Citigen Optimisation Scheme - Multi-Disciplinary Services
Citigen is the E.On operated decentralized district centre providing a lower carbon and cost-efficient source of energy in the heart of the City of London and reducing gas use by the individual sites it serves to save potentially 5000 tonnes of CO2 a year whilst providing sufficient energy to run 11,300 homes via 6km of heating pipework. The system provides heating and cooling to the City of London Corporation’s Guildhall and to the Barbican with it’s theatre, library and cinema and also to the famous Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
NorthSouth Consultants Ltd, with our experience in retrofit, cost consultancy and project management, have been appointed by the City of London Corporation for the £multi-million upgrade of the interfaces between the Citigen system and the City’s three sites above as part of the City’s net zero 2027 Climate Action Strategy. Working alongside global design and engineering company HDR, the scope includes optimisation of bypass controls, pump and valve arrangements. The works are phased with chilled water systems being upgraded in the winter and hot water systems being upgraded in the summer to minimise disruption to occupiers as the buildings will remain in use throughout the works. Overall, the optimisation project will increase ΔT temperatures and produce savings in excess of 2000MWh.
