As one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions, heating is firmly in the UK government’s agenda as it strives to achieve a target of Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Industry experts know that this is a colossal task, and that we will have to embrace all products and technologies with carbon cutting credentials, if we are to have any hope of reaching this ambitious goal.
As a low carbon heating extravaganza, the Building Services Forum will seek to smooth this process by offering an equal platform to experts in the sector to showcase their innovations.

Ideal Heating launches heat pump production line as part of £60m low carbon drive
Finance, visited Ideal Heating’s Hull factory to mark the start of heat pump production by the company in the UK.
The new heat pump production line forms part of a £60m investment programme at the Hull site, which includes an expanded distribution hub, a research and development centre to pioneer the heating technologies of the future, and a heat pump manufacturing facility.
Ideal Heating has also invested more than £2m in its flagship training centre – one
Ideal Heating has launched its first UK heat pump production line as part of an investment in low carbon technologies. Ideal Heating has been manufacturing many of the country’s best-selling boilers for over a century at its headquarters in Hull. Now the business is undergoing a major transformation as it engineers the green heating solutions to support the UK’s drive to net zero. Lord Callanan, Minister for Energy Efficiency and Green
of the heating industry’s largest and best-equipped training facilities and where up to 5,000 installers every year can gain the skills to install and service heat pumps. Shaun Edwards, chief executive of Groupe Atlantic UK, Republic of Ireland and North America, said: “The transition to low carbon heating solutions including heat pumps is the biggest transformation in the business since we moved from coal to gas-fired boilers in the 1930s. “The major investments we’re making at our Hull site send
out a very clear signal about our commitment to the net zero transition and to re-modelling our business to meet the needs of our customers today and into the future. “For decades the name Ideal has been associated with boilers and other market-leading heating products. With the start of heat pump production and the many other investments we’re making, we’re now pushing strongly forward with renewable technologies that will play an ever-growing role in heating the UK’s homes and commercial premises.” Ideal Heating’s transition to renewable heating solutions will play a key role in the UK’s green industrial revolution. A huge decarbonisation of housing stock must take place for the UK to achieve net zero status by 2050, as homes account for more than a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. Lord Callanan’s visit to the National Avenue site in Hull marked the start of heat pump production on the site. He also officially opened Ideal Heating’s £2.2m National Training and Technology Centre in Hessle, on the outskirts of Hull. Developments at the two sites represent an investment of tens of millions of pounds by Ideal Heating in UK manufacturing, innovation, research and development, and training.
On his arrival at the training facility, Lord Callanan
addressed Ideal Heating staff and said: “Ideal Heating is by far the most advanced of the traditional gas boiler manufacturers and it’s great to see all the developments that are taking place in terms of manufacturing, production and training.
“Everyone at Ideal Heating is doing a fantastic job, so I’d like to say well done and keep it up.”
