The Status Of Heat Pumps For DHW

Set to achieve the ambition of demanding zero emission buildings, and with the consultation period now complete, under the 2025 Future Building Standard the expectation is that new buildings will no longer receive gas connections. In a move from the current five building types there will also be simplification to just two, sheds with direct electric heating and point of use, whilst all the remainder are set to be heat pump only. This is not only set to usher in an all-electric future by 2026 but also cements the important role that heat pumps are to play in making it a reality.
