Planning smart heat meter installation on unmetered networks

With the deadline to complete the classification of buildings with heat networks now passed, it is important to have a plan in place and be ready for the next deadline of 1st September 2022 to install meters into your unmetered heat networks.

This webinar provides an insight into how to the steps you need to take when approaching your project plan to maximise the benefits that metering your unmetered networks can bring.

We also look at the duty of care owed to residents, which is extremely relevant and important to consider, given the current situation around gas prices. In this webinar we demonstrate
how metering can provide consumption reductions of 40% and over, leading to significant reductions in resident bills.

This webinar will help housing associations and local authorities to understand the key steps they need to take to ensure a successful project whilst always focusing on the resident.

As a quick summary the webinar covered:  

  • The installation of meters across the viable, exempt, and open classes of buildings  
  • What your options are following the decision to install meters 
  • The gas crisis and positive impact metering can have on scheme costs to protect residents
