England: Wimpole Hall

National Trust chose ISOenergy for the difficult task of modernizing the heating systems of the Wimpole Hall building. The large seasonal changes, combined with the large surface areas and the general lack of insulation make heating a building of these characteristics very complicated. In the past, the solution has been simply to use large amounts of fuel to maintain the interior temperature. However, due to the increase in the price of oil and the need to be more respectful of the environment, National Trust decided that it was time for a change. ISOenergy chose Ecoforest heat pumps for this purpose, thanks to the success accumulated in other facilities.

Because of the large scale of this job, the national trust actually required two different installations, first a cascade of two ecoGEOheat pumps 15-70kW which were installed in the main mansion. Aditionally an installation was made in the restaurant attached to this building. In this case an ecoGEO HP1 of 12-40 kW, accumulating a total of 180 kW in the installation of Wimpole Hall and its annexes. The collection system used for this installation is made up of a total of 30 geothermal wells of 125 meters each, located in the parking area.
