AECB Retrofit of Low Carbon Technology Centre - Greengauge
Phase 2 of the HLNSC (Herefordshire, Ludlow and North Shropshire College) Low Carbon Technology Centre project involved the retrofit of a former stable building in the curtilage of a listed manor house, to create new a new teaching workshop and classrooms intended to help train new plumbers and electricians in the design and installation of renewable and low carbon energy technologies.

With a open loop compensated UFH system delivering >50W/m2 peak load you can expect SCOP of 4-5. The spark gap, or ratio in price between gas and electric, is about 4.
So you can expect cost/unit heat to be 20-50% cheaper with a heat pump.

🎄Day 20 – Smart Heating Choices
🔥 The key to an efficient heat pump is running it at the lowest flow temperature, e.g. with underfloor heating.
💡 Over a whole year heat pumps can deliver 3-4x more energy than they use, a good gas boiler would typically give 0.9x what it uses.
