Heating accounts for over 35% of the total CO2 emissions for the UK each year. 60% of a buildings CO2 emissions can be attributed to the heating system and 40% for electrical systems. All new homes will be required to be equipped with low-carbon heating and be  zero-carbon ready by 2025. This uplift is the first step in achieving the Future Homes Standard and can only be achieved by the integration of heat pumps and Solar PV systems.

 

Understanding these changes and how to use them to your advantage is the challenge.
