Summary
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is partnering with E.ON to deliver a 15-year energy efficiency programme that includes a geothermal heating and cooling system.
Work has already begun on the site at Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) to create the geothermal system and install energy saving windows and smarter building controls like a new building management system run by E.ON Control Solutions.
The geothermal system is expected to cut CO2 emissions by around 10,000 tonnes a year by drawing and storing energy from 64 boreholes each up to 250m below ground, like a large ground source heat pump. The works also involve the replacement of up to 18,000m2 of windows with double glazing.
The QMC’s new heat pumps, boreholes and heat recovery system will work alongside the existing combined heat and power plant.
