A coalition of heating industry bodies with particular interest in low carbon heating systems has published two consultations on qualification criteria for low carbon heating system training courses.

The first consultation is for the criteria that should apply to training courses for all forms of low temperature heating systems – both to allow a future market transformation into systems such as heat pumps, but also to ensure the most efficient performance is obtained for modern gas condensing boilers.

The second consultation is for the specific criteria that should apply to training courses specifically for heat pumps – which operate at greater efficiencies when able to heat customers’ homes at lower system operating temperatures.

Installers are invited to take part in both consultations:

The Low Temperature Heating Systems draft criteria and link to the consultation questions can be found here.

The Heat Pumps draft criteria and link to the consultation questions can be found here.

Both consultations close on 30 June 2020.
