B&ES revises guidance to heat metering

B&ES Publications has revised its ‘Guide to good practice: heat metering for the RHI’ to reflect changes in the scheme and incorporate some of the lessons learned. The introduction to this revised technical guide warns that the lack of fiscal heat-metering experience among specifiers, installers and operators in the UK means that care must be taken to ensure all of the factors affecting heat-meter accuracy are fully addressed to avoid the risk of not delivering reliable data and the loss of entitlement to RHI pay-outs.

This guide provides easy-to-read tips in 10 chapters, with a clear index to enable readers to dip into its pages for specific types of information. It covers the design, specification, installation, commissioning and operation of heat meters, as well as data collection, inspecting and auditing.

Six case studies give real-world insights into the installation of biomass boilers, ground-source heat pumps and solar thermal.
