REHAU Ltd. - Interseasonal Heat Transfer™

Interseasonal Heat Transfer™

for the collection and storage of solar energy

REHAU has formed a strategic alliance with ICAX™ Limited, which provides Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ for the collection and storage of solar energy to heat buildings in winter and to cool buildings in summer.

ICAX™ Limited is dedicated to implementing Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ in a wide range of construction projects with a speciality in ground storage of heating and cooling energy using insulated Thermal Banks™ for interseasonal thermal storage.

After successful trials and pilot projects, REHAU has been appointed as the supplier of polymer pipework to ICAX.

REHAU and ICAX worked together on a pilot project for the Highways Agency at Toddington in which Interseasonal Heat Transfer was used to successfully capture solar heat energy from the road during the summer, store it in Thermal Banks in the ground and release it back to the road during the following winter to keep the road free of ice.

The REHAU pipework used for the solar capture, storage and heat distribution performed well during the trial, and REHAU has now formed an alliance with ICAX which will see it supply pipework for future IHT projects, typically in schools, prisons and commercial buildings where there is appropriate outside space for solar capture.
