Ecodan heat pump in disguise warms lemurs at Bristol Zoo

The lemurs at Bristol Zoo are enjoying a new enclosure that is being warmed by the latest Ecodan heat pump technology from Mitsubishi Electric. Earlier this year, installers Gregor Heating recommended an Ecodan PUHZ-W50VHA2 air-source heat pump to keep the space in the new 12m2enclosure at a cosy temperature for its residents. Richard Blackmore of Gregor Heating explains the challenge: "The enclosure is fully insulated, which makes it perfect for the installation of heat pump technology.

However, only up to 15 percentage

Under control

Following on from my previous blog where we discussed the senseless practice of ‘heating fighting cooling’, one explanation for peoples’ bad behaviour could be that they are often so far removed from the BEMS that they feel powerless to make the type of ‘sensible’ adjustments that could reduce waste. Giving local control back to stakeholders is important and devices are available that make energy management as simple and accessible as possible. Touchscreen displays provide a self-configuring user interface to a BEMS and, if sited in a prominent location, individuals can view and adjust
