Project Overview

Deployment of heat pumps in mid­ and high-­rise buildings is both technically complex due to internal and external space constraints and commercial difficulty, as well as to proportions of social housing within these buildings.

This project aims to develop a standardised modular vTherm Hub (vT Hub) to supply heat as a service (HaaS) to homes in mid­ and high-rise buildings. The vT Hub is designed to simplify and accelerate deployment using inherent flexibility to enable heat to be sold at affordable cost.
