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.
What is the difference between radiant heat and convection heat for an electric radiator?
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?
Dimplex Launches Alta Wi-Fi Panel Heaters
Introducing Alta Wi-Fi, a slimline, wall mounted panel heater from Dimplex. Replacing Monterey, Girona and Saletto, Alta Wi-Fi offers a more lightweight, Scandinavian-inspired design with a range of stylish clip-on glass accessories (sold separately) making it the ideal space heating system for building projects where space saving and aesthetics are key.
Hot water heat pump solutions and SAP10.2 modelling
In this blog we look at the changes in SAP 10.2 that are encouraging the use of electric HVAC solutions such as hot water heat pumps. Fossil fuels are gradually being phased out and we explore the ways in which SAP 10.2 addresses the need to move away from the traditional gas boiler towards more sustainable, low-carbon alternative solutions.
