Guidance on district energy
The UK District Energy Association is planning to crystallise its expertise on district energy into a number of guides that will become available over the next year. The first will be the core ‘Guide to district energy in the UK’, which will feature case studies, route maps and example energy-services agreements to be published in late 2012.
There will follow a technical-delivery guide to clarify the key technical issues with the delivery of district-energy schemes and therefore remove many of the common faults of schemes that are not delivered by industry experts.
There will also be a customer charter for residential schemes to set a standard that can be used for such schemes across the UK.
Following completion of these guides, the UKDEA will take a leading role in developing an accreditation system for district-energy schemes in the UK.
