| Schuco solar thermal canopy powers hotel’s water system Bielefeld ’s Schüco International KG, which became known as a supplier of window and facade systems, said a Northumberland hotel has installed its solar thermal canopy system as part of an extensive renovation and improvement programme aimed at making it into a low-carbon, or even carbon-neutral, business. This renewables heating and hot water solution – devised and installed by Revolution Power - will make a major impact on the carbon footprint of Battlesteads Hotel, especially now that the hotel is growing its own herbs and using local suppliers whenever possible. The three-panel canopy is used to pre-heat hot water in a buffer tank and runs in conjunction with a Bio-Mass Boiler fuelled by locally-sourced woodchips. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
