RBC sustainability manager Ben Burfoot said: “This project gives us the opportunity to pave the way for using this technology in new and existing buildings in Reading, as well as enabling us to maximise the use of ground-source heat pumps nationally to provide the low-carbon heating systems of the future.”
In bidding for funding, RBC had to show it had some experience in renewable energy and was in a position to deliver its part of the project. Wärmepumpe
The council has set a target of reducing carbon emissions across the borough by 34 per cent by 2020 based on 1990 levels including halving its own output, and with a further aim of being carbon-free by 2050.
