Mr Andrew of APS Ltd specified the Gas 610 Eco boilers due to their higher than average efficiencies combined with the ultra-low NOx and minimum CO2 emissions – all of which meets the University’s environmental ethos. “These boilers also have a built in diagnostic display that flags any faults,” said Mr Andrew, “which makes them simpler to maintain and service.”

The subsidy for solar power will be halved for new installations from 12 December of this year, according to a recent announcement from the Government.

Consumers who register for the Feed In Tariff scheme after that date will see their tariff reduced from the current rate of 43 pence to 21 pence, even if they have already paid a deposit. The reduced rate will take effect from 1 April and be paid to anyone who installed their solar system after 12 December.

Climate Change Minister Gregory Barker said the government risked running out of money by next year. Speaking at an emergency debate, Mr Barker also outlined plans to limit installations to homes that have already carried out energy-efficiency measures.

At present, households generating electricity from solar power receive a subsidy of 43p per kilowatt hour, around four times the amount consumers pay for their electricity.

Global climate change is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. One of the major causes of climate change is the emission of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels.

The UK government has set a steep target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 (from base 1990 levels). It has also set a target to source 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020 from its current figure of 7%.

Biomass boilers are the most efficient means of getting heating equipment to run on low to zero carbon fuel. What’s more, with the introduction of Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments, financial support is now available for biomass boilers installed in commercial, industrial and domestic community projects.

Let’s assume you have a 150kW biomass boiler operating at a load factor of 30%. If you are eligible for the scheme, you will receive 19,513 per annum.

At Remeha Commercial, we offer superior, state-of-the-art biomass boilers ranging from 12.5kW to 2000kW with an increased service life due to their modulating outputs.

Added to this, we offer unequalled technical expertise and backup, essential for the smooth installation and running of biomass. Our extensive experience covers all sectors from retail to historic buildings, with outputs ranging from 120kW to 2000kW. Recent installations include the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery, Stansted Airport, Asda, Bootle, Inverary Castle and Walthamstow Academy add links. If you would like more details on the RHI click here or visit www.ofgem.gov.uk/rhi

Or get in touch – we’ll be pleased to advise on both the RHI payments and biomass installations.

A Remeha 100kW biomass boiler is bringing energy efficient, low carbon heating to the newly opened Visitors’ Centre at the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery at Lostwithiel, Cornwall.

The new building, which was officially opened by The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall on July 12th 2011, is a testament to the Prince’s vision of sustainability in the built environment. Remeha Commercial’s biomass boiler is playing a key part in this inspiring example of low-energy building for the future.

The state-of-the-art 100kW Remeha-Gilles biomass boiler provides heating for the shop and café building as well as the new greenhouse area. This modulating, fully controllable biomass boiler is fuelled by locally sourced low to zero carbon wood pellets, making it environmentally sound and economically viable. The fuel store at the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery can hold a sufficient supply of pellets for least 21 days in winter to minimise fuel deliveries.

Remeha has also supplied a day pellet hopper in the boiler house to give the option to load 10kg bags of pellets manually should adverse weather prevent delivery. A palate of pellets is stored near the boiler house.

With fuel prices, profitability and meeting Government legislation targets the three key concerns facing businesses today, Remeha Commercial has developed the Quinta Eco Plus, the first in a range of revolutionary commercial heating and hot water systems that delivers outstanding energy efficiencies, huge carbon reductions and significant financial savings in a flexible, cost-effective, super efficient solution.

The Quinta Eco Plus consists of the market-leading Remeha Quinta Pro, a fully modulating, commercial condensing boiler and the Eco Plus, a Passive Flue Gas Heat Recovery Device developed by Remeha and Zenex Technologies, and now recognised in building regulations. The Eco Plus recovers waste energy equivalent to around 15% of the gross input for the benefit of pre-heating domestic water or space heating such as running first radiators or underfloor heating. The Quinta Eco Plus achieves maximum condensing at full output at all temperatures and at all times, offering a new level of full time attainable efficiency of 97% GVC at 82/71°C for buildings.

The Quinta Eco Plus is manufactured and preassembled in a wheel-in enclosure. Pre-plumbed and configured within a rigid mobile frame for ease of installation, it is suitable for both existing and new buildings. Its compact dimensions and modular design provide flexible solutions to meet the individual requirements of a building.

Leading UK low carbon, high energy efficiency heating supplier Remeha Commercial announces its partnership with energy-saving innovator Zenex, and the immediate appointment of Chris Farrell, MD of Zenex, as Remeha’s Independent Technology Advisor.

Remeha is renowned as a pioneer in condensing boiler technology since launching the first commercial condensing boiler into the UK 35 years ago. Over the years, it has continued to research and refine products to achieve ever-more efficient performance figures in its drive for continuous improvement and maximum boiler efficiency.

Established in 2003, Zenex has gained a reputation for its range of energy-saving technologies. The Zenex GasSaver and the Zenex Superflow are recognised as new energy saving categories within UK Building Regulations. The Energy Saving Trust recognises Zenex GasSaver under its Energy Saving Recommended Scheme.

“Remeha Commercial and Zenex look forward to a long, innovative partnership, producing many new concepts that will revolutionise commercial condensing boiler technology,” said Mark Northcott, MD of Remeha Commercial.

With both companies committed to maximising the full potential of condensing boilers and systems, Remeha and Zenex are currently developing a groundbreaking new project that will increase by around 15% the standard efficiencies of Remeha’s products.

“Our first project is a radically new approach to condensing boiler installation,” continued Mark Northcott. “We are delighted to be able to show a prototype of this at the M&E–Building Services Event Show in October.”

“Our combined objective is to help businesses realise lost profit by improving their combustion and operational efficiencies,” added Chris Farrell, Remeha’s new Independent Technology Advisor. “We welcome this partnership with Remeha Commercial as the start of a new chapter in raising general awareness of achievable energy efficiencies.”

Thanks to the installation of a 120kW biomass boiler from Remeha, students at the newly constructed Walthamstow Academy are enjoying warmth generated by the latest biomass technology. Fuelled by compressed wood pellets, the boiler is fed, unusually, from a store situated on the ground floor adjacent to the first floor Plant Room.

Contractors Franklin M&E Services of Chelmsford, who carried out the installation, commented on the high standard, quality and appearance of the biomass boiler from Remeha and its remarkably good control system.

Two market-leading Remeha 310 ECO boilers were installed at the University of Plymouth in its newly developed Roland Levinsky Building earlier this year. This iconic building houses the university’s Faculty of Arts as well as providing the new base for the Plymouth Arts Centre.

The new boilers, installed by contractors Mitie Engineering of Plymouth under the auspices of Hoare Lea, Building Services Consultant, complement a number of existing Remeha boilers fitted as standard throughout the campus.

Two Remeha Gas 210 boilers were recently installed by N.G. Bailey in the new Optometry Building at Cardiff University.

The Remeha Gas 210 ECO MKII boilers are high efficiency, floor standing boilers with ultra low NOx emission and subsequently notably small carbon footprints. They have a compact and lightweight construction, premix burners for optimum combustion, and operate extremely quietly.

Two 145kW biomass boilers, supplied by Remeha and manufactured by Gilles Austria, are playing their part in ensuring that ASDA’s recently built store in Bootle is the most eco-friendly supermarket in the UK.

When ASDA invested £27 million in the construction of its new store at Bootle, sensitivity to the environment was high on the list of priorities.

Alongside ASDA’s determination to achieve zero waste to landfill by the end of 2010, the Bootle store incorporates a variety of innovative technologies, reducing energy use by 40% and cutting carbon emissions by a staggering 50% in comparison to a standard new build supermarket.
