  4. THE FEASIBILITY STUDY OBJECTIVES • · to explore the technical possibilities for a low carbon emission conversion of the existing office building into saleable residential units. These technical possibilities will include • o the use of a heat pump with a heat source as the river Wensum (thereby replicating the original 1940’s heat pump), • o the use of low thermal mass under-floor heating to provide improved coefficients of performance • o the provision of general background heating for communal areas and low level heating in residential units. • o the provision of individual heat pumps for individual heating control for each residential unit. • o the configuration of the individual heat pumps – i.e. as piggy back to main background heating or utilising separate ground coils • o the possible provision of MVHR units (Whole House Heat Recovery Units) using novel heat pump technology to provide a particularly efficient recovery.

THE FEASIBILITY STUDY OBJECTIVES • to explore the technical possibilities for a low carbon emission conversion of the existing office building into saleable residential units. • the use of a heat pump with a heat source as the river Wensum (thereby replicating the original 1940’s heat pump), • o the use of low thermal mass under-floor heating to provide improved coefficients of performance • o the provision of general background heating for communal areas and low level heating in residential units

  6. · to explore the concept of optional additional energy conservation packages – e.g. improved insulation, photovoltaics, summertime fabric cooling via the heat pumps. • · to explore how such options might be funded; e.g. by an additional capital cost option or via the Energy Service Company concept. • · to explore the financial models for the development and in conjunction with the adjacent commercial development and compare the cost differential with traditional provision of heating/lighting – such consideration will also examine the offset costs – e.g. of not reinforcing the gas main provision, or providing 107 gas flues. • · to explore how the unique historic link of the building to energy conservation might be exploited. • · to appraise the possibility of linking the generation of electricity needed for the heat pump(s) with a bio-diesel powered CHP in the adjacent commercial complex and thereby reduce carbon emissions still further. • · to disseminate the information gained to the wider community.
