• Space Heating System: Combined Heat and Power District Heating network, fueled primarily by gas (80%) and wood (20%). Provides hot water for space and DHW heating via a flow and return circulation system to individual HIUs in each apartment
• Space Heating power contribution reduced from approximately 1,100 kBtu/hr down to 425 kBtu/hr (61% saving)
• Space Cooling System: Roof mounted centralized cooling plant serving individual apartments via a flow and return network connecting to fan coil units in habitable rooms
• Space Cooling System power contribution reduced from approximately 60 ton down to 42 ton (30% saving)

• Building lighting specification unchanged (LED design with sensor control)
• Some minor improvements to the appliance loads with slightly improved electric efficiencies – will also assist in running cost control
• DHW provided via the district heating network as per the Base Building Design – maintain the use of HIUs connected from the circulation feed toeach apartment to mitigate the need for DHW storage
• Improve the insulation spec from 1DN to 1.5DN on all hot and chilled water distribution services
