Graphene-Based Underfloor Heating Trial to Start in Jersey Social Housing

A new pilot trial using graphene-based inks in underfloor heating systems is set to commence in the Channel Islands, aiming to revolutionise energy efficiency in social housing. The trial, led by graphene technology specialist Haydale in partnership with Jersey Energy Technologies (JET), will assess the performance and cost-effectiveness of this innovative heating solution. Haydale’s proprietary HDPlas™ functionalisation technology is key to this development, capitalising on the impressive thermal conductivity of graphene to deliver efficient heating solutions.

_{Key Findings: Graphene vs. Traditional Systems}

Lower Operating Costs: Data from in-house prototype systems indicates that graphene ink underfloor heating could cut operating costs by up to 30% compared to traditional wired systems powered by mains electricity. This reduction not only lowers energy expenses but also provides a sustainable heating option for residents.

Energy Efficiency: The graphene-based heating system offers a more consistent and efficient heat distribution, leveraging graphene's thermal properties to create a warmer, more comfortable environment while using less power.

_{A Sustainable Solution for Social Housing}

The Jersey trial will bring Haydale’s graphene underfloor heating technology directly into social housing, where energy efficiency and cost savings are paramount. By evaluating real-world performance in a residential setting, the trial aims to validate earlier prototype data, demonstrating that this graphene-based technology could be a scalable solution for energy-efficient housing.

_{Graphene Technology: A Game-Changer in Home Heating}

Haydale’s underfloor heating system introduces a new dimension to home heating through the use of graphene ink. Graphene, known for its remarkable thermal conductivity, allows for a more rapid and even heating experience, potentially transforming the energy landscape for home heating. This trial will provide critical data on its effectiveness and operational savings, paving the way for broader adoption.
