The event, sponsored by CIBSE Patrons, will be attended by CIBSE CHP & District Heating Group chair, Phil Jones, who will be joined by Tim Rotheray, CEO of the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE), Paul Woods, of Cofely author of the Code and representatives from the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC). It will be followed by a tour of Pimlico District Heating Undertaking. Increasingly, district heating networks are seen as key to delivering a low-carbon energy economy. However, if heat networks are to form a significant part of the UKs future energy infrastructure, they need to be designed, built and operated to a high standard to deliver customer satisfaction. The new code produced by CIBSE in collaboration with the ADE and DECC aims to help the industry achieve that goal by raising standards across the supply chain. It covers all forms of district heating, from communal buildings to large, city-wide schemes, and is designed to apply to both new networks and extensions of existing networks.
