Abstract
In many older, residential housing schemes, space and domestic hot water heating are provided by over-sized, gas-fired heating plants. In such systems there is scope for improving operating performance, particularly to reduce energy use and plant maintenance. Drawing on a monitoring programme in sheltered housing, this paper describes for designers, installers and operators some simple energy-efficient measures that can be applied to the design of centralised heating plants for residential accommodation.
