The Scottish Government has set ambitious targets for achieving Net Zero, a key part of which is transitioning to clean heating for buildings. Air source heat pumps will play a large part in this. As around 19% of buildings in Scotland are of traditional construction, understanding how buildings of this type can utilise clean heating solutions such as air source heat pumps is critical to meeting Government Targets.
This event will launch new information commissioned by HES on the use of air source heat pumps in traditional buildings.
Presentations will be given by the authors of this new information around installing air source heat pumps into traditional buildings alongside HES experts looking at the wider net zero context and considerations related to consents and planning.
We will be delivering the sessions both in person at the Engine Shed in Stirling and online.
Delegates attending online – the session will be delivered on MS Teams 365. The joining link will be sent to you the week before the event. To avoid disappointment, please check your organisation’s administrative restrictions allow you to receive the joining link from us and to attend online using MS Teams 365. The event will not be recorded.
