Our Lady Of The Assumption R C Church and Assumption Priory, Victoria Park Square, London, E2 9PB
Observation requested by Diocese of Westminster Churches Committee for the existing boiler equipment is approximately 15 years old. Only 25% of the boilers are currently working, parts are obsolete and no longer available. The boilers provide heating for the Church and it is imperative that the building is heated sufficiently to protect the historic fabric. New smaller boilers, valves, pressurisation unit and finned tube heaters are required to redesign the system. It is expected that efficiency of the system will be 30-40% more efficient and will improve the comfort of the parishioners. It will lower heating costs and environmental impact in line with the Churches Net Zero targets. Limited works are required externally i.e. removing the existing flues in an interior courtyard and replacing with new black powder coated flues. There is limited loss of historic fabric of the Church as a result of the proposals.
