Mitie cuts Lloyds Banking Group’s carbon impact with new electric heating system in Halifax

• Mitie has helped Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) to reduce emissions at its Halifax headquarters with a new ground source heat pump

• 新的热泵将节省高达6英镑,292,112千瓦时的燃气消耗, 将LBG的碳排放量减少高达1%,164吨, equivalent to the amount of CO2 produced from the annual 能源 use of 143 homes1

• The decarbonisation project is part of LBG’s long-term investment in modernising its estate and reaching its net zero operations target by 2030

Mitie曾与劳埃德银行集团(LBG)合作。, 英国最大的金融澳博官方网站机构, to decarbonise the heating of its Trinity Road office in Halifax. The new ground source heat pump system is projected to eliminate up to 6,292,112千瓦时的燃气消耗和高达1,164吨 of carbon emissions per year – equivalent to the CO2 produced from the annual 能源 use of 143 homes [1].

The site’s main heating source needed an upgrade to replace the building’s three 2200kW gas boilers which were 能源 intensive and beyond end-of-life. 除了, the Trinity Road site is a Grade-II listed building built on top of an old brewery which meant the Mitie team had to consider the historical and heritage constraints that come with refurbishing such heavily restricted buildings.

The project involved replacing the old gas boilers with a new electric open-loop ground source heat pump system to provide the building with renewable heating and cooling and removing the need for gas-powered heating. 除了 to the three existing boreholes which had previously been used by the old brewery for beer-making, the process required the drilling of two new ones to facilitate the 1400kW of renewable electricity required to heat the entire building. The boreholes were required at a depth of 300m – nearly as far below ground as the height of The Shard [2]. 尽管这个项目很复杂, 在整个施工过程中，这座建筑一直在运作, 对商业运作的影响最小,500名同事在大楼里工作.

This decarbonisation project builds on Mitie’s decade long partnership with LBG, covering 能源 services that support LBG’s investment in decarbonising its estate and reaching its target of net zero operations by 2030. This includes a recent project in which Mitie upgraded the external decorative lighting display of LBG’s iconic Edinburgh office, 阴阜, 一个更可持续的选择. This helped LBG to optimise its 能源 consumption and reduce carbon emissions saving 251,000千瓦时的能源, 减少73%.

Pradyumna Pandit, Managing Director, Sustainability and Energy Services, Mitie, said:

“Having worked closely with Lloyds Banking Group to support the decarbonisation of its estate and achieve its wider net zero goals, this was a challenging and interesting project which required an innovative approach. 英国要实现净零排放目标, there is an increasingly urgent need to retrofit existing buildings, 包括重要的历史遗址, so we’re proud to have delivered such a complex project whilst ensuring minimum disruption.”

Matteo Deidda, Senior Sustainability Manager, Lloyds Banking Group said:

“The successful installation of the ground source heat pump at our Trinity Road office is a milestone project in decarbonising our buildings and reaching net zero operational emissions by 2030. We know that collaboration is key to achieving our net zero ambitions and we’re grateful to Mitie for their partnership in delivering this important and innovative project.”
