The starting point in a stepwise approach will be to address the building fabric. Improving the thermal e ciency of poorly insulated buildings will reduce heat losses and therefore energy demand. The system may also need to be addressed to prepare it for the integration of technologies like heat pumps that operate at low temperatures. Energy e ciency plays a vital role in decarbonisation, so upgrading dated heating and hot water plant upgrades will o er an easy win to carbon savings. The high e ciency, low NOx condensing boilers and water heaters can then be combined with low carbon technologies like heat pumps in hybrid systems at a later date, or when budgets permit, to achieve further improvements in building energy performance. Manufacturer support If we are to meet our climate goals, it’s essential that we engineer to reduce energy-related carbon emissions wherever possible in all our buildings – old and new, residential and commercial. At Baxi Heating, we see both hybrid solutions and multivalent systems as having a significant role to play in providing environmentally and economically sustainable solutions in harder-to-tackle commercial buildings. We understand that full decarbonisation of heat will not happen overnight for many building operators. We understand the challenges they face in solving the future heating and hot water problems today. We understand that it’s about providing the right choices at the right time using the right solutions and technologies. With our legacy in heating and an expanding and continuously evolving product portfolio that reflects our pledge to lead the phase out of carbon-intensive heating, we at Baxi Heating are perfectly placed to advise and support designers, specifiers and contractors, as together we work to set UK buildings on the path to net zero. 21
