| Objectives | Review of the different building types and use types within Bridgend and specifically the Bridgend Council estate portfolio (industrial, large commercial, small commercial for example). Draw upon previous Wales & West Utilities work in the area, including consumer willingness and ability to pay. Identify the existing range of heating systems used in non-domestic properties. Identify any existing control technologies and optimisation strategies. Identify the suitability of buildings and their users to switch to using a hybrid heating systems Explore whether with similar control and load management characteristics to those used on the Freedom Project could apply to non-domestic buildings. Review all potential heating technologies suitable for use in the non-domestic heating market (including gas heat pumps, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and hydrogen fuels cells). Identify potential differences between the control technology solution delivered for Freedom and that which would be required for a range of non-domestic buildings. The feasibility study will use a variety of data sources including: Existing data held by Bridgend Council. Information gained from site visits and technology audits. Interviews with building users on current heating system operation including schedule and temperature control. Desktop technical evaluation of existing heating systems and control systems including physical integration points and control protocols. Site surveys for the installation of appliances. Understand the viability, risks and costs of delivering a proof of concept smart hybrid heating innovation project in the non-domestic market, with indicative whole energy system impacts to explore in such a field trial. | |
