Commercial heating


NEED HUMIDITY CONTROL?


What are the advantages?


District heating is a flexible, tried and tested technology that has been safely and effectively heating homes around the world for more than a century. Having a single heat source, the energy centre, can generate economies


of scale and help the whole system operate more efficiently, in turn reducing carbon emissions. The versatility of heat networks means they are suitable for all building types, from bungalows to high rise flats, businesses and public buildings, regardless of their age or fabric. While they are typically used in high-density built-up areas such as city


centres, they can also heat new build developments and campuses as well as off-gas communities in rural locations. For end users, heat networks can achieve lower energy bills because a central


energy centre can be more efficient than individual boilers in each property. The impact on greenhouse gas emissions can be even more impressive.


Veolia reports that the District Energy heat network that it operates in Sheffield cuts carbon emissions by more than half, and analysis by Devon County Council suggests that a plan to power a new development of 2,500 homes using district heating will reduce carbon emissions by up to 70 per cent.


The outlook


The UK is taking a slightly different approach to district heating than they have on the continent. There, water leaving the central energy centre may be up to 90˚C, whereas the drive in the UK is to have a maximum primary temperature of 70˚C. This gives greater cost and efficiency benefits as a wider range of heat sources


can be used, from heat pumps to energy from waste, recovered geothermal energy and renewable energy. Ideal Heating has developed the POD HIU specifically to suit these systems, which


comes in two models:  POD Indirect is a twin plate appliance to provide complete separation from the heat network for both heating and hot water.  POD Direct is a single plate appliance, enabling heat from the network to directly heat the heating system and indirectly generates instantaneous Domestic Hot Water. All the indirect POD HIUs are BESA registered. The rapid roll out of heat networks brings an exciting proposition on the pathway


to Net Zero. With over 100 years of experience providing high-quality heating solutions, we


are committed to supporting the UK on its drive to Net Zero. We recognise the role we can play in helping to make that journey as easy as possible for contractors and installers, not just from the perspective of the devices we design but also the training we offer to ensure everyone can be upskilled in installation.
