Remeha
Quinta Pro high-efficiency condensing boilers have been selected to supply
reliable, quiet, energy-saving heating at Wiltshire Council’s new digital hub
in Corsham.
The
hub is situated in Corsham’s Mansion House, a previously vacant, landmark
building in Corsham town centre that now provides small units, meeting rooms
and break out areas for local digital start-up businesses.
The
historic, Grade II-listed property has been sensitively refurbished, and a new
glass-fronted extension added to house the main entrance, flexible working
spaces and a large informal meeting area.
Providing
a comfortable, energy-efficient working environment throughout this new annex
are two Remeha Quinta Pro 30 boilers. The boilers feed into the underfloor
heating on the ground floor and supply radiators and radiant panels on the
upper floors for space heating.
Bristol-based
MJD Mechanical and Electrical Services Ltd, working for principal contractor
Beard Construction, explained the benefits of installing the Remeha Quinta Pro
boilers.
“Efficiency
is a key priority for the Council,” said MJD’s Contract Manager/Estimator, Kris
Hudd. “We recommended fitting Quinta Pro boilers as we find them consistently
reliable and efficient.
"With
their higher-than-average operational efficiencies, they were the best solution
for this project as they will help keep bills low at Corsham Digital Mansion
while delivering the required high-performance heating.”
Space
was a major concern due to a number of unexpected challenges within the new
plant room.
“The
plant room design had to be reduced at the build stage, so we found that we had
less available space to work with than originally anticipated,” continued Kris.
“The requirement to run a ladder from the plant room to the roof brought
further space constrictions as we effectively lost an entire wall.
"Fortunately,
the Quinta boilers are incredibly compact, which helped us overcome these
potential restrictions.”
The
plant room is located in the middle of the extension, so quiet operation from
the boilers was an essential consideration for the new office environment.
“Low
noise was an important factor as the plant room is effectively in the centre of
the office space,” said Kris. “But we were really impressed by the Quinta
boilers which boast a quiet operation of 46dB.”
The
project went well with the Quinta Pro boilers connected to a Building
Management System at the final stage for optimum performance. The BMS is
controlled by Wiltshire Council from their head office to ensure maximum
operational efficiencies.
The Quinta Pro
wall-hung condensing boiler range delivers high gross seasonal efficiencies of
95% for greater than average energy savings, combined with ultra-low NOx
emissions. Its extremely compact design makes it suitable for individual
installation or as part of a multi-boiler cascade or rig system.
The Quinta Pro is
suitable for use on sealed systems and open-vented installations and perfect
for both new and retrofit installations. This popular wall-hung boiler series
is available in a wide range of outputs and for use with natural gas or LPG.
A variety of cascade
and bespoke-designed rig options are also available to enable faster
installation of multiple Quinta Pro boilers in compact, space-saving
configurations.
