This latest CPD from Ideal Commercial Heating provides engineers with a comprehensive guide to selecting, designing and specifying commercial heat pump and hybrid heating systems, helping them navigate the accelerating shift towards low carbon heat in commercial buildings.
Focusing on the growing importance of heat pumps as the primary route to decarbonising heat, the CPD explores the driving forces behind their adoption, including the UK’s net zero targets, government strategy, and the policy landscape shaping the transition away from fossil fuels.
It also outlines the funding mechanisms available to support low carbon projects, such as the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
The CPD covers essential best practice for system specification, including regulations, design guides and industry standards, helping engineers ensure compliance and optimise system performance.
“As organisations move rapidly towards decarbonisation, the design and specification of commercial heat pump systems is becoming a core skill for modern building services engineers. This new CPD gives professionals the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, optimise system design and confidently navigate the technical and regulatory considerations associated with commercial heat pump installations.”
– Richard Brown, Head of Specification at Ideal Commercial Heating
With insight on policy, funding and best practice, this CPD helps guide you through choosing compliant, future-ready heating solutions that support your journey to net zero. So whether you’re designing for a new build or retrofit, our specification team are here to discuss your commercial heating needs.
