The final article in our series looks at how to prepare for heat network regulation. With authorisation conditions active from 27 January 2026, the countdown is on to prepare for a regulated market. If you have any concerns about how regulation may impact you, please get in touch with our Energy and Sustainability team.

Concerned about the upcoming heat network regulations? New heat network regulations are on the horizon, there’s no escaping it. Whilst we can’t guarantee the specifics of these regulations, we understand what you need to do as the owner or manager of a heat network. From assessing the current status of your network to then starting to plan how to address performance issues within your network and how you will fund this, there are things that you can do now. In our latest blog, we break down 5 steps you can take to prepare for the regulations. Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/eZ6dk2qf #HeatNetworks #Regulations2025 #EnergyCompliance #CommunalEnergy

With a rich history spanning over a century, Armstrong International has been a trusted name in solving and preventing thermal utility problems. Here is a testimony to this. In 1931, Nation’s Business Magazine published a piece that highlighted Armstrong's visionary approach. When Armstrong invented the Inverted bucket steam trap a century ago, they had a clear vision to save energy, money, and carbon emissions. This foresight continues to guide our innovations today. It's truly inspiring to read from a 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, making a significant impact on energy conservation and environmental sustainability. Armstrong International has always been at the forefront of innovation, developing new products and solutions that help customers minimize energy usage, optimize thermal systems to ensure maximum efficiency of energy use, and decarbonize energy generation. Where Armstrong can help you with Decarbonization solutions, • Comprehensive Thermal Utilities studies and mapping https://lnkd.in/gM3WuwXu • Improving efficiency of steam and condensate systems for high-grade heat. Armstrong offers leading-edge technology, software, equipment, and services for best-in-class trap management. https://lnkd.in/g-gNyMd9 • De-steaming of low-grade heat by replacing steam with hot water for set points below 185°F/85°C. https://lnkd.in/gQ8eV6A2 • De-steaming of humidification by replacing steam humidifiers with EvaPack™ adiabatic humidification. https://lnkd.in/giKY5yz5 • Partial electrification of low-grade heat using industrial high-temperature heat pump (248°F/120°C) packages. https://lnkd.in/gFT7rFgV • Custom-engineered heavy-duty finned tube heat exchangers and packages for waste/process heat recovery. https://lnkd.in/gQ3us3sZ #Sustainability #Decarbonization

Clean heat standards could be transformative to both the natural gas and electric industries if there is widespread implementation and adoption of standards. Coordination across all stakeholders will enable significant progress in this transition.

Interesting progress in thermal technology and building optimisation: Thermal energy networks have the potential to significantly reduce buildings’ water consumption, saving millions of gallons every year, compared with conventional heating and evaporative cooling systems https://lnkd.in/ejNtFgdZ #smartcity #smartbuilding #thermaltech

Thermal energy networks have the potential to significantly reduce buildings’ water consumption, saving millions of gallons every year, compared with conventional heating and evaporative cooling systems, according to a report from the Building Decarbonization Coalition.

#IndustrialWaterCooling hosted a webinar where our very own Dr Hanno Reuter presented his thoughts on harnessing recoverable energy - the cleanest and least-cost opportunity for dispatchable power generation. In this discussion, Hanno broke down the comparison between dry-cooling (Air Cooled Condensers) and wet-cooling towers with the same boiler design, fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. ACCs: - Essentially consume no water compared to 1.5 to 2.5 litres per kWhe for wet cooling towers. Learn more about IWC Air Cooled Condensers; https://lnkd.in/g6XqZibx

45 Millions tonnes. That’s the sum of CO2 Europe would emit more without the use of heat pumps right now – the European Heat Pump Association released these impressive numbers during the European Heat Pump Forum last month. Thankfull, heat pumps are making a massive impact on Europe's energy future. With 24 million units installed, heat pumps are helping the continent avoid a staggering 5.5 billion cubic metres of gas each year—equal to 1.6% of the EU’s total annual gas consumption. To keep this momentum, continued investment in heat pump technology and supportive policies is essential. #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #HeatPumps #ClimateAction #CO2Reduction
