| Stated aim of project |
|
The large increase in oil price made it interesting to consider alternative heating options. Vallehemmet is located outside any densely populated area which meant that district heating was not an option and ground source heat would result in too great investment costs. It was therefore decided to install biomass heating system, using wood-pellets. For the year 2004, the cost of heating decreased by 220 Skr – which represents a pay-off time of 4.2 years. |
