Boiler Decarbonisation for University of Bedfordshire
As part of our continued partnership with the University of Bedford,
R G Carter were selected to upgrade the boiler plants at Polhill (student accommodation campus), Putteridge Bury (an event space used for a variety of events such as conferences, graduations and seminars) and it’s Park Street campus.
As part of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme funding, air source heat pumps were installed at all sites replacing existing fossil fuel heating boilers.
At Polhill, we extended the existing district heating system from the energy centre to service the existing campus centre building. Decommission and removal of the redundant boiler system took place in addition to a temporary boiler placed to maintain hot water and heating whilst the works too place.
At Putteridge Bury, a Grade II listed mansion house, and conference centre, we replaced the existing boiler plant and introduced new energy efficient boilers and replacement flues. Our Project Delivery Team worked carefully with the site team from the design stage to to regulations to protect the integrity of the building.
At the Park Street campus, the replacement of the existing boiler which serviced a large proportion of the older 1950’s university block with new efficient boilers and flues.
