Netherthird Primary School – Hussh Pod

At the Netherthird Primary School project, the site cabins, including a drying room, could not be connected to the mains supply due to the quick start on site. The project is also close to a large residential area and the team was conscious of the noise a traditional generator would give.

The site team knew they wanted a hybrid generator, specifically for the noise reduction benefits and Wernick offered them their latest innovation called the Hussh Pod. During the day the generator runs on HVO fuel which charges up the HUSSH Pod the universal energy storage system allows the site to run on a battery out of hours. It can be set on a timer to run during the day so that no one had to be there at the weekends. This allows the system to run as normal during the day and then onto the battery at night for the CCTV. The entire system is monitored by Wernick’s telemetry system, giving us data on usage, which can be used to identify the most efficient generator size and coordinate fuel deliveries.

Having this has meant the project has made high savings on both carbon and fuel – the figures below are based on the first 90 days after installation. Although this system is more expensive than your typical diesel generator, the savings in fuel more than make up for this cost.
