Item 04 stromness swimming pool boiler replacement
This document contains a report on replacing the end-of-life heating system at Stromness Swimming Pool. It compares efficient oil boilers with air-source and ground-source heat pumps, considering cost, space, energy use and carbon emissions; heat pumps would cut emissions but require much more funding and space. The recommendation is to install efficient oil boilers with solar panels as a practical short-term solution, while keeping future zero-emission heating under review; a Carbon Trust study identifies air-source heat pumps with solar panels as the preferred long-term option if funding allows.
