Daniel Cooper, a director at Cooper and Roman Property Investments, expressed the company's dedication to using sustainable technologies in their properties. This move is not just about cost-cutting on their end, but also to provide cost savings for future property owners due to rising energy bills. They recently worked with iHelios on a three-story building project.
iHelios was commendable for their flexible approach, working floor by floor. Cooper appreciates the under-floor installation of the technology which allows maximum usage of floor space without being restrictive in interior decoration. Unlike traditional heating methods, iHelios operates on a zone-based system. This means that if there's a problem in one room, it doesn't affect the rest of the property. Daniel's long-term vision is to fully integrate such sustainable technologies and aims for the company to build 100 sustainable homes in the future.
The Challenge
Linked Infrastructure can create building wide failures
When one tenant's heating system failed in a residential complex, it was observed that it usually indicated simultaneous failures for multiple tenants. This posed a significant inconvenience, especially during Hull's cold months.
The Solution
Zone-Based Radiant Heating
To address the heating challenge, a decision was made to implement Radiant Heating - a solution characterized by its zone-based function. This ensures that even if one zone encounters a problem, others remain unaffected, providing uninterrupted warmth to residents.
The Results
Partnering for Success
iHelios, in tandem with Cooper and Roman, delved into the heart of the heating issue. By adopting a hands-on, collaborative approach, we ensured the seamless integration of the radiant heating system, delivering consistent warmth and tranquillity to every home in Hull.
