University of Limerick — IBC 2 (Student Accommodation)
Project Overview
UL’s new accommodation block needed low-carbon space heating plus efficient hot-water support—quietly and reliably, 24/7. The design uses all-electric plant with built-in heat recovery to trim DHW costs.
Scope of Works
- 4 × MasterThermBA60iS inverter air-to-water heat pumps
- Radiator-based LTHW heating (zoned)
- Desuperheaterintegration for DHW preheat
System Description
- Each BA60iS modulates to match load; the four-unit staging maintains high efficiency at both peak and shoulder conditions.
- Desuperheatercircuits reclaim compressor waste heat to preheat DHW, reducing cylinder reheat energy.
- The onboard control suite enablesautonomous scheduling, load balancing, alarms, and secure remote access.
Project Results & Benefits
- Sustainable livingwith fully electric heating.
- Lower DHW energyvia heat-recovery preheat.
- Low acoustic profilefor residential comfort.
- Hands-off operationfor facilities teams.
