Over the past six years the University of Liverpool have been in partnership with a company named Vital Energi Networks. Together they have been working towards a goal that essentially aims to reduce the amount of carbon emissions and energy being released from the University.

In order to achieve the goal of reducing co2 output by 30% by 2017 various strategically important projects have been delivered. A number of innovative projects have been invested in which contribute to an overall greener campus, so below let’s take a closer look at the project and what was involved.

The system comprised of more than 1km of district heating pipes which connect to the university’s first CHP energy centre.

After the success of the first instillation, then came the agreement and recommendation by the University to other heating projects with its contractors. Success of the initial installation meant that an additional 0.9km of pipe was installed connecting additional premises.

What is district heating?

This technology works through a network of pre-insulated pipes that are used to circulate heat, hot water and cooling. They operate from a central source of pipes and can be used on public premises, mixed use developments including residential and commercial establishments.
