Online event brings together leading voices from housing, utilities and heat network sectors on Tuesday 7th July at 10:30am
Leading UK utility infrastructure partner GTC is bringing together leading experts from across the housing, utilities and low-carbon heat sectors for a technical webinar exploring how networked ground source heat pumps (NGSHPs) can help deliver the UK’s transition to low-carbon heating.
The webinar will examine how smart networked ground source heat pump systems are helping to decarbonise new developments while providing an efficient, future-ready alternative to traditional gas networks. It will also explore the practical considerations for developers, housing providers, local authorities and energy professionals looking to deliver sustainable communities.
With increasing pressure on the housing sector to meet net zero targets while delivering reliable, affordable heating solutions, the webinar will provide attendees with practical insights into the latest approaches to low-carbon energy infrastructure.
What attendees will learn:
- Why housebuilders are choosing smart heat networks
- How ground arrays are designed and delivered
- Key considerations for drilling programmes, infrastructure and site delivery
- More about heat pumps, controls and in-home systems
- How passive cooling and how ground source systems can tackle overheating
- SAP, HEM and compliance requirements
- Service, maintenance and long-term operation
