The CCC’s June 2020 Emissions Progress Report
The Committee on Climate Change’s (CCC) most recent update on how the UK is progressing towards the achievement of emissions-based targets, such as net zero by 2050 and the carbon budgets, has certainly been listened to. There is no doubt that it influenced the Chancellor's recent Summer Economic Update and the decision to target a green recovery from the Covid-19 crisis.
So, what does the CCC see as the future of construction and what can be done to prepare for the changes this will make to HVAC specification?
We have summarised key industry insights in our 196-page report, structured by most commonly asked questions
Our report covers :
- How has lockdown affected the UK’s emissions progress?
- Has investment in low carbon solutions been shown to be commercially beneficial?
- Is the carbon tax scheme in London going to be applied to the whole of the UK? What does this mean for the development of upcoming regulation changes?
- Will Government address the cost difference between electricity and gas?
Our range of HVAC solutions aim to provide future proof technologies to building projects over various sectors.

Why was GDHV's hot water heat pump solution used for the pioneering Project 80?
We recently published the first blog in our series on the ground breaking Project 80 by Midland Heart in Birmingham. This blog explains in more detail why a fully electric solution with a hot water heat pump by Dimplex at its heart was selected as one of the technologies to deliver the objective of the project - homes built to the Future Homes Standard, today.

Heat pumps, heat networks and direct electric heating - should Government mandate where they are used?
During the recent Future Homes Standard consultation, Government showed their support for using heat pumps, heat networks and direct electric heating within future residential developments. But what is the best application for each of these solutions?
