IBSA Reduces their Carbon Footprint

Putting energy efficiency at the top of its agenda, a prominent London based Christian organisation invested in a modern heating system for its new high-bay warehouse. After examining a range of options, it selected an advanced and highly economical solution from Reznor; the UK’s leading supplier of gas fired warm-air technologies to commerce and Industry.

 

Reznor’s extensive range of energy efficient heating systems proves a consistently popular choice with architects, installers and specifiers throughout the UK. Specially designed for use in commercial and industrial buildings, they provide comfortable, controlled environments in a range of structures, including sporting facilities, retail outlets, warehouses and other large enclosed spaces.

 

Alongside the environmental advantages of investing in a state of the art heating system, the religious centre needed to minimise energy use and running costs. The literature stored within their tall, densely racked warehouse needed to be protected from deterioration by good air circulation.

 

Reznor provides full engineering support to clients and liaised with the centre’s retained operatives to design and deliver a bespoke solution for the project. The final model was based around two of Reznor’s third generation UESA 055 continually condensing gas heaters and four of the company’s Maximizor 3000 heat recycling de stratification fans. Maximizor 3000 fans were suspended from the roof to recycle the warm air provided by the UESA units throughout the varied structure. Providing additional air movement, they ensure the circulation of warmth for excellent comfort. Thermostatically controlled, The fans offer energy savings of up to 15% and are quiet in operation.

 

Providing an output of 55kW, the two UESA heaters have a net fuel efficiency of 103%. This is due to the use of highly advanced heat transfer technology and a Macro Channel heat exchanger made from extremely conductive aluminium. The system is so effective that it not only meets ECA requirements, but exceeds them by almost 13%.

 

UESA heaters qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA), a government scheme aimed at stimulating the growth of energy efficient technology.

 

Installed internally, UESA offers further advantages for building owners. Its non - welded design and corrosion resistant construction grant it extended longevity. Advanced self aligning burner technology with multi-try ignition results in reliability and reduces the need for maintenance. Controlled at the touch of a button and easily programmable, UESA ensures outstanding climate control for users of the building.

 

With Reznor’s leading technology installed, the Christian centre benefits from the very best in gas fired heating systems. Reducing the organisation’s carbon footprint and energy bills simultaneously, Reznor’s UESA and Maximizor units also offer easily managed comfort to users combined with frost and condensation protection for the valuable retail literature stored in the centre’s warehouse.
