The Future Homes Standard 2025: Changes to Part F 2021
The Future Homes Standard has brought about the review of all aspects of residential building design. Here we outline the changes to Part F of the Building Regulations which address ventilation and maintenance of indoor air quality in residential dwellings.
A Futurebuild Exclusive – Primary Energy Report
Industry events are a good platform to understand about future affecting the construction industry. This is why we are launching our newest report and seminar event at Futurebuild 2019 on a transition expected in the Part L update, which will change the focus of compliance.
Getting ready for 2020 compliance
The consultation for the Future Homes Standard, including Government’s proposal to update Approved Document L and Approved Document F during 2020, has closed. The final version, taking into account the feedback from industry on the initial document, is likely to be published mid-2020 and become the new standard in the closing months of this year.
Glen Dimplex responds to new Building Regulation Approved Documents
This week saw the long-awaited publication of the English Building Regulations. Having contributed to the workshops and consultations that led to these new Approved Documents, we were pleased to see much of the industry feedback cited appears to have been incorporated, particularly in the case of flexibility when replacing traditional fossil fuel systems.
What do you need to consider with a ground source heat pump (GSHP)?
There are three key considerations when specifying a ground source heat pump (GSHP); installation, energy efficiency and aesthetics.
Heat pump COP & EER and central plant SCOP in ambient loops
What is the COP and EER of an in-apartment heat pump? Is the SCOP of the central plant a better indicator of energy performance for an ambient loop?

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?
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.

How to correctly size an ambient loop heat network using diversity factors
As their name suggests, ambient loops operate at significantly lower temperatures than traditional communal high temperature heating systems. This means that a different approach is required when sizing the ambient loop distribution system. Calculation of such systems follows a procedure where diversity is used to determine the design flowrate for a development. It also determines the sizing of pipework and circulation pumps for an ambient communal network solution such as the Zeroth Energy System. The in-apartment flowrates required for the selected size of the Zeroth Heat Pumps can then be calculated.
