District Heat Network

Installing energy solutions that are not only efficient, but are also environmentally friendly, is becoming a top priority for all building developments within the UK. District heating networks have become more popular than ever before, especially in cities where buildings are far more densely populated. District heating is a unique solution that provides heating to a number of buildings form one central energy source. Using a singular source of energy removes the need for individual gas boilers, and provides a far more efficient and economically friendly solution that also reduces carbon emissions.

We utilise energy analysis software to gain detailed data for the predicted energy demand of a project. This allows for the calculation of the optimum size of heating plant to work in conjunction with the optimum size of thermal stores. The heating plant may have different systems generating  heat  joined together to be able to achieve the maximum carbon savings.

 District heating provides an efficient solution for supplying low carbon heat to homes, businesses, and public buildings across the UK. It works by capturing heat energy from various sources and distributing it to consumers through a network of highly insulated pipes. This system not only reduces carbon emissions but also ensures a reliable and sustainable energy supply.

There is considerable support for the expansion of such heating networks. While just over 2% of UK homes are currently connected to a district heating network, more are expected to come online as the UK transitions to net zero over the coming decades.
