CIBSE’s guide to biomass heating (AM15) is available as a free download to members and non-members of the institution. It is also available as a optimised edition for Android and Applet tablets through the CIBSE app.

The emerging biomass industry has been hampered by the lack of specialised expertise and technical guidance. This guide is designed to tackle these risks and poor performance by providing detailed guidance on the fundamental engineering principles and practices necessary to design, install and operate safe, effective and economic biomass systems.

It covers biomass boilers with outputs from 50 kW to 5 MW burning wood chips or wood pellets.
