This lady has been lying with a badly injured shoulder on an isolated footpath for an hour in Fen Ditton. Can she be prioritised? @EastAngilaAmb The Good Samaritans with her have already rung 999.
Talking heat policy and hybrid heat pumps on a cold day with @Baxiboilers Jeff House, and @energygovuk Laura Brassell (hybrid heat pump policy lead at DEZNS)
Why certifying design rather than actual performance good for energy efficiency in buildings. As demonstrated by BBP’s Rob MacWhannell - the slide shows similar energy performance whatever the building's EPC rating #NABERSUK#Build2Perform
Since study there are more low GWP refrigerants available but system efficiency must be taken into account. Summary - minimise refrigerant volume, reduce leakage rates, gather data, specify low GWP.

Claire Brierley shares @hoarelea comparison study on whole life carbon of MEP systems in offices. Refrigerant has big impact on embodied carbon. Original study here

In the opening keynote at CIBSE #Build2Perform President-elect Vince Arnold says building services engineers have a unique opportunity to shape buildings and communities, and the urban enviroments in which they exist. @CIBSE
5 years after signing net zero into law @CSkidmoreUK says Conservative approach is hugely damaging because of move to new oil/gas licences and jettisoning of world leading position on net zero. ‘It makes me angry this has been thrown away as part of a culture war’ @InstallerSHOW
Heat network policy session first up at @FutureBuildNow John Allison (left) DESNZ: ‘Heat Network Zoning provides confidence that heat networks are the right solution for selected urban areas. It doesn’t mean heat networks won’t be most effective solution outside heat zones’
.@FutureBuildNow as busy as ever. Managed to get in a quick game of golf on @CIBSE stand before first session on heat networks. All balls with 19 seconds left if anyone is competing.
Future Homes and Buildings Standards consultation states that fossil-fuel boilers won't be allowed in new homes including hybrid boilers and hydrogen-ready boilers. https://t.co/12X1DWrKXC
Podcast: tackling whole-life carbon in air conditioning: This @CIBSEJournal podcast sponsored by Daikin, discusses the challenges of decarbonising cooling across a building’s lifetime with 4 experts discussing how to reduce operational and embodied carbon https://t.co/Nk1HDDUBQR
Perfecting #Passivhaus - in @CIBSEJournal's recent article, our Passivhaus Leader @GwilymStill chronicles the development of the challenging #energy & comfort standard at our Practice, and explains why it's integral to our #netzero#carbon strategy:
