Including 8 closely related terms such as heating systems, heating system, and electric heating systems.
… switching towards the use of electric heating systems and electric vehicles – provided that the national electricity grid undergoes significant decarbonisation. Demand reduction measures (energy efficiency and behavioural change in buildings, and reduced use of transportation) have less impact when considered on their own but are crucial prerequisites for successfully switching switch towards…
… significantly reduce emissions from new domestic buildings in the UK.6 Note that future versions of Part L are expected to adopt carbon emission factors for grid electricity that are significantly lower7 than those used in Part L 2013. This change would make it easier to achieve the required level of CO2 savings using electric heating systems, and especially heat pumps, while making it harder to achieve…
… laid out in Section 4. 3.2 Carbon emissions projections The graphs below show historic emissions for the Councils, along with a hypothetical ‘Business as Usual’ trajectory. The other routes to net zero show the cumulative impact of sequentially adopting measures to: 1. Reduce energy demands in buildings; 2. Switch from gas boilers to efficient electric heating systems; 3. Reduce vehicle…
… required to realise their carbon neutral ambition. The recommendations cover the following areas: General actions; Supporting grid decarbonisation; Demand reduction; Low carbon heating systems; Building integrated renewable energy generation and storage; Low carbon transport; Offsetting; and Scope 3 emissions. Consideration is given to measures that would directly impact CO2e emissions from…
… emissions are described below. particularly those related to decarbonising heat, energy and transportation in Adur & Worthing. Although it is not possible to fully capture the wide range of environmental, social, and economic drivers for taking action to address the threat of climate change, these are some of the key drivers that have been used to inform the analysis that underpin this Carbon…
