space Air, was the best solution to operate his own home underfloor heating. Name of application: Hogar House Type of application: New Build - Heating and Domestic Hot Water Property location: Tresta, Shetlands Alternative system: Oil fired, LPG boiler, direct electric, peat. System installed: Daikin Altherma 7kW heat pump, Hydrobox, 1 x 200ltr storage cylinder. Reason for selecting Daikin Altherma: Electricity is the most commonly used fuel on the Shetland Islands. Daikin Altherma is a low energy consumption inverter controlled heat pump system, ideally suited to this new build application.
