3. 1 Using a hose filled with liquid known as a col lector you can bring up solar energy stored deep down in the rock at the bottom of the lake or a metre or so beneath your lawn The liquid in the collector circulates and is hea ted up by the stored solar heat down in the ground or in the lake 2 When the liquid passes up into the heat pump it meets another closed system This contains a refrigerant that can turn into gas at a very low temperature 3 Under high pressure a compressor conside rably increases the temperature of the refri gerant Then using a condenser the heat is transferred to the water based heating system in the house 4 Meanwhile the refrigerant reverts to liquid form ready to turn into gas once more and to collect new heat energy THE DILEMMA Home owners architects and builders are looking for more environmentally friendly ways to regulate the indoor climate There is an obvious trend away from natural gas and oil based solutions due to the pressures of cost and avail ability of fossil fuels Long term planning is called for The pressure is on from governments and societies to behave in a more environmentally responsible way spe cifically in the choice of heating systems for buildings 5 ANSWER When compared to alternative heating solutions heat pumps have a very low environmental impact Designed for domestic use NIBE ground source heat pumps are easy to install

10. E A GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP You save money Installing a ground source heat pump from NIBE can lead to a re duction in energy consumption of up to 80 The reason for this is that a ground source heat pump uses the ground surface soil or nearby lake as its main energy source and all these kinds of energy are free of charge Although the heat pump doesn t pay for itself in the first month you will notice the financial benefits right away because your heat ing bills will be so much lower Moreover the efficiency of NIBE s latest generation of ground source heat pumps they have an especially high operating range positively impacts the speed with which you recover your investment Enjoy a dramatic reduction in energy consumption and up to 80 off your heating bills when you install a NIBE ground source heat pump Before After You reduce your carbon footprint The second reason for choosing a NIBE ground source heat pump is that it s so environmentally friendly By merely storing and convert ing solar energy from the ground to heat your home and hot water a ground source heat pump leads to much lower CO emissions than a traditional fossil fuel based heating system Some governments and regional authorities offer subsidies to home owners to switch from fossil fuel based heating to a more modern renewable source of energy Since ground source heat pumps are now officially classified as renewable energy there couldn t be

30. use to a depth below the frost level and the latent ground heat this gathered was harnessed by a NIBE F1140 12kW Heat Pump to heat the water in a VPA300 200 double jacketed hot water tank for supply to the central heating circuit and to meet domestic hot water needs The original oil fired boiler was retained as a back up for times of exceptional demand Results The system has now been running for two years and Mr amp Mrs Corrigan who have monitored costs very carefully report savings of 3 000 per year compared with use the oil fired boiler As far as the top up system is concerned they started with a full tank of 900 litres of oil and estimate that only about 90 litres has been consumed in the two years The Corrigans were so impressed with this success story that they have since installed NIBE Heat Pumps in four luxury holiday lodges at Blackthorne Gate in the farm grounds again using HT Energy for system design and installation CASE 2 WALTON HALL Nine NIBE GROUND SOURCE 30 The background Built in 1742 near Wakefield in West Yorkshire then extended in the early 19th Century by the traveller naturalist and eccentric Charles Waterton Walton Hall is beautifully situated on a man made island in a 26 acre lake with the only access from the mainland by an elegant cast iron footbridge In the 20th Century the Hall hit hard times be ing used variously as a Maternity Home and a Country Club before falling derelict in the 1970
31. will we see a significant reduction in CO emissions Meanwhile the prices of traditional energy sources are rising steadily with the result that more and more people feel inclined to consider alternative more efficient energy sources Now their customers have started demanding a solution bullders architects and property developers can no longer ignore the need to employ alternative technologies that make better use of the world s energy resources START WITH A HEAT PUMP Heating your house with a heat pump Is the proven best option for the environment There are a number of reasons for this One obvious factor is that a heat pump does not use any combus tion process or other energy to generate heat It simply extracts the heat that already exists in the air ground or water source and puts it to use to heat your home This means lower emissions Secondly in comparison with other heating systems the amount of electricity needed is relatively low That s because electricity is not the main energy source it s only needed to run the heat pump and enable the heat extraction process While the exact energy saving varies according to what you benchmark against it generally meas ures between 6096 and 8096 Another interesting point to consider is that heat pumps like every manufactured item contains what we call embedded energy That is the energy required to make the product and transport it from the factory to the site where
