Experience
CIBSE Certified Heat Network Consultants who put the clients needs first.
We understand how heat networks are designed, installed, commissioned and how they should be operated and maintained to maximise efficiency.

We are comfortable with all technical aspects of heat networks including plant rooms, metering / billing regulations and modern BMS control methods including cloud based optimisation.

We understand the contract process and have extensive experience working with Clients, Consulting Engineers and Contractors. We are happy to look at ‘trouble shooting’ problematic projects including bringing all stakeholders together to achieve the objective.

Our Technical Director Alistair Moore is an active member of CIBSE West Midlands Committee with an emphasis on training.

Decarbonisation Advice

Integrating decarbonisation solutions into new and legacy heat networks requires a full understanding of the BMS controls philosophy for the project. Decarbonisation solutions should be the default energy supplier to your heat network. We understand how to integrate these products effectively into your project.
