To measure and manage the heat network efficiency, the installation of appropriate metering needs to be considered and implemented. Metering needs to be of the right type, installed in the right place and provide accurate, reliable data. And, to be effective, you need an airtight metering strategy.
The green credentials of creating renewable energy for community heating are now well established. But as networks become more established and expand, important economic benefits are feeding through. Add to that the Government funding commitments for at least the next four years, and now really is the time for developers to explore their options.
