University Halls Warm To Thermaskirt

One of Cambridge University’s oldest purpose built student residences, Cripps Court, has recently undergone a complete refurbishment to bring it up to 21st century standards.

The need to update the accommodation into clean and comfortable living spaces for the 200 student tenants was combined with the desire to become a more energy efficient building. Discrete Heat’s ThermaSkirt heating system was called upon to fulfil all the briefs and provide a cost effective alternative to traditional heating systems.

Heating such a large building with many individual rooms results in hefty energy bills. Combined with the lengthy instalment process that traditional systems entail gave enough reason for the architects to look into the unique alternative ThermaSkirt provides. Pitched against the proposed panel radiators, Discrete Heat’s ThermaSkirt was found to offer better energy efficiency and space saving as well as much easier installation advantages.
