One of the barriers to the adoption of heat pumps and other low-carbon, energy-efficient technologies is listed buildings, and the planning restrictions surrounding them. But is all that about to change in 2024? On paper, yes. The UK Government is proposing to relax the need for the English tranche of the estimated 500,000 listed buildings in England and Wales to apply for permission to install heat pumps and photovoltaic (PV) panels. So will listed buildings now be able to install whatever energy-efficient technologies they like? It seems highly unlikely, given the huge quantity of objections to PV panels and heat pumps we currently encounter from planning authorities in historic areas of the country, so more detail is needed.

We discovered something astounding recently, thanks to the thermal modelling of buildings that we carry out day in, day out. In one average detached house in our region, we found that turning down the heating from 21° to 20° would save 21% on the yearly heating bill. Turning it down to 16° would reduce it by a whacking 78%! And that's before you even start to consider the effect of installing energy-efficient technologies like heat pumps and photovoltaic (PV) panels. So, will householders and other building owners be turning down the heating in 2024? It's one of the themes we explore in our 2024 predictions in this short article - why not give it a quick read? https://lnkd.in/d4J-78BX #energy #greenbuilding #buildingdesign #greentechnology #greenenergy

7moYes, they will always be a special consideration. They represent a tiny proportion of the buildings in the Uk. Ground source heat pumps may be solution, but they will have to be considerably over designed to take into account the poor fabric performance. Controls could be easily be hidden.
