Published heating and hot water energy reduction, kitchen gas excluded; degree-day adjustment stated.
A full year
The year from installation in April 2024.
An individual OH4 installation result. This is not a forecast for your building.
From a single home to the group
Ablecare wanted to reduce energy consumption at Belvedere Lodge while keeping residents comfortable and the home operating normally. The OH4 system was fitted around the existing heating pipework in April 2024.
The published account reports no cutting, draining or downtime. The subsequent group decision followed the monitored result at that first home.
The evidence behind the result
| Source data | Before-and-after meter readings from Belvedere Lodge. |
|---|---|
| Reporting period | A year from April 2024, compared with the pre-installation baseline. |
| Included loads | Heating and hot water. Kitchen gas is excluded from the reported percentage. |
| Adjustment stated | Degree-day adjustment for weather. |
| Published consumption figures | 138,768 kWh before and 101,076 kWh after. |
| Subsequent decision | The client instructed OH4 to fit the remaining five homes, making six across the group. |
The published summary also gives a separate 38,855 kWh saving. It does not show how the exclusions and adjustments reconcile that figure with the consumption totals above. The 27% is retained as the reported result; ask for the calculation walkthrough before relying on the kWh total.
The client’s decision
“Ablecare have instructed OH4 to fit their Energy Saving System to the remaining 5 care homes in the group.”
