Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards
Non-domestic private rented properties are required to meet a minimum threshold when it comes to energy efficiency. This is regulated in the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards which were enforced in the Energy Act in 2011. We have put together some information on this for you.
Energy legislation
Over the last few years, the government has introduced legislation to achieve carbon savings targets. Do you know which legislation exists? Have a look at this page to learn about it and what's behind the acronyms.
Load matching in multiple boiler installations
The use of several small boilers compared to one big boiler can make your heating system a lot more efficient. How it works - learn more about the benefits of large turndown ratios and improved system efficiencies.
Energy Technology List
You can benefit from tax deductions if you decide to invest in energy saving heating equipment. The Energy Technology List tells you which products are eligible. Learn more about it and which products are eligible for Enhanced Capital Allowances.
ErP-compliant cast iron boiler
Think the Energy-related Products Directive saw the end of cast iron boilers? Our cast iron boilers changed this, they can not only condense but are also ErP compliant. Find out how we've achieved this.
Open vented heating systems compared with sealed systems
Open vented boiler systems have been traditionally used. In modern times, sealed heating systems are the favourite choice. We look at differences between both and how to deal with them when refurbishing your heating system.
Modular boilers load matching in heat networks
How do you design a heat network to efficiently match peak and low heat loads? Find out how to create a high boiler turndown ratio for your modular boiler system
Modular boilers for heat networks
Modular boilers are a compact and flexible solution. In heat networks, they can provide an excellent back up and top up solution to support other equipment such as CHP. Learn more about why modular boilers are being used in district heating schemes.
Low loss headers explained
Why should you use a low loss header in your commercial heating system? We explain how it works and what benefits it can have for your heating system.
What are district heating networks
One of the Government's carbon-saving initiatives is the use of heat networks. What do they consist of and what benefits do they have?
