Baxi Donating to Christian charity Caring For Life

The Baxi Group has donated a second boiler to the Christian charity Caring For Life at Crag House Farm, which has been supported over a number of years by CRASH, the construction and property industries’ charity for homeless people.

The latest boiler to be installed at the charity’s new Adult Learning Centre is a Potterton Paramount two 40 kW model. Supplied with an lpg conversion kit, the boiler is installed in the plantroom connected to a standard flue and serving two VT radiator circuits. Paramount two’s ISR control system is monitored and controlled by an onsite Trend Building Energy Management System.

The new facility is the culmination of several years of planning and fundraising, and over six months of building work. A mammoth task for a relatively small charity, it comprised the extending and refurbishment of an 18th century barn to incorporate an art and craft room, drama and music workshop, literacy and numeracy room, media suite and a farm shop and café.

The Paramount two range of wall-hung condensing boilers delivers energy efficiency levels up to 109 per cent net as well as low NOx, which exceeds Class 5. The boilers have premix fully modulating control and the aluminium/silicon alloy heat exchanger carries a lifetime guarantee.

The ISR control system has volt-free contacts for BEMS interface and features a control panel with full text display of operational status. Also incorporated is inbuilt weather compensation, summer/winter changeover and time control facilities. The ISR controls may be used with a simple room thermostat or, as in this installation, with a fully integrated Building Energy Management System.

Crag House is a working farm and the base for Caring For Life’s daytime activities. It provides homeless, vulnerable, socially excluded and disabled people with hands-on work experience in the care of animals, horticulture, conservation, workshop and IT skills.

The new Adult Learning and Arts Centre will broaden the scope of training to include art and crafts, literacy and numeracy, drama, music and media. It is due to be officially opened in the autumn by the charity’s patron, HRH The Countess of Wessex, who has been associated with the work for a number of years.
