… statement. *(C)CHP refers to both combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) and combined heating and power (CHP). 2.4 Zero carbon, for the purposes of the policy and this SPD, means that all regulated emissions are eliminated or offset. Regulated emissions are those emissions from buildings that are regulated under Part L of the Building Regulations (emissions from the energy consumed by building…

…. Where Policy D2 refers to heat distribution networks, it covers a broad range of scales from small scale systems that distribute cooling and/or heating to a number of dwellings or units within one building up to district scale systems that serve entire neighbourhoods (district heating systems). The investigation of opportunities should cover all scales and should not be limited to district…

… heating systems. 4 Heat Priority Areas have been established through the Guildford Renewable Energy Mapping Study available at https://www.guildford.gov.uk/article/22866/Guildford-Renewable-Energy-Mapping-Study https://www.guildford.gov.uk/article/22866/Guildford-Renewable-Energy-Mapping-Study 13 4.12 Where such networks exist and developments propose to connect to them…

… to an existing network that is within the vicinity, it must still be connection-ready and the energy statement must set out how this is the case. Developments will be considered to be connection-ready if they use a centralised communal wet heating system and comply with the minimum requirements outlined in the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Heat Networks Code of Practice…

… emissions reductions6. 4.26 CHP heat networks run at higher temperatures than heat networks powered by renewable heat technologies and can present an overheating risk for the building in which it is installed. Overheating is a key consideration in climate change adaptation. Heat networks should be designed to prevent overheating, including through the choice of heat technology. Significant sources…
