Mitigation of global warming is a reality that we must all now face. Legislation is driving increased use of sustainable energy and businesses will have to demonstrate that their buildings are energy efficient and minimise CO2 emissions. More importantly, companies see the benefits of demonstrating to key stakeholders that they take a responsible approach to the environment.   Cool Systems understands these issues and is helping clients meet and exceed the targets with its energy efficient products and investment in renewable energy solutions.

Heat Pumps   Heat pumps upgrade naturally occurring low temperature heat into useful high temperature heat and vice versa to provide cooling.   This technology is already well known in the air conditioning market and has proved very efficient when used for cooling and heating. However, in other countries such as Sweden and Switzerland, heat pumps are often used as a primary source for heating and hot water. Heat pump technology is very flexible, with excellent energy efficiency and CO2 reduction potential.   Cool Systems uses heat pumps in its advanced air conditioning units to maximise the heat and cooling potential of each system and minimise the energy consumption and therefore the CO2 emissions.

Heat Pump Heating   Heat pump technology offers a real potential for energy, and therefore C02 reduction, within buildings and especially within the home. This innovative, new technology offers the possibility of joining heat pumps to under-floor heating systems, domestic boilers and heated swimming pools to supplement the energy consumption of both the cooling and heating requirements of modern life.   The operational characteristics of a heat pump are totally different to a traditional boiler. With a conventional boiler, one kilowatt of energy in provides less than one kilowatt of heat to the building. With a typical electrically driven heat pump boiler, one kilowatt of energy in will give more than 3 or 4 kilowatts of heat to the building; these efficiency levels are predicted to rise year on year, increasing the benefits to customers and reducing CO2 emissions further.   Cool Systems obtains heat pump boiler technology from its suppliers that can work with an air conditioning system or completely independently to provide a building’s hot water supply in a far more energy efficient way than traditional gas-fired boilers.
