ABSTRACT
Current heating systems contribute as much as 23% to the UK’s emissions and, given the scale of buildings used within the public sector, expert advice and support is required for the smooth transition to more energy efficient heat networks. Delivering sustainable energy sources within both domestic and commercial settings has been a growing concern in recent years, further accelerated by the ongoing war in Ukraine and subsequent spike in global energy prices. District Heating supplies heat from a central source and delivers it to a number of buildings via a network of underground pipes. Public sector authorities are now taking advantage of the heat network proposition as a viable option in the drive to reduce their own carbon footprint and decarbonize their estates. Public sector clients require expert consultancy on energy efficient infrastructure and building solutions, across a range of different methods, whether through land disposal, refurbishing existing facilities or sourcing potential revenue streams for existing sites.
