10 Point Plan: Green growth brings great opportunity for the electrical industry
15 Dec 2020
Boris Johnson has launched his Ten Point Plan for a green industrial revolution. It outlines how committed the government is in making the UK a world leader in sustainability, and creates a number of positive opportunities for the electrical industry.
Decarbonising heat and what lessons have been learnt?
10 Dec 2020
Decarbonising heat is seen as a key area to address if the UK is to achieve its net-zero 2050 target. The scale, complexity, and cost of the transition to low carbon heating technology means the industry needs time and support to adjust to the changes it faces. The much-anticipated regulatory framework and clear strategy for the energy transition process should provide a reliable platform to take on the challenges on our journey to a low carbon future.
How do we maximise the potential of heat pump technology to help us achieve net-carbon objectives?
9 Dec 2020
The roadmap to achieve the UK’s 2050 net-zero carbon target is still relatively unclear. This creates uncertainty about the implementation of low carbon solutions in the industry. The lack of direction in turn affects the ability to plan for future developments. Difficult specification choices, doubts over futureproofing strategies, and lack of preparedness for regulatory changes, are just some of the factors affecting heat pump specification in new developments and existing buildings in both residential and commercial sectors.
Key factors that will most likely influence the government’s 'Heat and Buildings Strategy’
8 Dec 2020
The long anticipated ‘Heat and Buildings Strategy’ is a crucial part of government policy that aims to prepare the industry for the challenges in achieving the UK’s 2050 net-zero target.
How to improve your heating efficiency this winter
7 Dec 2020
‘When do you switch your heating on?’ It’s a question that seems to rear its head every autumn, with the beginning of October being a common (but by no means definitive) answer. Whether you usually switch on your heating as early as September or try to hold out till late November, however, the colder seasons often still mean an increase in costs due to heating our homes.
How can reasonable distribution of cost support the decarbonisation of heat?
4 Dec 2020
We all have a role to play in meeting climate targets. The reasonable distribution of the cost of decarbonisation of heat could support a smooth transition to a low carbon economy. A considered approach could help navigate issues around fuel poverty and accelerate the uptake of a low carbon solution.
What are the barriers to increasing uptake of low carbon heating technologies?
5 3 Dec 2020
With heat accounting for approximately a third of the UK’s greenhouse emissions, the decarbonisation and electrification of heating in homes will play a central role in achieving the UK’s 2050 net-zero carbon target. The transition from prolific use of high carbon fossil fuels to low carbon heating presents the industry with many challenges. The relatively short space of time in which environmental targets need to be achieved means that the electrification of heating must be accomplished at great speed.
Supplementary heating solutions for homeworkers
2 Dec 2020
With homeworking becoming a way of life for so many of us this winter, it’s important to find a balance between keeping warm and not wasting money on the heating.
How can technological innovation in heat pumps help address the challenges of climate change?
2 Dec 2020
Innovations in heat pump technology are set to give us the tools for the decarbonisation of heat within commercial and residential developments. With over 30% of UK carbon emissions attributed to the heating of our buildings, tackling the carbon emissions connected with heat will represent a large contribution to our ongoing battle with climate change.
What are the 12 key factors that could shape a successful and sustainable UK heat pump market?
1 Dec 2020
Domestic, industrial, and commercial heat accounts for a third of UK carbon emissions. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the spotlight is on the decarbonisation of heat in buildings.
Staying well in the winter months
23 Nov 2020
As we move through autumn towards winter the shorter, colder days are settling in, and some of us may find ourselves feeling low or fighting off ill health.
Boris Johnson’s Ten Point Plan: Clean and green, but is it enough to support the decarbonisation of heat?
19 Nov 2020
Boris Johnson has launched his Ten Point Plan for a green industrial revolution. Ahead of COP26, this aims to show how committed Government is in making the UK a world leader in sustainability. But will this plan finally offer the infrastructure needed for the decarbonisation of heat?
