DECARBONISING HEATING & COOLING
In Europe, 50% of final energy consumption is used is for heating, cooling and refrigeration
Around 75% of this is met by burning fossil fuels – it doesn’t have to be like this
100% Renewable Heating and Cooling is possible by 2050 – Heat Pumps will play a central role in achieving this goal
Orenco Energy is an Engineering Company with 25years experience in Building Services and Renewable Heating systems. We design, install and maintain heating and cooling systems, such as heat pumps and biomass boilers that run on renewable energy sources.
Heating and cooling our buildings currently accounts for 33% of Ireland's energy demand. Only 5% of this demand is currently met by renewable technologies. At Orenco Energy, we aim to use existing mature technologies as well as proven sustainable systems to save running costs, meet renewable obligations and reduce CO2 emissions. Our mission is to enable the increased deployment of renewable heating technologies by completing installations that can be monitored and act as demonstration sites. These sites will prove that systems that are properly designed, installed and use the correct equipment provide real CO2 and running cost savings year on year.
Orenco Energy is available to take on sustainable engineering projects of all sizes and have nearly 20 years of experience designing, installing and maintaining heating systems for both new builds and refurbishment projects. We serve domestic, commercial and industrial customers in Tipperary, Kilkenny, and Waterford.
A Heat Pump is an electrically powered device that transfers heat from a colder area to a hotter area. As the lower temperature energy passes through the refrigeration process, its temperature is increased. Heat pumps harness free, renewable energy from nature or from waste heat streams and the system upgrades this energy to a usable temperature. Heat pumps can be used to heat residential and commercial buildings or industrial processes. Heat pumps can also be used to provide cooling and heating at the same time.
While there is a cost associated with harnessing this free, renewable energy, a well designed system can deliver significant savings in operating costs when compared to conventional systems. For example, a residential building can save up to 60% when compared to using Kerosene or LPG to heat your home.

A Biomass Boiler is an environmentally friendly boiler system that uses renewable resources in place of fossil fuels. Biomass boilers run on completely sustainable fuel that is generated from local agricultural and forestry activities. Biomass heating systems are environmentally friendly as they use this renewable resource rather than fossils fuels. Biomass fuel can also be stored and used on demand.
Replacing your traditional gas or oil boiler with a biomass boiler will have an immediate and positive impact on C02 emissions. The cost of supplying and installing a biomass boiler technology is dependent on each situation and the type of boiler chosen. However, a biomass boiler heating system can save you money in the long and reduce your energy costs by up to 50%.

Camphill Community Heating Scheme
Heating system consists of 200kW wood chip boiler supplying 3 groups of buildings. Difficulties existed with the distribution system. Detailed troubleshooting was required to identify and rectify problems with existing pumps and pipe-work. A comprehensive re-design of the system was implemented which included new heat exchangers, pumps and pipe-work.
