This sub-category is for sharing strategies, projects, and case studies on reducing the carbon impact of heating in research environments. Topics may include:
-
Heat pumps (air, ground, and water source)
-
District heating and shared energy systems
-
Electrification of heating and phase-out of gas
-
Heat recovery from labs, equipment, and data centres
-
Policy, funding, and business cases for heat decarbonisation
This complements Renewable Energy & Efficiency (estate-wide energy) and Facilities Optimisation (smart systems). Here the emphasis is on decarbonising heat as a core part of net zero pathways.
