District Heating Design and Delivery

We offer comprehensive District Heating Network (DHN) and Community Heating engineering advice to ensure compliance with CIBSE/ ADE CP1 2020 and other industry standards.

Our dedicated team brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in DHN and Community Heating systems, guaranteeing that your project not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of efficiency, sustainability, and performance.

• Heat Network Assessments: Our services encompass Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) Surveys, DHN Quality Assurance checks, DHN performance analysis, DHN site audits, optimisation studies, system information & data collection, pre-audit analysis, and technical review reports.
• ESCO Procurement Advice: With a successful track record of managing 11 major ESCo deals, including 20,000 dwellings and 200,000 square meters of commercial space, we offer standalone ESCo procurement advice for new and existing projects.

We support clients from the public, private, and third sectors in applying for grant funding from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero.

Our services include audits on design in progress or existing District Heating and community heating schemes. We conduct Quality Assurance (QA) validation checks on designs and Quality Control (QC) verification checks at handover. Employing a third-party for acceptance testing ensures a trouble-free initial operation of heating systems.

We specialise in resolving disputes related to defects in mechanical and electrical (M&E) and DHN projects. Our approach combines technical expertise with diplomatic solutions and forensic analysis to identify and address the root causes of issues.

We recognise the significant carbon emissions from traditional heating and cooling systems. Our expertise in MEP Engineering allows us to take action to reduce emissions by improving the maintenance and setup of heating and cooling plants. Achieving low-carbon operation and design is a primary focus.

Our team conducts thorough technical reviews of existing systems to identify optimisation measures. We provide a detailed technical report that includes a root cause analysis and benchmarks the system against established Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The report covers both the cost and the impact on carbon emissions of the proposed measures.

The district heating industry is evolving rapidly, and it's essential to stay current with the latest design knowledge. We apply resilient design principles to enhance system redundancy, reduce downtime, and ensure system reliability. Keeping up-to-date with industry developments allows us to offer the correct advice and review consultant designs as a final check.
