The CCC’s June 2020 Emissions Progress Report
The Committee on Climate Change’s (CCC) most recent update on how the UK is progressing towards the achievement of emissions-based targets, such as net zero by 2050 and the carbon budgets, has certainly been listened to. There is no doubt that it influenced the Chancellor's recent Summer Economic Update and the decision to target a green recovery from the Covid-19 crisis.
So, what does the CCC see as the future of construction and what can be done to prepare for the changes this will make to HVAC specification?
We have summarised key industry insights in our 196-page report, structured by most commonly asked questions
Our report covers :
- How has lockdown affected the UK’s emissions progress?
- Has investment in low carbon solutions been shown to be commercially beneficial?
- Is the carbon tax scheme in London going to be applied to the whole of the UK? What does this mean for the development of upcoming regulation changes?
- Will Government address the cost difference between electricity and gas?
Our range of HVAC solutions aim to provide future proof technologies to building projects over various sectors.
Understanding Economy 7 Tariffs and the British Gas Dimplex Quantum Tariff
As energy costs become a central concern for households, the appeal of Economy 7 tariffs continues to grow. Designed for homeowners with modern storage heaters, who can shift their energy consumption to off-peak hours, Economy 7 tariffs offer reduced electricity rates during these times. Coupled with innovative heating solutions, this setup not only saves money but also contributes to a greener, more sustainable lifestyle.

Electric Radiators: Myths vs. Reality
Electric radiators are often surrounded by misconceptions that can discourage homeowners from exploring their benefits. This is mostly due to experiences with older and outdated electric heating systems. In recent years, innovations in technology have brought electric radiators back to the forefront as a reliable solution in home and commercial heating. Space heaters like the Dimplex Q-Rad and AluRad Wi-Fi offer intelligent features that make them ideal for replacing outdated electrical heating systems or a traditional wet radiator.
