Accelerating the transition to net zero carbon
Naked Energy are focused on decarbonising heat for their customers through the deployment of their Virtu product range. They aim to displace = 100 k tonnes of CO2 in five years by removing fossil fuels from the global commercial and industrial space through the deployment of high impact, cost effective and versatile solar heat and power technologies.
An example of their work can be seen in the decarbonisation of the Westgate Leisure Centre in Chichester. It is a publicly owned multi-function gym and health facility in Southeast England. The thermal demand for heating the swimming pool, providing hot shower facilities led the Chichester District Council to investigate alternatives to natural gas while still meeting energy demand.
420 VirtuHOT solar thermal collectors are now the primary source of pool heating. The VirtuHOT solar thermal collectors combine with PV panels, two Air Source Heat Pumps, and a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit on site. Virtu was installed by Naked Energy delivery partners OHM Energy and Solar UK.
