Project: Studentenhuisvesting Populierenlaan Groningen
Client: Rekrobouw
Installer: Broekema & Luppen Installateurs BV
Domestic Hot Water Configuration 2 x CD 100 direct-fired water heaters paired with 2 x 300-liter storage tanks
Central Heating Configuration 3 stuks Ambassador+ 180 en 1 stuks Ambassador+ 150
Project Scope and Location
The complete heating and domestic hot water infrastructure has been fully modernized within a large residential block containing 300 student apartments in Groningen. The facility has been repurposed specifically to provide housing for international students. To accommodate this shift in occupancy, the new thermal energy system was precisely engineered to match the heavy and variable peak demands typical of a high-density student demographic.
Technical Configuration
The mechanical plant was professionally installed by Broekema & Luppen Installateurs, utilizing high-efficiency equipment designed for commercial sustainability:Central Heating (CH): The building's space heating is managed by a cascade arrangement of four Ambassador high-efficiency commercial boilers (three Ambassador+ 180 units and one Ambassador+ 150 unit). Together, they deliver a combined capacity of approximately 700 kW, modulating dynamically to maximize energy savings.Domestic Hot Water (DHW): To secure a reliable, high-volume supply of hot water across all 300 units, the system integrates two dedicated CD 100 water heaters connected to two 300-liter storage vessels. This configuration ensures that rapid hot water demand can be met efficiently during peak morning and evening hours.
