Rising to the challenge
The tallest building in Reading is enjoying substantial energy savings thanks to the installation of Tyco Thermal Controls HWAT single pipe hot water temperature maintenance system.
Rising 128m above the Reading skyline, The Blade has a distinctive spire that dominates the upper part of the building, and stands on a site on the eastern edge of Reading's commercial centre.
In order to meet the requirements of the building regulations and seek opportunities to reduce energy for this flagship development, NG Bailey opted for Raychem's HWAT M self-regulating cable and the HWAT-ECO control system as an alternative to a conventional recirculation system for the domestic hot water.
Installed by Woking based, Jointing Technologies in every washroom area on each floor of the building, the Raychem hot water temperature maintenance system offers an intelligent way to supply hot water which does not require return pipes, valves or pumps.
