ICAX™ Ltd provides
Interseasonal Heat Transfer™
to collect and store solar energy
in summer
to heat buildings in winter.
IHT™ also cools buildings in summer.
Renewable Energy for the Construction Industry
ICAX™ is a cleantech company helping to meet the demand for on-site renewable energy and sustainable development by using interseasonal heat stores in the quest for zero carbon buildings.
ICAX Limited provides a turnkey package for meeting sustainable energy targets on construction projects. We undertake design and installation to ensure that heating and cooling needs are met in a sustainable way. ICAX provides a complete range of services from initial feasibility through design and delivery, to in use maintenance.
ICAX achieves this with Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ – a complementary integration of well tried technologies.
ICAX™ Ltd implements IHT™ in a wide range of construction projects with a speciality in ground storage of heating and cooling energy using insulated Thermal Banks™ for inter seasonal thermal storage.
IHT is a complementary fusion of the two front runners in on site renewable energy: Solar Thermal and Ground Source Heat Pumps.
The value of IHT is greater than the sum of Solar Thermal and GSHP – because adding solar heat into the ground before the winter allows a GSHP to realise its full potential with double the efficiency of a GSHP alone.
IHT™ saves over 50% of carbon emissions compared to using a gas boiler for heating.
IHT™ saves over 80% of carbon emissions compared to using standard air conditioning and chillers for cooling.
Renewable Energy Integration for Schools
IHT is particularly relevant to contractors bidding for BSF Schools as it is the only convincing way to achieve the targets in the DCSF Building Bulletins without invoking the costs of air conditioning – which are rejected by The Treasury.
Although the primary function of IHT is to heat and cool buildings without burning fossil fuels this versatile technology, based on Heat Banks, has had successful trials for the Highways Agency at Toddington in clearing ice from roads using ICAX Asphalt Solar Collectors as part of Solar Road Systems.
ICAX has completed renewable energy projects at Toddington, Howe Dell School, Hiroshima, HM Garth Prison and is engaged on Suffolk One, a sixth form college in Ipswich and a new community centre in the London Borough of Merton.
Renewable Energy Systems
ICAX provides effective renewable energy systems by providing ThermalBanks to store the heat from solar thermal collection in summer, so that it can be used to heat buildings in winter using heat pumps.
