Merepark is the latest addition to the Altidore Gardens community, located in Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow. Central to this development is a focus on sustainability, innovation and connectedness to the scenic surrounding beauty of the Wicklow mountains, with their rolling hills, peaceful glens and native woodland.
With a total of 154 houses in this development, it was important to get the heating and domestic hot water systems just right. D/RES, the developer and one of Ireland's leading sustainable private housebuilder, wanted to create energy efficient homes that would provide the homeowner with both comfort and reliability. Enter: Mitsubishi Electric. Mitsubishi Electric collaborated with McGuinness Mechanical , a leading mechanical engineering contractor, from the earliest stages of this project’s inception. The McGuinness design team worked closely with Mitsubishi Electric throughout the project’s lifecycle with the two collaborating on pre-site start-up meetings, on site visits, pricing, designs, heat loss calculations, selections and sizing the units.
From day one, when we started working with Mitsubishi Electric in the precon, everything ran very smoothly. Right from getting the product delivered on site and the install package and indeed when it came to commissioning and the aftercare, everything has been very streamlined and very successful
With the goal of sustainable living with modern comfort, Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan heat pumps were the perfect fit for the housing development. Ecodan Heat Pumps are the renewable, low carbon alternative to traditional high carbon heating systems, and provide reliable, renewable heating technology that deliver highly efficient sustainable space heating and hot water all year round.
All homes were fitted with a 6kW Split Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan Heat Pump. The Ecodan outdoor units provide an innovative, stylish and compact single fan unit. The outdoor unit upgrades freely available heat energy from the air and transfer it to the home to provide space heating for radiators and/or under floor heating. It utilises advanced technologies to deliver improved efficiencies. However, an Ecodan is not only highly efficient; it is also one of the quietest units available on the market. An Ecodan renewable heating system provides an easy installation.
Each property was also fitted with a 170L indoor units. These indoor units handle the space heating and DHW demand. An Ecodan provides the home with a continuous supply of hot water via a dedicated hot water cylinder - just like a standard boiler.
With an Ecodan Heat Pump, there is a range of controls to choose from including an advance wireless controller. A simple room controller allows the homeowner to control their own system and monitor its performance remotely. With the MELCloud Home App any smart device can be connected and control the heating and hot water locally, contributing to the overall efficiency of the property and giving tailored comfort to each household.
“Mitsubishi Electric has reliability, green credits, sustainability and that sort of background to it and we felt that a partner like them with their knowledge, their background, their historical track record that’s really what we were looking to partner with”
However, for the homeowner the Mitsubishi Electric journey does not stop once the site is finished. All the household units are register to the INSTALL ME App, meaning the homeowner will get a notification when their unit is due to be serviced. To ensure maximum performance from an Ecodan Heat Pump throughout its working life, the system needs to be regularly serviced and maintained.
