Kensa join the TEDx debate on ground source heat pumps

Published by , Assistant Editor

Kensa Contracting’s recently appointed Director of Business Development, Karl Drage, has joined the global Ted community with a recent presentation at Leamington Spa College, UK.

The TEDx talk's aim was to encourage more consumers to adopt ground source heat pumps, and influence government policy to deliver a future of sustainable, low carbon heating infrastructure in place of fossil fuels.

Karl discussed truths about the current climate crisis and the stark effects of fuel poverty before offering a viable and tangible solution to these issues in the form of heat pumps.

Karl commented, "The way in which we heat our homes is currently at the very heart of the climate crisis and this has got to change. Heat is the single biggest factor in UK domestic energy consumption, contributing one-third of our greenhouse gas emissions, and is the single biggest cause of air pollution and climate gases."

Kensa has pioneered the adoption of ground source heat pumps with ambient temperature shared ground loop arrays, with the aim of delivering substantial carbon emission reductions and running cost savings utilising the most efficient renewable heat technology.

Karl concluded his talk by calling on homeowners to drive the demand for heat pumps and renewables to tackle the issues of climate change and fuel poverty head-on. Karl also explored the possible shape of a post-Renewable Heat Incentive funding package to enable the wide-scale adoption of renewables, in the form of 'Heat as a Service', which in years to come will enable consumer adoption of this low carbon, low cost technology without the upfront cost.
