Briars Hall Country House Hotel, set in the historic civil parish of Lathom has replaced the 400 kW heating system comprising several gas boilers, with a purpose-built wood-clad Windhager BioCABIN. By converting to biomass, the new system will help the hotel to reduce its carbon footprint, providing a carbon saving of around 180 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Briars Hall offers 25 en-suite bedrooms and is a scenic venue for bistro dining, weddings, conferences and other events, with a significantly high annual heat demand of 236,520kWh. Installing the BioCABIN which houses three Windhager Excel biomass boilers in cascade, the 180kW system complete with a 16 tonne capacity stainless steel wood pellet hopper will help the hotel to achieve its objective of providing a more sustainable and cost effective solution to heating the premises.
Having made the switch, the hotel will receive 6.8p per kW generated in payments from the commercial Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), with an estimated total of £359,510 over the next 20 years.
Windhager’s BioCABINs are designed to house BioWIN kaskade systems of any size and are tailor-made to meet the requirements of each individual installation. The cabins are delivered to the site and connected to the mains supply of the property through an underground feed. This allows a quick and stress-free installation allowing hotels and other businesses to remain open during the process.
The biomass systems are designed especially for commercial properties, such as hotels, with a high demand for a reliable and efficient heating source. The system can be set to provide constant or variable heat to its maximum capability and produce an output of up to 240kW from up to four wood pellet boilers, tailored to the heating demands of the property.
