Cost-Effective and Cost-Neutral measures such as high efficiency combination boilers, insulation (wall, loft and floor) and thermostatic controls all reduce emissions significantly; there is however, a natural intrinsic emissions ‘floor’ to domestic heating without significant evolution…
…% of domestic stock in Edinburgh was built before 1950 and 1985 respectively, inhibiting EPC recommendations for upgrades that could limit emissions attributable to heating provisions. For example, far less than half of domestic properties in Edinburgh can be applied effectively with cavity- wall, loft or floor insulation forms; 59.70% of properties currently have no wall insulation…
… generation networks run at a temperature close to ambient ground temperature). This should not compromise the ability of the system to run at the optimal temperature for the energy source used at the outset. 4.25 Heat networks based on natural gas CHP systems should be supplemented by heat from renewable sources wherever feasible. Integrating heat pumps into district heating can deliver large CO2…
… (but are not limited to): • ground, air and water source heat pumps, • solar photovoltaic (electricity), • solar thermal (heat), • small scale wind turbines, • standalone wind turbines, • biomass power and heat, • small scale hydro power, • geothermal energy, • micro CHP, and • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. 4.30 Where the minimum 20 per cent carbon reduction required under Policy D2 (9) is achieved…
… the new “Future Homes” standard is fully 16 implemented7, and expects the supply chain for these technologies to develop rapidly in the next few years. When appraising heat pump technologies, at least two heat sources (from air, water and ground) should be considered and a separate appraisal of each presented. 4.35 Appraisals of heat pumps should take account of the high efficiencies…
… services for space heating/cooling and hot-water systems, ventilation and internal lighting). Unregulated emissions are those arising from energy use other than for building services, such as appliances, cooking and IT equipment. 2.5 The energy and waste hierarchies (see Figure 1) set out the steps that should be followed to make development more sustainable. The key principle in both hierarchies…
… adequate consideration to heat distribution networks as the primary source of energy. The energy statement for such developments will therefore need to include an appraisal that either sets out that a heat network will provide the primary source of energy for the development or clear evidence that it is not feasible and/or that an alternative would be more sustainable. 4.16 Where a heat…
