Vital Energi has helped Berkeley Homes in their mission to create a sustainable neighbourhood, through the installation of air source heat pumps and a brand-new energy centre for phase three of their Woodberry Down development.
Comprising over 5,500 new homes right next to Finsbury Park, Berkeley is regenerating the area in partnership with Hackney Council, in an innovative 30-year project which will be built over eight phases.
Vital Energi was awarded the £3.1m contract to design and build the energy centre for phase three of the development.
The project saw the installation of air source heat pumps, a primary low-temperature heating system within the energy centre, along with distribution pipework which runs from the heat pumps down to the energy centre which will serve all eight phases of the development.
Three 1.5MW condensing boilers were fitted within the new energy centre, which Vital Energi will operate and maintain for two years, along with a Building Management System, and three 6m high 27,000 litre thermal stores.
Vital Energi is passionate about leaving a positive impact and a lasting legacy within the communities in which they work, so they installed viewing windows in the Energy Centre, so residents and passers-by can see the technologies which are providing sustainable energy to all the homes at Woodberry Down.
