Exhibitor Spotlight with Baxi
BAXI will be exhibiting at The Energy Storage Show, part of Energy Technology Live on 12th & 13th March 2025, at Stand 634.
What are the latest innovations your company has introduced in energy storage technology?
We’ve have launched a range of thermal substations combined with thermal stores to allow buildings to connect to district heat networks, with our thermal substation solutions properties can efficiently store thermal energy to manage a buildings peak heating and hot water demand more effectively.
What are the primary applications for your energy storage solutions?
Buildings that connect to a heat network are great applications for a BAXI integrated solution, we specialise in designing and manufacturing end to end solutions to manage thermal needs across a project.
Can you share any successful case studies or projects where your technology has been implemented?
BATTERSEA POWER STATION Baxi supplied offsite fabricated utility cupboards for the residential apartments. The final pods included a HIU/CIU for heating and cooling, mechanical ventilation heat recovery, underfloor heating, electrical distribution, and metering and billing devices. The success of the utility cupboard element at the Battersea Power Station development project demonstrates the value-added benefits of using offsite fabricated heating solutions in both refurbishment and new build multi occupancy developments. Increasing use of modern solutions like these is clearly critical if we are to tackle the heating industry’s skills shortage, meet the huge demand to create new housing stock safely through increased productivity and help the UK achieve its net zero emissions goal.
VALIANT HOUSE Using modern methods of construction and prefabrication enabled housing association Charlton Triangle Homes to refurbish one of its high-rise residential tower blocks to the required standards with minimum disruption. Relocating the original rooftop plantroom – the Board’s preferred option involved installing new high efficiency condensing boilers in a newly created centralised ground floor plantroom at the rear of the building. The new boilers supply new Heat interface units (HIU), unvented indirect cylinders with electric back up, and individual heat meters in each property.
How does your technology contribute to reaching the UK’s Net Zero targets?
With space heating and hot water accounting for 21% of the UK’s carbon emissions our technology has the potential to provide significant contributions to the UK’s Net Zero targets, heat networks enable mass decarbonisation and have the benefit of being able to take advantage of waste energy sources and repurpose it into useful heat for our buildings.
What trends do you see shaping the future of energy storage?
An interconnected, multi-dimensional energy system where power seamlessly flows between users and producers. Smart home devices can autonomously determine the optimal energy source to use at any given time and even act as energy buffers. The climate solutions of the future will intelligently switch between multiple clean energy carriers, maximising efficiency and sustainability.
How is your company preparing for these future trends and challenges?
BAXI is part of the BDR Thermea group, we are constantly reinvesting in research and development across our operating companies to stay at the forefront and drive continuous improvement across sectors. We currently have several R&D projects developing intelligent climate solutions.
What will you be showcasing at your stand at The Energy Storage Show?
A HIU and a thermal sub station
Who are you hoping to meet at The Energy Storage Show?
We are hoping to meet people that share our enthusiasm for energy storage, we’d love to discuss how our systems can add value to a project and help overcome a challenge.
