10 x 2 bed homes — Wiltshire
The Wiltshire Rural Housing Association is committed to developing sustainable, new and refurbished, affordable rental properties in Wiltshire. The innovative and energy efficient Daikin Altherma air-to-water heat pump was specified to supply central heating and hot water services in a new WRHA development of 10 two bedroom homes in Codford, Wiltshire. The installation, completed in December 2007, satisfies local planning authority requirements regarding the incorporation of low to zero carbon renewable technologies.
Name of application: WRHA Codford Housing development
Type of application: New build social housing 10x 2 bedroom terraced properties
Property location: Codford, Wiltshire
Existing system: Oil, LPG, direct electric or heat pump
System installed: Daikin Altherma 5kW system – heat pump, Hydrobox & 150ltr. storage cylinder
Reason for selecting Daikin Altherma / Space Air
With no mains gas available and other options considered environmentally undesirable by WRHA and the local planning authorities, Daikin Altherma, manufactured by Daikin Europe N.V and supplied by Space Air has been successfully applied in other Wiltshire developments. The WRHA were satisfied that Daikin Altherma met their sustainable housing objectives, reduced construction costs associated with conventional fossil fuel systems, and offered considerably lower user operating costs and carbon footprint than the available alternatives.
