Both base layers are made from elasticated fabric to allow unrestricted movement, are machine washable and have a simple switch on/off button that is easily accessible at the front. The key difference between the two products is the style – the DCX200
ACT NOW TO SECURE FUNDING FOR LOW- CARBON HEAT NETWORK
PROJECTS, SAYS CARRIER Carrier is urging building owners and operators to apply for UK government grants to commercialise and construct new low- and zero-carbon heat networks before the funding application deadline expires. Carrier is part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

low- and zero-carbon heat and cooling networks. The popularity of the initial £288m fund has meant more funding is available and can be drawn down in fiscal years 2023/24 through 2026/27.
After six rounds of applications, there are five more opportunities to apply with the next round closing 23rd February 2024.
“Heat networks will be vital for helping the UK reach net zero,” said Oliver Sanders, Commercial HVAC Director, United Kingdom & Ireland, Carrier. “Adopting heat pumps in these networks will provide highly efficient methods of heating and cooling to reduce carbon emissions.”

decarbonising heat and will play substantial roles in achieving net zero targets. It says deploying at least 600,000 hydronic heat pumps per year to replace fossil fuel boilers by 2028 can keep the UK on track to get to net zero.
“When you consider that only 55,000 hydronic heat pumps were sold in the UK in 2021, there is work to do in order to reach the 600,000 per year target,” said Sanders. “The GHNF provides an excellent opportunity to make up the deficit so the UK can benefit from energy-efficient district heating and lower carbon emissions. With the next round of government funding closing February 2024, we are urging organisations to submit their application and tap into this £288m before it expires."
