St Mary Magdalen School

Challenges

  • Compatibility Issues: The existing infrastructure was tailored for a boiler system, necessitating extensive modifications to accommodate the new heat pump technology.
  • Limited Downtime: With regular school activities, there was a critical need to manage the installation process without causing significant disruptions.
  • Upfront Costs: There was initial concern over investment costs, particularly regarding how the new system would compare financially with the existing boiler.

Solutions

  • Detailed Assessment and Planning: Conducted a comprehensive analysis of the school’s heating and cooling needs, allowing for a tailored installation plan that addressed potential compatibility issues.
  • Staged Installation Approach: Developed a phased installation plan that allowed for the continued operation of school activities, minimizing disruptions while the new system was put into place.
  • Cost Analysis and Education: Provided the school leadership with detailed financial projections and benefits analysis, showcasing the long-term savings and operational efficiencies of the Mitsubishi system over the previous boiler setup.

Results

  • Significant Energy Savings: In the first month after installation, St Mary Magdalen School reported a remarkable reduction of $2000 in their energy bills.
  • Enhanced Comfort Levels: Feedback from school indicated improved comfort throughout the facilities, with more consistent heating and cooling performance.
  • Sustainable Energy Use: The heat pump system greatly enhanced energy efficiency, positioning the school as a proactive contributor to environmental sustainability while also ensuring reduced operational costs going forward.
