Evinox delivers services for Octagon luxury home
A services solution based on solar energy has been devised by Evinox for this luxury-home development by Octagon Developments.
Evinox has continued its long-standing relationship with Octagon Developments with the supply of a solar solution for the Oak House a luxury 7-bedroom residence at Hadley Wood to the north of London. The services solution devised by Evinox include 9 m2 of Thermomax evacuated solar tubes, a 1250 litre thermal store to generate heating and hot water, alongside a Geminox condensing boiler to support the solar collectors. During commissioning of this project, even on mild winter days, the solar tubes generated enough energy to provide heating and hot water with the boiler isolated. For Octagon, the requirement to have a continuous supply of hot water is paramount in any heating and hot-water design. This requirement is met by coils in the thermal store to generate hot water at all times. Solar energy from the solar collectors is transferred to the hot-water tanks to indirectly heat the domestic hot water. The solar controller will bring the boiler on if the solar collectors cannot satisfy the demand of the thermal store. This solar controller also records how much energy is provided by the solar system, so the home owner will be able to see real and measurable benefits.
