Sustainable HVAC Co, Jaga, commences building of new, low-carbon facility in Hertford
Jaga UK, designers and manufacturers of innovative, sustainable heating, cooling and ventilation systems, has begun building work on their new, low-carbon facility in Ledbury, Herefordshire.
The UK arm of the global company, headquartered in Belgium, has been based in Ledbury for over 25 years and has expanded steadily during that time. With the growth in the renewables sector, particularly the rise in popularity of heat pumps, the company feels it’s an excellent time to relocate to a new home that fully represents their eco-credentials and enables them to offer new services to customers as well as the wider community.
The company has named the future building ‘Kriekels House’, after the company’s founding family. Jan Kriekels, son of Jaga’s founder, is still at the helm of the company today as CEO and visionary.
Kriekels House has been designed with a fabric-first approach to maximise energy-efficiency and minimise carbon emissions. It will showcase the company’s heat pump radiators and low carbon heating and cooling technologies which will all operate with ground source and air source heat pumps. Electricity will be generated using solar PV and electric car charging points will be available for staff.
The new facility will be home to Jaga’s UK warehouse, offices, and training facilities where they plan to run training courses for HVAC engineers, installers, contractors and consultants. It will be open to students too, enabling them to learn about renewable energy systems, see the technology in action and get hands-on with the kit.
Jaga UK’s, Managing Director, Phil Mangnall said:
“We’re very excited to be building this new facility that embodies our company ethos – centred around sustainability, creativity and social responsibility.
Kriekels House gives us the opportunity to open our doors to the HVAC community. We’re looking forward to inviting customers and the wider industry to experience Jaga. The whole HVAC set up including our plant room, heat pumps and emitters will be accessible to visitors so we hope it will be a great showcase for low temperature systems and renewable energy technologies.”
Jaga is hoping to move from their current location into their new facility next summer.
