New heat pump system allowed the business to maximised indoor space for trading.
Project Challenges
Space limitation in The Pavilion where their plant selection is stored. Existing oil boiler system was old and faulty with increased risk of failure. Lost opportunity for additional indoor plant storage. Air quality in plant storage area reduced by location of boiler. Dust and smells.
Implementation
GS Renewable was consulted by Powerscourt Garden Pavilion on the approach to take for switching from oil usage to renewables for powering the heating of The Pavilion. With the challenges of space limitation, our team recommended our standard modular heat pump plant room to our client. This enabled our client to reclaim internal space for the business where the oil boiler had been located as the GS Renewable plant room is located external to the garden centre.
