Net Zero Portfolio
a holistic, affordable approach to decarbonisation
Daisyfield, Together Housing
Kensa partnered with Together Housing as part of widescale a 3-year retrofit programme of their housing stock to maintain their residents’ comfort and safety, save them money on heating bills, and move away from fossil fuel reliance. At Daisyfield Towers, night storage heaters were replaced with ground source heat pumps, along with the installation of new fire safety doors and sprinklers.
“This was a challenging and complex project combining replacing the heating system with installing a sprinkler system, new alarm system and upgrading the buildings’ electrical infrastructure. All of this was completed with the tenants in their homes. We are delighted to be working with Kensa to both manage and deliver this project for the benefit of our tenants and the decarbonisation of our stock.” Patrick Berry, Managing Director, Together Energy Services
Thurrock Council
Kensa worked with Thurrock Council to replace night storage heaters with ground source heat pumps, which are three times more energy efficient, across three high-rise social housing tower blocks, comprising 273 residences. The project will reduce fuel bills by over 50% for some Thurrock residents, protecting them from the energy crisis and the risk of falling into fuel poverty.
“Getting the households at Chadwell St Mary up and running with a renewable heating system is a milestone that should be celebrated. Kensa’s ground source heat pumps are providing residents with reliable, efficient and future-proofed heating which utilises the natural heat in the ground. This innovative project will help make these homes warmer and greener and drive down fuel bills.” Cllr Luke Spillman, Thurrock Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing
