A South Wales developer has fitted eight properties with exhaust air heat pump (EAHP) systems from NIBE as part of a flagship house-building project near Cardiff. As well as NIBE F470 EAHPs, the homes have been fitted with rainwater harvesting, green roofs, electric car charging points, extensive insulation, and thermally treated windows throughout – achieving a Code for Sustainable Homes Level Four for building fabric alone.
Developer LivEco was tasked with ensuring any improvements to the Grade-II listed farm buildings remained as sympathetic as possible to the original – whilst also incorporating new features that would provide residents with optimum efficiency all year round.
Having worked with NIBE products before, architect Gillard Associates specified the F470 EAHPs to provide hot water and space heating, as well as an effective ventilation solution, given the high levels of air tightness.
