2. Achieving a Net Zero Built
Environment
www.iesve.com
 Buildings are responsible for 37% of global energy
related carbon emissions.
 At present, heating our buildings makes up nearly
a quarter (23%) of the UK’s total greenhouse gas
emissions. (BRE Group)
 The need for engineers to re-design heating
systems is at the upmost importance to stop the
negative impacts of climate change.

3. What is a Heat
Decarbonisation Plan?
www.iesve.com
Technical strategies to replace fossil fuelled heating
systems in buildings with low carbon alternatives:
 Heat Pumps
 District Heating
 Improving Energy Efficiency
 Reducing Grid Demand (e.g. Renewables)

UK Policy on Heat
Networks/District Heating
Heat networks currently meet roughly 2% of UK heat
demand, but the government targets around 20% by
2050. The Energy Security Bill (ESB) will introduce:
 From 2025, Ofgem will be able to step in to regulate
heat networks.
 By 2025, to introduce heat network zoning into UK
urban areas, mandating the connection of many types
of buildings to heat networks.
2025 will be a big year…

Heating projects (or planning to)?

14. EU Policy
 Member States shall ensure that
regional and local authorities prepare
local heating and cooling plans at least
in municipalities having a total
population higher than 45,000
 Those plans should at least be
compliant with the energy efficiency
first principle i.e. Buildings First

Making Good Decisions
 Energy planning, design and reporting tools for heat decarbonisation
plans
 Minimizing the impact of electricity bills by improving building
energy efficiency
 Reliable technology is essential to make informed decisions to meet
decarbonisation targets
 The ability to scale our apache simulation engine across multiple
buildings and network will help respond quickly to the decarb.
challenge
 Simulate or integrate demand data
 De-risk decarbonisation investments using our technology
