Heat pump base panel
Decarbonising the installation of Heat Pumps.
The UK government aims to significantly increase heat pump installations, targeting 600,000 installations per year by 2028. This ambitious goal is part of the broader strategy to decarbonise heating and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Using concrete in built environment projects significantly increases the embodied carbon due to its highly intensive production process, the energy used to produce the products and the water wastage in production.
The amount of concrete used for heat pump installations can vary depending on the type and scale of the installation. Typically, concrete is used for the base or foundation of the heat pump unit. The installation process involves creating a stable base, which might require a concrete pad, especially for outdoor units.
The VASO Heat Pump Base Panel (VASO HPBP) can not only contribute significantly to energy efficiency in air source heat pump (ASHP) applications, but it also plays a crucial role in an integrated system that enhances mass performance while reducing the carbon footprint of the installation.
vaso hpbp benefits:
vibration damping
Our innovative base is designed to absorb vibrations more effectively than concrete. This can reduce noise and wear on the heat pump, potentially extending its lifespan.
thermal insulation
Our composite base innovation offers better thermal insulation properties compared to concrete. This can help maintain a more stable temperature around the heat pump, improving its efficiency.
