ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS
Electric hot water and room heating solutions can be positioned where they are needed without the restrictions associated with gas feeds, flues or venting.
Products such as STIEBEL ELTRON’s VLR 70 Trend are ideal for retrofit situations.
ADOPTING DECENTRALISED BUILDING SERVICES FOR INNER CITY AND MULTI- OCCUPANCY BUILDINGS WILL SUPPORT IRELAND IN MEETING ITS NET ZERO TARGETS, ACCORDING TO STEIBEL ELTRON… Save space and maximise returns by going decentralised
STIEBEL ELTRON, a leading manufacturer of heating, hot water and ventilation products, has predicted that the electrification of heat to meet net zero targets will mean a move to decentralised building services for inner city and multi-occupancy buildings. Decentralised services simplify and streamline the process during construction as systems are installed in each individual residence or office unit,
making it possible to carry out a staged handover. Electric hot water and room heating solutions can be positioned where they are needed without the restrictions associated with gas feeds, flues or venting, simplifying the construction process. With electric point-of-use water heaters, less plumbing is needed between the heater and where the water is used, reducing labour costs, making the installation more cost-effective and reducing the risk of leaks. Instantaneous and unvented point-of- use water heaters and electric room heating also do away with the need for annual maintenance, a great annual saving for landlords. Mark McManus, Managing Director at STIEBEL ELTRON Ireland, said, “All our instantaneous water heaters feature bare wire technology which virtually eliminates scaling on the element for extended product life. “And as they are super-compact, we’ve seen enterprising developers save enough space over a development to allow for a whole extra dwelling when switching from a central store of water.
“Our three-phase units can even be used for homes with baths or multiple shower rooms and the costs of installing the extra electrical infrastructure are offset by the lower installation and maintenance costs. Not to mention that three phase is now often planned for vehicle charging in any case. “When it comes to clean, warm air, decentralised ventilation with heat recovery like our VLR 70 Trend product does away with the need for costly ducting and is particularly beneficial in retrofit situations where tenants might otherwise have to be rehoused while ducting is fitted. “With the added benefit of much reduced capital expenditure, smart electrical contractors are helping their developer partners increase profits with decentralised solutions.” Founded in 1924, STIEBEL ELTRON is a market-leading supplier of technology for building services and green technology, with a particular focus on central heating products such as heat pumps.
