Follow on Google News | Power to the People as Landlord Turns GreenA major landlord with some 50,000 homes worth some £3 billion in its portfolio has made energy efficiency part of a regeneration programme driven by its residents in Great Britain.
By: Alfagy Limted A community heating system utilising combined heat and power technology will provide residents with low-carbon, cost-effective heating and electricity. Environmental performance will be further supplemented by the use of solar photovoltaic panels. Combined with the adoption of low energy design principles, a cumulative CO2 saving of 57% will be achieved. This exceeds the 44% which is required to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. Key to CO2 savings were the installation of Alfagy’s CHP plant delivering 334 kWe of power and 485 kWt of heat. Residents have been fully involved in the design development and a number of key changes have been made to the scheme on their advice. The CHP is now ready to provide cheap heat and power for the coming winter. Alfagy’s chairman, Peter Kindt, comments: “We were pleased to receive the residents informed decision to choose our CHP. After insulation, Alfagy’s CHP is the fastest way of reducing CO2 emissions and cutting fuel costs.” The Alfagy CHP unit emits less of the undesirable greenhouse gasses, nitrogen oxides or NOx, than other plants and is used mostly in residential and urban areas such as London. Alfagy is a leading supplier of ultra-low NOx CHP units that are gaining popularity as efforts to decrease cities’ pollution mount. - Ends – About Green Man Lane Green Man Lane’s regeneration is due to be delivered in four phases over a nine-year period. This commenced with the demolition of the existing six-storey pre-stressed concrete car park and the construction of Phase 1. A programme of phased decant, demolition and construction will be undertaken ensuring the majority of residents can remain within their neighbourhood throughout the redevelopment process. Phase 2a of the project, comprising a row of 14 properties, was the first to be completed and the keys to the first completed homes on the new estate were handed over to residents, who moved from their old apartments. The project is now in phase 2b and is moving on to phase 3 of the planned total 4 phases. A2Dominion The Group offers high-quality sustainable homes for sale, shared ownership and rent.
