Fields of green
Lochinvar has provided a complete heating and hot water system powered by four air source heat pumps for a new luxury 72-bedroom care home set in rolling Yorkshire countryside.
The home is the latest addition to the retirement community at Lavender Fields Care Village, which also includes 24 privately owned bungalows near the picturesque village of Barmby Moor. It is three miles from the famous market town of Pocklington in the spectacular East Riding, and the 72 luxury bedrooms enjoy views over the countryside and the community’s landscaped gardens. Lochinvar was specified to provide a fully integrated heating and hot water package including energy saving heat pumps, thermal store, two storage vessels and ancillaries.
The system, which was designed and installed by Leeds based mechanical services contractor Sayes, and overseen by the main contractor Firecrest Construction, is managed by a priority control system that keeps energy use low while ensuring the right balance between hot water production and the home’s underfloor heating system.
The heat pumps were chosen from Lochinvar’s Amicus HT air-to- water heat pump range which can provide hot water at up to 63°C giving a highly efficient low carbon method of supplying domestic hot water in both existing and new build properties.
