Foundation opens new low-energy office building in Milton Keynes
Phase II of the National Energy Centre was formally opened by Dr Mary Archer, President of the National Energy Foundation. The building is designed to be an exemplary low energy office building, with a gross floor area of 430m2 able to accommodate up to 36 people, including storage and limited meeting space. The new building is highly insulated and uses a 13kW Viessmann heat pump to provide warm water to an underfloor low temperature central heating system, avoiding the need for radiators on the limited wall space. On bright days, the heat pump will be powered by a photovoltaic (PV) array and hot water for the kitchen and toilets will be pre-heated by a Thermomax evacuated tube solar collector. A small pellet-fired wood burning stove has been fitted as an auxiliary heating system, although it should not be necessary in normal operation.
