District Energy offers many other benefits making this an energy source that exceeds the performance of others in a multitude of ways. So what are the benefits associated with a connection to the District Energy Network?

Economy and efficiency

Reduced costs
Savings can be made on connection, operation and maintenance costs. Businesses can also avoid the Climate Change Levy.

Space saving
The equipment used to transfer the heat from the network takes up less than one quarter of the space of a conventional boiler plant, allowing valuable space to be put to other uses.

High efficiency
More useful energy is produced with less fuel input because the heat exchanger equipment is
more efficient.

Service and reliability

Reliability
Skilled engineers monitor the network 24 hours a day. Backup heat supplies can be introduced via hi-tech control systems at a moment’s notice.

Service
Experienced Service Engineers are on call 24 hours a day for assistance.

Safety and control
Harmful emissions are not produced by the heat exchanger so a flue or chimney is not required. The heat exchanger can be linked to a variety of control systems allowing individual management.

Environmental savings

Cleaner environment
Connected buildings contribute an improved local air quality.

Conservation
When a connection to the District Energy Network is made, a building no longer uses fossil fuel to provide heating so precious resources are being conserved.

Low carbon
Gas fired heating produces 0.194 kg CO₂ per kWh of energy. District Energy produces only 0.0505 kg per kWh. This low carbon footprint is a fantastic benefit when developers are seeking to satisfy Part L of the Building Regulations and for a BREEAM assessment.
