Introduction
A high-performance sports training facility in the North West required a reliable, energy-efficient domestic hot water (DHW) solution to support its intensive daily operations. With a focus on reducing carbon emissions and operating costs, the site sought a modern alternative to traditional hot water systems.
Lochinvar was selected to supply and commission a heat pump-based solution capable of meeting the facility’s consistent and high-volume DHW demand, while aligning with wider sustainability goals.
Project Objectives
The project needed to deliver a robust and efficient hot water system that could support a demanding usage profile, including changing rooms, showers and welfare facilities used throughout the day.
Key objectives included:
- Provide a consistent and reliable DHW supply during peak usage periods
- Improve overall energy efficiency compared to conventional systems
- Reduce Scope 1 carbon emissions associated with hot water generation
- Deliver a future-ready solution aligned with decarbonisation targets
- Ensure smooth installation and commissioning with minimal disruption to site operations
Solution
Lochinvar supplied and commissioned two Amicus AquaStore heat pump water heaters as part of the site’s upgraded DHW system.
Designed specifically for commercial applications, the Amicus AquaStore units utilise renewable heat energy from the surrounding air to efficiently generate hot water. This approach significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels while maintaining high performance and reliability.
