TAKING THE HEAT OFF BOILER LEGISLATION
BMJ looks at how Boiler Plus Legislation is influencing the industry.
“Boiler Plus legislation is at the forefront of current trends.” says Jeff House, Head of External Affairs at biler maker Baxi. “Under Boiler Plus, combi boiler installations must include one of the following options: weather compensation, load compensation, flue gas heat recovery or smart control with automation and optimisation functions.
