TINA
(picture
Ground Source Heat Pump | Hea ng only
TINA is a high temperature water heat pump. Configured in a double, cascading thermodynamic cycle, it u lizes natural hydrocarbon refrigerant to generate heat at 80°C (176°F). TINA is therefore suitable for use with new and old hea ng systems; it produces domes c hot water and performs the an ‐legionella cycle without recurring to electrical resistances. The average COP in the winter season may exceed the value of 3.5 according to the opera ng condi ons. 70% of the thermal energy produced comes from water, the remaining 30% from electricity, thus elimina ng all pollu ng emission on site. The result is a cost‐efficient solu on, which saves 40% to 65% of the annual costs of tradi onal fossil fuel hea ng systems. Fluids work at very low pressures, thereby removing any risks of either leaks or spills. It fits in micro‐genera on systems, where it contributes improving the overall efficiency and environmental impact. Manufactured in the sizes of 115kW, 250kW, 365kW and 500kW to achieve the required power, TINA represents the ideal solu on for public, residen al and commercial buildings, districts hea ng.

RETINA Ground Source Heat Pump | Hea ng and Cooling
RETINA is a high temperature water heat pump. Configured in a double, cascading thermodynamic cycle (single cycle in summer), it u lizes natural hydrocarbon refrigerant to generate heat at 80°C (176°F) and cooling at 7.2°C (45°F); it replaces in one solu on ‐ thus with single investment‐ a boiler and a refrigera ng unit RETINA is suitable for use with fan coils; it produces domes c hot water and performs the an ‐legionella cycle without recurring to electrical resistances. Average winter COP exceeds the value of 3.5 according to opera ng condi ons; during the summer season, the EER equals to 5.1. More than 70% of the thermal energy produced derives from water, the remaining 30% from electricity, thus dele ng on‐site pollu ng emissions. The result is a cost‐efficient solu on, which saves 50% to 70 % of the opera ng costs of tradi onal fossil fuel hea ng systems combined with chillers. Fluids work at very low pressures, thereby removing any risks of either leaks or spills. Manufactured in the sizes of 115kW, 250kW, 365kW and 500kW (equivalent to cooling powers of 96kWf, 208kWf, 304kWf and 417kWf), RETINA is the ideal solu on for offices, retail and commercial buildings/spaces, hospitals, sports clubs, swimming pools, hotels.

GSHP ‐ Ground source heat pumps ‐ & the green building ra ng systems Today sustainability assessments, such as LEED® and BREEAM® ra ng systems, occupy a central place in the design of sustainable buildings. They strongly focus on energy performance and environmental impact of the building solu ons as well as on the occupant health and well‐being. As a result, HVAC&R (hea ng, ven la ng, air‐condi oning and refrigerant) systems, such as ground source heat pumps, play a crucial role in the design of sustainable buildings. The energy performance of the equipment, the type of refrigerant used within the system and the energy source (renewable or fossil‐fuel based) are among the key aspects to consider when assessing the suitability of the HVAC&R systems for a building development. In such context, both LEED® and BREEAM® recognize the cri cal importance of the selec on of HVAC&R aiming at minimizing or elimina ng the emission of compounds that contribute to anthropogenic ozone deple on and climate change. In line with the Montreal Protocol and the recent European regula on on fluorinated greenhouse gases, green building ra ng systems award valuable credits points to hea ng and cooling technologies that employ refrigerants with low, or zero, ozone deple on poten al (ODP) and low global warming poten al (GWP). Due to their outstanding energy performance (high COP ‐ coefficient of performance ‐ and SEER ‐ seasonal energy efficiency ra o), low opera ng costs and a very low environmental impact of the natural refrigerant used within the system, TEON’s TINA and RETINA technologies represent an environmentally‐friendly and a cost‐efficient alterna ve to tradi onal hea ng and cooling systems based on fossil fuels. TEON’s ground source heat pump systems have influence on many LEED® and BREEAM® categories: Sustainable Resources and Materials, Energy and Atmosphere, Pollu on, Health and Wellbeing.

BREEAM Ra ng Systems a.
Intro
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is one of the world's most comprehensive and widely recognised ra ng system used to measure a building's environmental performance. BREEAM encourages designers, clients and others to think about low carbon and low impact design, minimising the energy demands created by a building before considering energy efficiency and low carbon technologies. A BREEAM assessment uses recognised measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks, to evaluate a building’s specifica on, design, construc on and use. These measures represent a broad range of categories and criteria spanning from energy to ecology. They include aspects related to energy and water use, internal environment (health and well‐being), materials, pollu on, transport, waste, ecology and management processes. b.
BREEAM Ra ng Systems:
Highly flexible, the BREEAM standard can be applied to virtually any building and loca on. The following BREEAM versions are available for buildings:
BREEAM New Construction 2014 BREEAM New Construction 2011 BREEAM Datacentres 2010 BREEAM Communities BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment 2014 BREEAM Non-Domestic Refurbishment&Fit-Out 2014 BREEAM In-Use

How BREEAM works
The BREEAM assessment process evaluates the procurement, design, construc on and opera on of a development against targets that are based on performance benchmarks. During the assessment process, score points – called credits – are awarded to developments for achieving targets within the following category:
· · · · · · · · ·
Energy: opera onal energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) Management: management policy, commissioning, site management and procurement Health and Wellbeing: indoor and external issues (noise, light, air, quality etc.) Transport: transport‐related CO2 and loca on related factors Water consump on and efficiency Materials: embodied impacts of building materials, including lifecycle impacts like embodied carbon dioxide Waste: construc on resource efficiency and opera onal waste management and minimisa on Pollu on: external air and water pollu on Land Use & Ecology: type of site and building footprint and ecological value, conserva on and enhancement of the site

Is BREEAM a mandatory or a voluntary scheme?
In United Kingdom, and in many other countries, BREEAM assessment has reached a strong market recogni on and it is seen by construc on and property sectors as the measure of best prac ce in environmental design and management. Although BREEAM is a voluntary scheme, the majority of local authori es in UK have incorporated BREEAM cer fica on into the planning process as a mandatory requirement for the new buildings. In par cular, BREEAM cer fica on was made mandatory by: · UK Central Government (for all new buildings and major refurbishments on the

Market penetra on
Introduced to the market in 1990 by the Bri sh Research Establishment (BRE) as a na onal system for office and residen al buildings, the BREEAM assessment ra ng is now used worldwide in over 60 countries for a range of different building type. In order to encourage even greater interna onal acceptance, a BREEAM Interna onal scheme along with country‐ specific BREEAM scheme were developed such as BREEAM DE (Germany), BREEAM NL (Netherlands), BREEAM NOR (Norway), BREEAM ES (Spain), BREEAM SE (Sweden) and BREEAM AT In‐Use (Austria). According to BRE, since 1990 more than 532,000 buildings have been cer fied worldwide, which equates to over 78 million of meter squared of floor area assessed. (Source: h p:// www.breeam.com)
