Solar Thermal installed on the Cripps refurbishment (G & H staircases)

As part of the Cripps G&H staircase refurbishment, the College took an opportunity to install solar thermal for hot water generation. The savings for this installation were not vast because Listed Building Regulations prevented the use of the optimum location, orientation and angle, however the College continued on an environmental basis. The College registered for the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which pays out for renewable hot water generation, much like the Feed in Tariff (FiT) mentioned in the Maintenance PV system (below). The College is expecting to save approximately £1,000 per year from this installation. Actual savings will be displayed on this site in due course.
