Stiebel Eltron UK Ltd

This session is designed to help those involved in building design and building services specification identify which electric technology is likely to be the most cost efficient for their project.It provides basic understanding of the space and situation considerations for heat pump projects and the differences between air and ground source systems.Participants will also learn the pros and cons of different decentralised electric heating methods and be given the tools to estimate the size of direct-acting heaters needed for a given project for planning costs and space requirements

This session provides an overview of the implications of the Future Homes Standard on heating systems for those designing buildings and specifying building services.UK building regulations are evolving to reduce both embodied carbon and carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency in new developments, whilst creating healthier built environments. Whilst standards are performance based rather than technology specific, the changes do make certain technologies (such as heat pumps, MVHR and solar) much more likely to be required to achieve compliance.In this short online or in-person session we take you through what the changes are and how you need to adapt your thinking and design to accommodate them and provide the most cost effective and practical solutions to meet the regulations.
