Kensa Utilities, one of the UK’s leading ground source heat pump specialists, has won the Green Business Award for its innovative project, ‘Heat the Streets’. The award recognizes businesses that are committed to sustainability and reducing their environmental impact. ‘Heat the Streets’ is a pioneering project aimed at improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and helping to alleviate fuel poverty in the UK.
Ground source heat pumps use the energy stored in the ground to provide heating and hot water for homes and businesses. Kensa Utilities’ ‘Heat the Streets’ project involved the installation of over 3000 ground source heat pumps in social housing across 16 local authorities. This has created a sustainable heating solution for some of the UK’s most vulnerable communities.
This award-winning project demonstrates the importance of sustainable heating solutions, and how they can contribute to reducing our impact on the environment. As a plumbing services company, we understand the crucial role we play in providing energy-efficient plumbing solutions that help to reduce our carbon footprint.
Here are some of the ways in which we can help you make your plumbing more environmentally friendly:
1. Install Efficient Plumbing Fixtures
By upgrading old fixtures such as toilets, faucets, and showerheads, you can reduce the amount of water used when performing daily routines. Install low-flow showerheads and aerators to reduce water flow without compromising pressure. Also, consider installing a dual-flush toilet to reduce water consumption.
2. Insulate Your Pipes
Insulating hot water pipes is a simple way to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. By insulating pipes, you can significantly reduce heat loss and ensure that hot water gets to where it’s needed faster, which reduces water wastage.
3. Install Energy-Efficient Water Heaters
Installing energy-efficient water heaters such as tankless water heaters can help reduce your energy consumption and water usage. These systems provide hot water on demand and stop heating water once you turn off the faucet, reducing energy consumption and lowering your bills.
4. Schedule Regular Plumbing Maintenance
Regular plumbing maintenance can help detect leaks, identify worn-out fixtures, and ensure optimal performance of your plumbing system. Fixing leaks can reduce water wastage, and ensuring that your plumbing system is functioning correctly can improve energy efficiency.
5. Consider Reusing Water
Reusing water is an innovative way to reduce water wastage and lower your water bill. Greywater systems allow you to reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for irrigation purposes. Rainwater collection systems collect and store rainwater, which can also be used for irrigation.
