Funded heat network training launched

Heat Networks are set to play an important role in the UK's transition to Net Zero, with plans to increase their share of the heat market from under 3% today to 20% by 2050. To help installers, facilities managers (FMs), specifiers and others in building services and related sectors, understand and take advantage of this growing marketplace, GTEC, part of the United Living Group, has launched a fully funded online ‘Introduction to Heat Networks' course.

Covering the design and feasibility of heat networks for various applications, funding has been awarded by the Department of Energy, Sustainability & Net Zero, as part of its drive to push this market forward. Next year (2025) the government is launching ‘Heat Network Zoning', which will empower local communities to accelerate the development of district heating schemes in their area.

About the course:

Providing an introduction to heat networks for anyone interested in this technology and its applications, such as specifiers, building services engineers working with heat pumps and/or on large-scale projects, professionals in both commercial and residential sectors will benefit from the 15-minute, free introductory course which can be accessed remotely and contributes towards CPD points.

Griff Thomas, MD for GTEC, said: 'With much potential to decarbonise built-up environments, the Government sees heat networks as an important growth area for the UK, sustaining jobs, boosting the economy and helping urban and out of town commercial developments move away from fossil fuels. Our new course will provide those with an interest in district heating with the background information to make informed decisions, equipping candidates with the fundamentals of this approach to multi-building heating: whether they're designing, installing or managing heat networks in the future.

'In the coming year, GTEC will be diversifying into more areas of the building services and supporting sectors, expanding our offering across the construction space to meet the demands of a fast-paced and evolving market as the UK heads towards Net Zero.'
