Residential Heating, Cooling and Smart Metering Commission Completed at King’s Cross Triangle
WilSon Energy has recently completed another project for a large residential and commercial development at The Triangle in London. The supply and commissioning of heating and cooling interface units, plus smart metering systems, is the latest project to add to WilSon’s already comprehensive portfolio of specialist heating and metering solutions across Related Argent’s Kings Cross estate.
The Triangle is a new mixed-use development which houses 218 apartments and a mix of retail, social and cultural functions as well as a community ecology garden. It forms part of the works immediately surrounding London’s King’s Cross station. The residential units include 140 open market and 78 social rented apartments.
Working for the on-site mechanical and electrical contractor, WilSon Energy, who was specified by the main client, has supplied cutting-edge heating and domestic hot water heat interface units (HIUs) to the 218 apartments, as well as 182 cooling interface units (CIUs) to work with the fan coil units for the open market properties.
Working on the phased project, the units were shipped to Dutypoint to install into purpose built prefabricated utility pods, prior shipping to site.
The HIU’s are equipped with Kamstrup 403 heating and cooling meters and WilSon’s patented designed smart metering system. This offers ‘pay as you go’ option or can be operated on a credit billing basis. With the smart metering system, property managers benefit from receiving 15-minute data, automatically sent to their systems, to manage services and resident queries
Andy Wilkinson, CEO of WilSon Energy, commented: “HIU commissioning is very specialised due to the fact these units are complex systems responsible for transferring heat from a central heating source to individual dwellings. They require specific knowledge and training due to their individual components, including heat exchangers, pumps, valves, and their controls which need to be set to achieve optimum performance.
“On this project WilSon Energy engineers carried out full commissioning of the HIU and CIU units, working to the main client’s specification, as well as the metering system, which now integrates with the site-wide platform.
“The WilSon Energy team also worked in conjunction with the site’s appointed commissioning contractor to ensure compliance with the checklist issued by appointed energy consultants, Fairheat.”
