Project Summary
 
This project was carried out and part funded under SEAI’s Better Energy Communities (BEC) Scheme 2014.

Founded in 1970, SHARE is a Cork based Charitable Organisation which provides accommodation and day-care facilities for the City’s Elderly Poor.

This project involved the boiler and heating controls upgrade of Mt. St. Josephs, an 1890’s constructed listed building which houses 42 Senior Citizens in individual apartments and includes facilities such as a community kitchen, dining hall and a creative arts unit.

 A major achievement on this project was that works were completed in a confined space with limited timeframe without any loss of heating and hot water to the elderly residents.

The scope of the work for this project is as follows:

Supply and Fit 3 no Baxi 115kw Condensing Gas Fired Boilers
These condensing boilers have an advanced modulating system which can perfectly adjust the heat output to the real needs of the heating system. The modulating boilers ensure the right comfort and wellness inside the building, in varying climatic situations throughout the year. A cascade system was allowed for which will bring many advantages, such as higher efficiency, less expenses, greater safety – since the cascade system allows to maintain the heating function as active – in case of maintenance on one of the connected boilers.
Building Management System | Hot Water Storage Calorifer | New Gas Slamshut Valve c/w Gas Panel and Sniffers | 120lm Mains Gas pipework was also renewed.
