As the UK’s implementation of sustainable and efficient district heating technology continues to lag behind other European nations, a new whitepaper is providing technical advice on district heating pipework to help bridge this gap.
Mainland Europe remains ahead of the curve in adopting heat networks, with Statista highlighting how the technology is used in a quarter of all German new-build homes. By comparison, heat networks facilitate only 2% of the UK’s heat demand despite government targets of 20% by 2050, demonstrating a need for greater urgency and guidance to enable a more effective national rollout.
