 Hot water to appliances is generated through a second heat exchanger within the HIU. This is on a demand basis i.e. when a hot tap is opened then incoming cold water is heated to a set temperature to flow out of the tap. There will be a short time delay between opening an outlet for hot water and receiving hot water at the outlet.

	Heating to the apartment is via underfloor heating. The heating medium is generated by the heating interface unit (HIU) (Images 1 & 2) located in the utility room or cupboard. Primary inlet heating from the Park Hill central heat exchanger is continuously available for use at the HIU. This primary heat, when required, passes through the heating plate heat exchanger within the HIU which heats the heating water that circulates through the underfloor heating system when required.

	Control of the underfloor heating is via room mounted programmable room thermostats (Image 3). All the main living areas have thermostats which offer “zone control”.
