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.
Why was GDHV's hot water heat pump solution used for the pioneering Project 80?
We recently published the first blog in our series on the ground breaking Project 80 by Midland Heart in Birmingham. This blog explains in more detail why a fully electric solution with a hot water heat pump by Dimplex at its heart was selected as one of the technologies to deliver the objective of the project - homes built to the Future Homes Standard, today.
Humanising Policy: Exploring the Good and Bad of Electricity
Everything seems to be going electric: it started with our toothbrushes, then our cars and now increasingly our heating. At GDHV we speak a lot about the electrification of heat, but what does that really mean?
What is EN 14511?
EN 14511 sets out standardised performance and rating terms for air-conditioning units, heat pumps and liquid chilling packages that supply space heating or cooling. EN 14511 is used for a determination of the Coefficient of Performance (COP) that gauges the performance of a heat pump.
