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.
How to specify the right heat pump for your residential project: Project design and site constraints
10 Jan 2024
This blog is focussed on the considerations around site constraints that should be considered by Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) consultants and other building professionals when specifying heat pumps for residential projects. It is taken from the white paper ‘A technical guide to the specification of heat pumps for single dwellings and multi-occupancy residential or mixed-use developments’ to give you a taste of just one of the many important areas that can influence specification choices covered in this comprehensive white paper.
Updates to core Building Regulations hail the start of an energy transition
20 Dec 2023
Last week saw the introduction of new Building Regulations for England with implications for heating, ventilation and hot water use in new and existing homes. This marks the start of an energy transition as we decarbonise our homes to meet future climate targets.
What is the requirement for HVAC system compliance for a collective housing application?
19 Dec 2023
One regulatory requirement for collective housing applications, or large residential developments, is to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations. The updated Part L has been published and is concerned with the conservation of power and fuel in buildings. Fixed heating, ventilation and air conditioning services in new residential dwellings play a large part in achieving the required energy performance of a building and their targets and requirements are outlined in this Approved Document.
