As the UK accelerates the transition towards net zero, low carbon heating has become a central focus on both new builds and retrofits. This CPD webinar will explore new technologies, regulation changes and design considerations driving the shift away from fossil fuels, and key innovations. Presentations plus audience Q&A.
- Overview of the transition to low carbon heating and its policy drivers
- Latest updates on regulations and standards impacting heating design and specification
- Heat pump technologies explained: air source, ground source, air-to-air, and hybrid systems
- Designing for performance: system sizing, emitter selection, and integration with building fabric
- Common challenges in retrofit projects and how to overcome them
- The role of thermal comfort, occupant behaviour, and system controls in real-world performance
- Alternatives and complementary technologies, including heat networks and hybrid systems
- Electrification of heat and implications for grid demand and infrastructure
- Integrating renewable energy sources such as PV and battery storage with heating systems
- Practical lessons from real-world case studies across residential and commercial developments
