## Description
Coventry University has successfully secured
funding from the Public Sector Decarbonisation
Scheme (PSDS round 3c) to connect several of its
major buildings to a local existing low-carbon
district energy network and install ancillary energy
efficiency improvements. The university has made
the strategic decision to engage Bring Energy,
trading as Coventry District Energy Company
(CDEC), for the comprehensive design, supply, and
installation of this innovative decarbonisation
project.
The project will connect five groups of university
buildings to the existing district energy network for
the supply of hot water for space heating and the
provision of domestic hot water, with the potential
for the subsequent future connection of nearby
university buildings.
The university has chosen to award the project to
CDEC due to the following compelling reasons:
• Unique expertise and existing infrastructure: Bring
Energy (CDEC), formerly known as Equans, holds
an exclusive 25-year concession agreement
awarded by the local authority in 2012 to operate
the Coventry District Energy Network (CDEN). Their
network-specific expertise and operation of the
established network infrastructure in Coventry are
key factors in ensuring the success of this project.
• Integration and minimal disruption: CDEC's
expertise and experience in the operation of the
existing CDEN ensures that the connection of
university buildings can be achieved in an efficient
and timely manner, minimising potential disruption
during the construction phase and in the case of
any future maintenance requirements.
• Time critical delivery: the university has set
stringent timelines for the project completion
(design commencing August 2024, phased
installation from February 2025 to February 2026)
to ensure compliance with the PSDS funding
requirements. CDEC's familiarity with the local
network and expertise in district heating projects
significantly reduces design, permitting, and
construction timelines when compared to an
alternative supplier without specific knowledge of
the existing district energy network.
As a result of the above Bring Energy trading as
Coventry District Energy Company are considered
to be the only contractor able to meet the needs of
this project brief within the timeframe and provide
the end-to-end solution and added value to this
critical projec
