Bath Abbey Footprint Project

As one of the most visited places in the South West, Bath Abbey welcomes over 420,000 visitors annually and has a regular congregation of 600 people.

The building’s 100-year-old heating system was starting to fail.

The new system utilizes Bath’s hot springs via EnergyBlade heat exchangers that collect heat from the thermal spring water flowing through the drain from the Roman Baths and down into the river.

Every day there is around 1.1 million litres of hot water flowing through the drain which stays a constant 40°C all year round.

Heat Energy extracted from this water is sufficient to heat the historic Abbey as well as the adjacent row of Georgian cottages (Kingston Buildings) that house the Abbey offices, Song School and volunteer facilities.

Kinetic have supplied, installed, & commissioned the Building Energy Management System to integrate the Building Services Plant giving the Abbey energy efficint comfort control.
