Overview

Anda House, located in the well-established St Mellons Business Park, offers fully managed office spaces with communal breakout areas and a dedicated car park. The primary goal of this project was to significantly reduce the building's carbon footprint and align with broader sustainability objectives.

Objectives

To achieve the sustainability goals, an on-roof solar system was installed. This system harnesses solar energy, reducing the building's dependence on traditional, non-renewable energy sources. The implementation of this solar system highlights Anda House as a pioneering example for other businesses aiming to positively impact the environment.

Solution Provided

Nuvolt's expert team of installers undertook the installation process, ensuring the project was completed to the highest standards, ensuring a seamless process for Anda House.

The project was meticulously planned and executed in phases, primarily during off-peak hours, to accommodate the tenants' schedules.

Solar System Installation

A 33.3 KW solar energy system was installed on the roof of Anda House.

This system captures solar energy, converting it into electricity to power the building.

The solar system is expected to achieve a payback period of 3 years.

Energy Efficiency

The solar system significantly cuts down the reliance on conventional electricity, lowering overall energy and operational costs.

The building now utilises clean, renewable energy, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Maintenance & Management

Maintenance, including panel cleaning, electrical testing and ongoing monitoring will be managed by Nuvolt's team to ensure optimal performance of the solar system.

Regular maintenance ensures the system operates efficiently and extends its lifespan.

Tenant Considerations

Installation and maintenance schedules were carefully coordinated to minimise disruptions to tenants, ensuring their daily operations continued smoothly.

Public access points were kept clear and unobstructed to ensure the safety and convenience of tenants during scaffolding and installation activities.

“The primary objective for Anda House was to reduce the carbon footprint of the building and contribute to our sustainability goals.

With the expert advice and bespoke design provided by Nuvolt, we implemented a 33.3 KW on-roof solar system. This tailored approach not

only met our unique requirements but also resulted in a remarkable 46.87 MWH of energy production and a swift 3-year payback period.

Additionally, we are now saving 24,805 KG of carbon emissions per annum.

Nuvolt's dedication to innovation and sustainability has been instrumental in our journey towards a greener future."
