Once the model has fulfilled its role in demonstrating compliance with Building Regulations and securing planning permission, it is rarely revisited.

Talking heat policy and hybrid heat pumps on a cold day with @Baxiboilers Jeff House, and @energygovuk Laura Brassell (hybrid heat pump policy lead at DEZNS) https://t.co/oXyyWSZNHC
Why certifying design rather than actual performance good for energy efficiency in buildings. As demonstrated by BBP’s Rob MacWhannell - the slide shows similar energy performance whatever the building's EPC rating #NABERSUK #Build2Perform https://t.co/YIdEtzLGHC
Since study there are more low GWP refrigerants available but system efficiency must be taken into account. Summary - minimise refrigerant volume, reduce leakage rates, gather data, specify low GWP. 2/2 #build2perform
