Universities
Embark on a journey towards a greener future with BMD Renewables, a dedicated partner for university sustainability and energy team. We understand the unique energy challenges faced by universities. Explore how our innovative solutions are tailored to transform sustainability of campus wide heating and cooling systems for the long term.
Transforming Universities with Sustainable Heating and Cooling
Benefits
Geo Exchange technology revolutionises ground source heat pump systems, bringing a wealth of benefits to Higher and Further education campuses.
Optimize campus energy usage
Meet net zero targets
Mitigate future energy price risk
Enable phased replacement of gas
Adapt to diverse campus needs
Ensure uninterrupted energy supply
Embrace cutting-edge technology
The Geo-exchange concept combines the predictable energy of the earth with energy captured from cooling, ventilation or waste water. Doing so delivers best in class energy performance with one unit of electricity delivering up to 4.7 units of low carbon heat. Minimising primary energy usage in this way optimises both cost and carbon performance and minimises the impact of fluctuations
in the energy price.
Minimise primary energy usage
01
We understand that university campuses and the energy systems which supply them can be complex and varied. There is no big bang approach to decarbonisation. Geo-exchange can be deployed to replace gas for a single building or network or to displace some gas from centralised energy centres. Systems can be extended to incorporate more buildings or displace further gas as required.
Displace or replace gas
02
Whether its replacing gas as the heating source for an existing campus network, displacing some gas from your energy centre or providing the heating and cooling system for a newbuild Geo-exchange can help. We have deployed projects for new faculty buildings which are designed to be extended to provide heat and cooling to existing estates.
Retrofit or newbuild
03
Geo exchange can be deployed for newbuild or retrofitted to displace gas on existing estates. Doing so gives you options to take immediate steps towards meeting your net zero goals and provides an extensible infrastructure to remove carbon in the future .
Meet short and long term net zero targets
01
Geo exchange heating and cooling requires up to 90x less surface space than traditional ground source heating and cooling. Enabling more customers to take advantage of the benefits of ground source and preserving land for future development.
Minimise surface space
02
Our customers can choose from a range of aftercare options which ensure efficient, reliable system performance that reduces downtime and primary energy consumption.
Realise expected benefits
03
What We Do
Each engagement starts by working to understand your project. Our team use a proven approach to determine the specific requirements of your building or network including existing systems, energy demand profiles, potential waste heat recovery options, geological conditions and space constraints
Site Evaluation
01
We work with you to produce a concept design and associated cost models, outlining the upfront costs, ongoing operating expenses and potential savings. The models includes estimates for site preparation, drilling, heat pump installation & network infrastructure.
Feasibility & Cost Modeling
02
Our engineers design the Geo-Exchange system and network to meet your specific requirements. The design process consider factors such as energy efficiency, system reliability, resilience, maintenance, monitoring and cost optimisation.
Project Design
03
We help clients navigate the funding process, including securing grants, loans, and other forms of financing to secure a tailored financial solutions that can help improve the project's viability.
Funding
04

We are responsible for the project delivery, from drilling the boreholes to installing the heat pumps and distribution system. We can work as principal contractor or within your project supply chain to ensure the project is completed to the highest standards.
Construction
05
Once the system or network is operational, we offer a range of solutions to ensure the expected results are achieved. This can range from monitoring and alerting through to full system and performance management.
Operation & Management
06
At BMD Renewables, we believe that universities play a crucial role in shaping a sustainable future.
Join us in transforming higher education environments into energy-efficient, eco-friendly hubs that not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the positive image and financial efficiency of your institution. Together, let's create a university experience that is not only academic but also sustainable and forward-thinking.
A greener future
Our experienced professionals will guide you through an initial consultation to understand your specific needs and requirements. Whether you are a part of the food retail industry, residential development, university, or any other sector, we tailor our approach to suit your unique challenges and objectives.
Following a comprehensive assessment, we collaborate with you to design a customised plan, encompassing everything from funding options to the implementation of cutting-edge technology.
