CLG code acknowledges heat-pump benefits
A
Dimplex UK product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team
Jul 30, 2008
Dimplex has welcomed the publication of an amendment to the technical guidance on the Code for Sustainable Homes by the Department of Communities and Local Government.
The publication recognised the energy efficiency and carbon saving benefits of heat pumps.
CLG has acknowledged that the April 2008 document contained 'a number of references which inadvertently suggested that changes had been made in the Code relating to compliance with the energy performance requirement'.
In fact, there is no change from the guidance of October 2007 in the way that air-source heat pumps can be used as part of a solution for sections Ene 1 (DER calculation) and Ene 7 (calculation for additional low-zero carbon credits).
Plus, there is not currently (and never has been) any requirement in the Code to justify the choice of fuel specified.
