CHEEVERSCOURT&HALIDAYHOUSE, DÚNLAOGHAIRE
HEAT PUMPS C heevers Court and Haliday House NZEB complex is a great example of how Daikin air-to-water heat pumps can be integrated into district energy systems. For this project Daikin selected 3 No. Altherma 3 Hydro Split heat pumps for each plant room. Working closely with Richard McElligot, McElligot Consulting Engineers, Daikin designed a system that used the power
produced on site by the CPH’s to run the heat pumps. The heat pumps transfer heat to a larger buffer tank, which is used as the primary energy in the district energy system - ensuring minimum energy usage and very low carbon emissions - with the boilers used only for peak demand. Once the Daikin Altherma 3 heat pumps were installed and commissioned, the Daikin
to engage on this project to provide a system that would contribute to low carbon output and the use of renewable energy produced on site.”
team worked closely with Kaizen Energy to fine tune the system and configure the units for optimum output and energy usage. Commenting on the completed project, April McHale, Technical Sales Engineer said, “As a valued Daikin partner, we have worked together with Kerrigan Mechanical on numerous residential heating projects for major developers on the east coast. We were delighted

CHP SYSTEM R enewable energy system suppliers Glenergy provided Micro CHP units for the nZEB district heating system at Cheevers Court and Halliday House. “Using CHP technology in conjunction with heat pumps and gas boilers is a fantastic combination in group heating schemes,” said Glenergy Director, Jonathan Leonard, “but requires careful design to make sure each technology is sized correctly and complies with NZEB requirements. It is also imperative to ensure each system fits in, so it optimises its contribution to keep running costs low for the operator and the occupants of the building. “We worked closely with the design team in McElligots and Kerrigans to make sure our CHP units worked with the heat pumps and boilers for all the design and operational requirements of the project.” Glenergy is based in Kilcoole, Co.
Wicklow and provides renewable energy systems for domestic and commercial applications. Established in 2015 as an amalgamation of three companies in the energy business, the company focuses on delivering high quality CHP, heat pumps and solar PV/ thermal systems. “Using CHP technology in conjunction with heat pumps and gas boilers is a fantastic combination in group heating schemes,.”
