Controlling costs and reducing fuel poverty on communal heating schemes – New Switch2 webinar series

Written by Lucy Glynn | 05-Oct-2022 10:02:35

In the current economic climate, controlling costs and mitigating fuel poverty has never been more important for housing associations, local authorities or private developers with heat networks.

Heat networks are complex and do not operate like standard heating systems. Heat networks must be optimised, using data and targeted interventions, to improve efficiency. Increasing the efficiency of a heat network can help to bring down costs for both the operator and the resident, which, at a time when the price of energy is so high, should be a priority for heat network operators.


In this latest webinar series, which commences on Wednesday 19th October, we’ll be joined by a host of guest speakers who will provide attendees with information about:

  • Why you need a strategy for improving heat network performance and what considerations should be made
  • The paybacks and where cost savings can be made
  • How you can get started – contractual best practice when employing an operations and maintenance provider
  • How improvements to heat networks can be funded
