Heat networks provide only a small proportion of the UK’s current heating needs, but have huge potential to deliver much more, says Jonathan Monkcom.
By overcoming this cultural norm of considering buildings in silo, multiple building owners could use heat networks to make schemes more viable and gain greater carbon savings as a collective. When this is combined with recent innovations that mean lower temperature solutions, such as heat pumps, can offer the same benefits as conventional heat networks, a wider range of applications is now possible. Additionally, the building sector’s improved analytical skills and understanding of energy conservation contribute further to this expanded potential.
