• The design and installation of a heat network in a rural community in Cambridgeshire to replace oil boilers in 300 homes with centralised low carbon heat generation.
• The design and installation of a ground source heat pump system to provide heating and cooling to a new development of 300 homes a gym and office building in South London.
• The design installation and operation of a new city centre wide low carbon district heating system for the City of Cardiff
• Developing detailed longterm decarbonisation plans for existing large scale district heating networks to allow them to transition from gas fired CHP led generation to low carbon generation.

Hemiko is absolutely committed to an honest and collaborative approach to all our work to being innovative in everything we do always looking for better ways to do things and on avoiding the business curses of unnecessary complexity and silos.
