Comfort cooling in city-based apartments
What are the considerations for comfort cooling in city-based apartments?
What is EN 15316?
EN 15316 offers guidelines that set out a common calculation method to estimate the energy use and energy performance of heating systems in buildings. The values are calculated for the whole installation and help to analyse the impact on energy performance. The values also help to establish energy performance indicators such as the Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF).

What is EN 14825?
EN 14825 sets out the temperatures, part-load conditions, and calculation methods for determining the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). It applies to the operation of air-conditioning units, process chillers, and particular types of hybrid heat pumps. The values used to define the SCOP can be calculated or measured. If measured values are applied, the standard covers the applicable test methods.
Should the government discourage mechanical cooling?
Should the government discourage mechanical cooling?
The UK government’s proposal to introduce an overheating in new dwellings regulation aims to address the impact of rising summertime temperatures and increased risk of heat waves on buildings, especially within our overheating cities.
Reversible heat pumps to provide comfort cooling
The recent government consultation into a new overheating regulation has shown the importance of designing safe and comfortable spaces, especially in our overheating cities. With summertime temperatures set to increase, what role could heat pumps play in offering a solution?
Why should we be installing electric heating into our homes?
The way we heat our homes is changing as existing systems need to move away from gas-based heating towards electrification. The UK government is championing retrofitting with heat pumps, but what benefit could direct electric products offer in an electrified future?
Net zero pathway: direct acting solutions for existing homes
Why are direct electric solutions a viable net zero pathway to decarbonising the existing housing stock?
National Clean Air Day: Don't let your allergies get the best of you
National Clean Air day aims to draw attention to the ongoing concerns around air pollution and its impacts on our environment and our health.
What is diversity in HVAC systems?
What is diversity in HVAC systems, and how does it affect HVAC system design and specification for residential developments?
Diversity in HVAC systems within medium to large scale developments acknowledges that it is unlikely the maximum demand of all individual users of the system will arise concurrently. The total heat demand in a building is likely to be lower than the maximum or peak demand at various points in the heat network.
