Which heating and cooling emitters can I use with a heat pump?
Any hydronic heating and cooling emitter such as fan coils, radiators or trench heating, could be used with a heat pump.
There are a number of factors, however, which will ultimately impact the final specification. These include thermal requirements, such as whether the building needs heating only or heating and cooling, control requirements and design preferences, such as whether to have the emitter recessed or on view.
Will the outcomes of COP26 significantly speed up the uptake of low carbon technologies?
We are all waiting to see what the real impact will be from the climate summit COP26 for the construction sector, specifically with regard to the decarbonisation of heat. One of the insights that came out of the second day of the summit, which featured a session on clean technology and innovation, was delivered by UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson:
‘By making clean technology the most affordable, accessible and attractive choice, the default go-to in what are currently the most polluting sectors, we can cut emissions right around the world’.
Zeroth Energy System and district heat networks
The tightening timescales for reaching the 2050 net-zero carbon target require us to accelerate our efforts at the decarbonisation of heat. Ambient loop systems, such as the Zeroth Energy System, are being increasingly specified for multi-occupancy developments due to their high efficiency and capability to reduce a building’s CO2 emissions.This raises the question: can the Zeroth Energy System be specified in a district heating priority area, and can it connect to the district heating network?
How can the Zeroth Energy System overcome the challenges of overheating in large residential developments?
The Zeroth Energy System uses an ambient loop designed to operate at 25oC. This reduces heat losses through the distribution network that could otherwise result in overheating occurring in corridors and communal spaces.
Spring Clean for a Healthier Happier Home in Spring 2024
Spring is officially here! Even though it comes with a mixed bag of seasonal weather, one thing is certain: longer days and warmer temperatures are on their way. As the spring flowers bloom, returning some much-needed colour to our parks and public spaces, people often mark the change of the seasons with some spring cleaning.

The six main heat pump myths debunked
Heat pumps. and heat pump based solutions such as ambient loops or hot water heat pumps are proven technologies considered one of our main routes to achieving compliance with the new, 2022 Part L of the Building Regulations. The increased focus on heat pumps, including air source heat pumps, both monobloc and split system, has intensified the discussion on this low carbon technology that is sometimes misunderstood.
