Technical, Design & Specification Solutions: Waste Water Heat Recovery for Showers at RECOUP WWHRS
The Recoup Pipe+ HE Waste Water Heat Recovery System (WWHRS) is one of the primary energy saving solutions installed within David Wilson Homes (part of Barratt Development Plc) at the Tenbury View, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire development site.
Recoup introduced the Pipe+ HE waste water heat recovery system to Barratt’s Technical and Sustainability teams as a potential solution for them to consider. Recoup then worked directly with Barratt’s SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) partners, Thermal Economics to SAP model the Pipe+ HE within the properties.
The results of this process showed that waste water heat recovery was the most cost effective, high performance solution for Barratt Development’s Part L 2013 solution. Now the Recoup Pipe+ HE is a standard solution for over 50% of Barratt and David Wilson house types. This also resulted in the Pipe+ HE being awarded the Barratt Development Plc’s “Best New Product” of 2013.
The Pipe+ HE within the properties at Tenbury View were installed by Central Plumbing and Heating Services Ltd. Their installer hadn’t previously installed a waste water heat recovery system before working on the Tenbury site. He was impressed with the Recoup WWHRS system and what he expressed to be “An easy installation process”, taking a maximum of 1.5 - 2 hours to complete. He had experienced no installation issues on any of the plots he had installed.
The site has now completed, with only a few available homes remaining.

8 年Not only is this a cost efficient solution for house builders, but the service offered to SAP assessors is second to none. The support and advice given by these guys is superb. If you haven't yet used Recoup and their products in your solution package, I can highly recommend that you do.
