September is upon us and with it, the promise of a chilly autumn; which means we need to be ready to tackle the next heat season. With major reports from leading charities for both the elderly and children, fuel poverty is an important topic that must be addressed. Read on to see how more effective community heat metering can alleviate the issue.
A community heating scheme can bring enormous benefits to residents and the environment, but for the best results heat consumers need to be well informed, and shown how to get the best out of the system.Our blog looks at key topics to successful resident engagement.
In an article written for Energy Management magazine, Ian Allan, Head of R&D for community heating specialist Switch2 Energy, explains the latest legislative changes affecting the UK's communal energy and district heating schemes and what they mean for heat suppliers.
With plans to increase the number of heat networks in the UK, questions are being asked whether existing customers are coping and if any lessons have been learned. Locked in with a heat supplier for a fixed term, customers often complain about the cost of bills and if they are getting value for money. Setting the right heat tariff is paramount. So, it’s worth exploring the options available before deciding on the best one for you and your customers.
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.
Selecting the right Heat Interface Unit (HIU) for a heating scheme can be a complex decision to make, with many different variants to take into consideration. Our blog investigates the staywarm feature on a HIU and how it could potentially improve the heating service - if done correctly.
