Summary
As estate managers look ahead to the next window of Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme funding, the Net Zero and Heat and Buildings strategies introduced in 2021 set out an ambitious vision for public sector buildings to reduce their emissions by 75% by 2037, compared with 2017 levels.
Heat pumps often take the limelight for heating technologies that can help us to decarbonise. But district heating and Heat Interface Units (HIU) should have a much bigger profile as a solution that will have a transformative impact on our emissions.
In the years ahead, district heating systems, also known as heat networks, could be heating millions of UK buildings.
District heating removes the need for buildings or properties to have their own individual heat source, instead delivering thermal energy in the form of hot water from a centralised source to end users through a network of insulated pipes. This boosts efficiency and reduces heating costs for organisations.
