Including 8 closely related terms such as heating systems, heating system, and electric heating systems.
… from 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…
… AECOM Prepared for: Wealden District Council 9 pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5º Celsius.’6 Some of the key documents are outlined below, particularly those related to decarbonising heat, energy and transportation within the UK. These do not fully capture the wide range of environmental, social, and economic…
… the combustion of fuels such as gas, oil, petrol, diesel, coal, or wood. This primarily includes fuel used in homes and other buildings to provide heating and hot water, and petrol or diesel used in vehicles. Metered gas data (for buildings where the Council pays the gas bills) Mileage for the Council- owned vehicle fleet and pool cars, along with vehicle make and model…
… (electricity) • Reducing demand for fuel in buildings and transport (e.g. insulating existing buildings and reducing the number of journeys travelled) • Switching from fossil fuel heating to electric forms such as heat pumps • Switching to zero emission vehicles • Emission offsetting investments such as solar Photovoltaic (PV) farms or sequestration through planting new woodland Wealden…
… towards the use of electric heating and vehicles. For instance, energy efficiency improvements in buildings enable systems such as heat pumps to work at a higher level of efficiency. Similarly, a large-scale shift to the use of electric vehicles must also be accompanied by a significant modal shift towards walking, cycling, ridesharing, and an increase in the use of public transport to deliver…
