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.
IP ratings for electric radiators and why they matter
6 Sep 2024
What are the IP ratings for electric radiators and why do they matter?
IP ratings indicate how well the enclosure around a device such as an electric radiator or a panel heater, will protect the internal mechanical and electrical components from the ingress of solids and liquids. Intrusion into an electric radiator by fingers, foreign objects of various diameters, or water could pose a hazard to the user and risk damaging the product.
What is the difference between radiant heat and convection heat for an electric radiator?
6 Sep 2024
The source of the warmth felt from an electric radiator can either come from radiant heat or convection heat and sometimes a combination of both. However, what is the difference between those heat types and how do modern electric radiators utilise them to deliver heat in the most appropriate and efficient manner?
What are the radiator surface temperature regulations for schools and nurseries?
6 Sep 2024
In this FAQ we look at the regulations covering schools and nurseries that define the maximum safe surface temperature of radiators. The regulations require specifiers and asset managers to select radiators that can operate with a low outer surface temperature to achieve compliance.
