Standing proudly since 1840, Fleetwood Market is a historic landmark on the Fylde Coast. Recently, Wyre Council committed to achieving net zero emissions, embarked on a major refurbishment project to breathe new life into the Market while prioritising sustainability.

This ambitious project aimed to significantly improve the Market’s energy efficiency and reduce its environmental impact. A key element involved replacing the end-of-life fossil fuel boiler with a low-emission air source heat pump, complemented by energy efficiency measures and the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. This innovative approach not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also generates renewable energy on-site, a significant step towards the Council’s net zero goals, through Salix funding.

But how does this translate to a more comfortable and cost-effective environment for Fleetwood Market? Here’s where SPC’s iTwenty Eight water-based industrial radiant panels come in:

Superior Efficiency: iTwenty Eight radiant panels boast exceptional efficiency, converting a significant portion of the energy used into radiant heat. Compared to the older gas-fired system, this translates to substantial cost savings on heating and energy bills for Fleetwood Market.

Targeted Comfort: Unlike traditional heating systems that rely on air circulation, iTwenty Eight provides directional radiant heating. This means the radiant panels directly warm people and objects in their path, creating a more comfortable and even heating experience for stallholders and visitors throughout the Marketplace, even in localised areas.

Reduced Emissions and Cleaner Air: By replacing the gas-fired system with iTwenty Eight radiant panels paired with a low-emission air source heat pump, Fleetwood Market will significantly reduce its carbon footprint. This not only benefits the environment but also contributes to a healthier indoor environment with improved air quality within the Marketplace.

Zonal Heating Flexibility: iTwenty Eight radiant panels offer the advantage of zoned heating. This allows for targeted heating in specific areas of the Marketplace. This flexibility ensures optimal energy use and maintains consistent comfort levels throughout, eliminating unnecessary heating in unoccupied areas.

Long-lasting Performance: Our industrial radiant panels are designed for durability and a long lifespan, minimising the need for frequent replacements. This translates to lower maintenance costs for Fleetwood Market and the council in the long run.

SPC’s iTwenty Eight water-based industrial radiant panels are a perfect complement to Fleetwood Market’s new, sustainable heating system. This combination of innovative technology aligns perfectly with the project’s goals, offering significant improvements in efficiency, environmental impact, and comfort for everyone who visits and works at the iconic Marketplace. Fleetwood Market’s commitment to sustainability, alongside Wyre Council’s vision for a net zero future, ensures this historic landmark thrives for generations to come.
