PDHU
In 2005 David was commissioned by CityWest Homes to project manage the design and construction of a Green Energy Centre at the PDHU in Westminster. The PDHU provides clean, safe and reliable energy to approximately 3,200 properties and 56 local businesses.
The £6.9 million system upgrade consisted of 2 CHPs and 3 boilers, leading to savings of nearly 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year – the equivalent of taking 1,000 cars a year off the roads of London.
As well as being kinder to the environment, this has led to lower heating and hot water charges to residents. Excess electricity produced is exported and the money used to re-invest into Westminster housing.
The PDHU was chosen to feature in the London Festival of Architecture in 2008.
