MJS Energy were asked by Allan’s Caravan and Holiday Park to design and install a renewable system to supply heating and hot water to their new state- of-the-art leisure facility at Aber Bay, consisting of a brand new luxury heated indoor swimming pool, lounge area, bar, restaurant, commercial kitchen
and changing facilities.

MJS Energy sent an expert team of Engineers who looked at a number of options when carrying out a feasibility study.
The MJS Energy team soon discounted the option of using biomass due to the narrow coastal roads leading to the area, which would have created logistical issues when delivering fuel.

The next option was to consider air source heat pumps, however, while conducting the study although the units were more than capable, it soon became apparent that the positioning would have been an issue as outdoor space was limited.

A ground source heat pump system was also considered. However, it was decided that it was not the right option for this vast project, as the ground around the area is either covered with buildings or static caravans, creating a lack of usable ground to construct a horizontal loop for a ground source system. Also, the cost of a bore hole type solution had to be considered.

• CO2 Reduction; The main benefit of providing heating and cooling for the development in this way is that it is a low-cost, low-carbon, scalable technology that can help accelerate the development to
  meet net zero carbon emissions.
• FINANCIAL BENEFITS: Moving away from a volatile fossil fuel market.
