CASE STUDY | THE OXFORDSHIRE RESORT water and prevents excessive brine water from contaminating waterways. Olafsson estimates that adopting this method of scale prevention will save the hotel and spa 1.5-2 million litres of water a year. The pipework, solar array and plantroom will be installed this autumn, and the heat pumps turned on, initially working alongside the oil-red boilers that act as a backup. The fun part will be switching it on and seeing what the performance is, says Olafsson, who is keen to continuously assess system loads and performance so the heat pumps can provide all the heating demand onsite including the spa and swimming pool and all oil boilers can be removed. Needless to say, a proper maintenance regime will be in place. If they are not maintained, the efciency can be eroded and were back to where we came from, says Bezuidenhout, who is bullish about how the retrot will affect The xfordshires bottom line The potential energy savings, RHI and solar installation gives us a ghting chance of making a huge impact, he says.
