Abstract

This paper aims to introduce a heat recovery scheme that will collect waste energy from the London Underground in Islington, London. The system is based on the installation of an air to water heat exchanger within a ventilation shaft of the London Underground. The heat captured is distributed to a heat pump, which upgrades it to a suitable temperature for reuse and provides low carbon energy to a local district heating network. This paper introduces some of the key aspects of the technical design of this novel urban heat recovery and delivery system. Its theoretical performance is evaluated and compared to the previous heating method used for the buildings supplied by the network. It also provides recommendations for the implementation of future installations for secondary heat recovery and reuse in cities.

Period	25/04/19 → 26/04/19
Other	The 9th annual CIBSE Technical Symposium, “Transforming Built Environments - driving change with engineering” took place at the University of Sheffield from 25-26 April 2019. The 2019 symposium provided an opportunity to examine and share research, development and applications that will drive change in the regulation, creation and maintenance of the built environment as well as evidence where there are still clear opportunities to benefit from established practices.
