Decarbonisation: LCHP Phase 1 Kingsmead Boiler Replacement Installation

Award outcome

Description

Kingsmead School are a school within the DfE Decarbonisation pilot. Initially, the school was to receive a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) from the Decarbonisation project, and were included in the feasibility stages of the project. The feasibilities, however, concluded that the school was not suitable for a GSHP. There was not sufficient space to drill boreholes in the school site. Exploration work was done at the time to analyse the possibility of utilising neighbouring Council land for the boreholes, which was refused. Accessing the 'District Heat Network' was explored however this relied on the completion of a new heat network being produced. As this is a lengthy process, the school is being provided a like-for-like boiler replacement in the interim (this was originally a reactive RPA case where the school's main boilers aren't in operation).
