Gaia supplies smart UFH system for smart Putney
Developer, London Square, has once again chosen to install GAIA's wet underfloor heating system in one of its prestigious residential developments. 113 Upper Richmond Road is a new-build, mixed-use development of 113 luxury apartments, plus retail space on the ground floor and office space on the ground and first floor and basement parking for residents. It is designed by signature architect, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.
Gaia, was chosen to supply the wet underfloor heating system to the 76 apartments in the development.
Heat is provided by a central gas-fired boiler and distributed to the apartments via a heat interface unit (HIU). This arrangement is highly energy-efficient and provides heating and hot water to each apartment on demand. Installed by specialist contractor, RPM Services, GAIA's underfloor pipework is embedded in the concrete floor screeds in each apartment and hidden flush sensors are fitted in each room to provide zoned control.
"The sensors are Gaia app-able which means they can be controlled remotely from your smartphone, tablet or PC," says Gaia account manager, Josh Demetrescu. "This not only allows users to control their heating system remotely; it can also be set to respond to predetermined signals."
"Using your phone's location monitoring function, the Gaia controls can detect when you are making your journey home and switch itself on accordingly. This type of advanced control system is surprisingly cost effective and becoming increasingly popular, especially in high-end developments like Upper Richmond Road," says Josh.
Now completed and fully occupied, 113 Upper Richmond Road forms Phase One of what will be known as London Square Putney. Phase Two, which comprises the demolition and redevelopment of the neighbouring site, 111 Upper Richmond Road, is currently underway. Gaia underfloor heating will again be installed here.
