Renewables for The Roundway

Renewables roundway

Qvantum’s QE exhaust air heat pumps are delivering low carbon comfort for 76 new-build apartments at The Roundway in Tottenham, North London.

The individual QE systems, designed in conjunction with Nick Yankovec of NLY Building Services, are providing energy efficient heating, hot water and ventilation for the mix of two and three-bedroom apartments without the need for a central plant room.

The QE recovers energy from extracted air while the inverter control automatically adjusts to the comfort demands of the home, thus minimising energy consumption.

By using heat from the integrated thermal store, instantaneous hot water production ensures compliance with the industry standard and effectively eliminates the risk of Legionella.

Meanwhile, the compact design of the units adds a further benefit for residents, with installation in standard appliance cupboards saving valuable internal space.

Owned by Haringey Council, The Roundhouse achieved an EPC rating of A, through innovative renewable features including solar PV. The QE was chosen to complement these measures based on value for money and efficiency when compared with alternatives such as electric panel heaters.

The seamless connectivity and simplified set-up of the QE units allowed Qvantum to complete commissioning within two days.
