Build with confidence in a changing world.
Commercial and large developments face mounting pressures—from stringent environmental regulations to rising energy costs. At Better Planet, we specialise in designing, supplying and installing renewables solutions, ensuring that each system (Ground Source Heat Pump, Air Source Heat Pump, Solar PV, MVHR, Underfloor Heating) is perfectly configured and seamlessly integrated for maximum efficiency.
Ourapproach guarantees you meet and exceed sustainability requirements while creating comfortable, cost-effective spaces for occupants.
The challenges facing commercial developments
Complex system integration
Piecemeal adoption of green technologies often leads to inefficiencies and higher long-term costs. We solve this by designing every piece of your system to work in harmony—from heat pumps to ventilation.
Regulations
New legal requirements demand advanced sustainability solutions. Whether it’s Part L of building regulations, planning, or industry specific changes, we keep on top of these and ensure you meet your requirements.
Increasing operational costs
Energy consumption is one of the biggest cost drivers in commercial developments. Our optimally combined systems cut ongoing bills and ensure the system works efficiently for its lifetime.
Demand for comfortable, healthy environments
Tenants, employees, and customers expect a comfortable building which meets their needs. Sustainability is important for users, and our systems deliver on this.
Our technologies
We believe that each energy solution should enhance the others, delivering a powerful result. Here’s how we make that happen:
Ground source heat pumps
What it is: A system that uses heat from the ground in a refrigeration process to heat your building and provide hot water.
The benefits: Highly efficient system with reduced carbon footprint and energy bills.
Air source heat pumps
What it is: A versatile, low-carbon heating and cooling system that transfers heat between indoor and outdoor air.
The benefits: Provides a scalable solution for buildings of various sizes, reducing both carbon footprint and energy bills.
Water source heat pumps
What is it: Take energy from nearby water bodies and turn it into eco-friendly heating or cooling for your property.
The benefits: Brilliant consistent temperature control and improved efficiency.
Solar PV
What is it: Photovoltaic panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity.
The benefits: Generating your own electricity lowers grid reliance, and reduces ongoing runnign costs.
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR)
What is it: A system that recovers heat from air leaving a building, reusing it to heat a building.
The benefits: Improves air quality and recovers up to 90% of outgoing heat.
Battery storage
What is it: Stores of electricity which can be charged and discharged in your building.
The benefits: Make the most of cheap electricity tariffs, and ensure the electricity you produce through Solar PV can be made the most of.
Blocks of flats
Multiple flat heat pump installations: ground source, air source and exhaust air. Often in combination with underfloor heating and solar PV
Schools & Universities
Ground and air source installations for schools and other public buildings, including a 120kW ground source system for a school in Hertfordshire.
High end residential
High end residential properties including heat pumps, offering cooling and heating. This can work in combination with pool heating, underfloor heating, solar panels and Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery (MVHR)
