In this episode, Robert and the team visit the 1913 Sutton Dwellings estate in Kensington, Central London, where Kensa, in partnership with Clarion Housing, installed ground source heat pumps in 81 flats.
This project marks the oldest social housing in the UK utilising a networked heat pump system, challenging myths that heat pumps can’t be installed in flats, can’t function in old buildings, or lack space in London.
