BEN Balanced Energy Networks A Balanced Energy Network answers two of the most pressing problems now facing engineers: how to reduce on-site CO 2 emissions (to nil) from heating how to reduce on-site NO 2 emissions (to nil) from heating. A Balanced Energy Network is a new form of district heating that circulates water at near ground temperature to each building on the network to …

District Heating & Cooling Heat Sharing Network™ Heat sharing between buildings on the same network A Heat Sharing Energy Network is the ideal energy saving tool: it enables heat to be recycled from those buildings which need to reject heat to those buildings which need heating. A Heat Sharing Network connects a number of buildings with a piped water circuit from which a heat pump in each ...

The BEN Consortium prefers to work in conjunction with architects and M&E consultants from the earliest stage to ensure that there is a clear understanding of how we can help you to save energy, save carbon emissions and save costs on the design and installation of a heat sharing district network.

40,000 die from air pollution in the UK each year Urban Air Quality Poor Air Quality is caused largely by the incomplete combustion of carbon compounds A variety of air pollutants have harmful effects on human health and the environment. In most areas of Europe, these pollutants are principally the products of: incomplete combustion from burning fuels for space heating power generation motor ...

BEN Partners BEN Consortium The BEN Consortium consists of the partners who were drawn together under the leadership of ICAX to deliver the first Balanced Energy Network at London South Bank University as part of the Innovate UK funded BEN Project: ICAX ICAX has developed Interseasonal Heat Transfer to enable buildings to be heated in winter with solar energy captured in the previous summer ...

District Heating & Cooling Fourth Generation District Heating Networks Fourth Generation District Heating Networks are designed to work at lower temperatures and enable a more cost effective transition away from burning fossil fuels toward heat supplied from local renewable and secondary heat sources, such as from waste heat or heat transfer from groundwater. The objectives of …

Articles District Heating District Heating – Community Heating – Heat Networks District heating is a system for distributing heat for space heating and hot water to residential and commercial properties using piped networks. District heating plants can provide higher efficiencies and lower carbon emissions than local gas boilers. The standard approach is to employ a …

LETI London Energy Transformation Initiative The London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) is a network of over 1,000 built environment professionals working together to put London on the path to a zero carbon future. The voluntary group is made up of developers, engineers, housing associations, architects, planners, academics, sustainability professionals, contractors and …

Articles District Cooling Cooling and air conditioning accounts for an increasing proportion of energy use as modern glazed buildings absorb large amounts of solar energy and temperatures rise to unacceptable levels. The standard solution for cooling is very inefficient The standard solution of mounting chillers of the roof and "wasting" heat energy into hot air is very inefficient: it ...
