Ambient loop networks are increasingly common in the UK. Here at Guru Systems we’re seeing more and more of this type of heat network at design stage, in construction and in operation.

Ofgem will begin regulating our industry within the next two years, and there will be a greater focus on how heat networks perform than ever before – including ambient loop networks.

On 5 October 2023, Guru Systems team members Georgina Orso (Head of Marketing) and Gary Banham (Sales Director) delivered the below webinar which:

1. Recapped the difference between fourth generation heat networks and ambient loop heat networks

2. Discussed how ambient loop networks fit in the changing regulatory landscape including:

• The Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations
• Upcoming regulation by Ofgem

3. Explained how metering and monitoring works on ambient loop networks, and how it’s different to fourth generation heat networks

4. Discussed performance monitoring of ambient loop networks, including monitoring the efficiency of in-dwelling heat pumps in operation

The world of heat networks is changing dramatically. Ofgem will begin regulating our industry within the next two years, and there will be a greater focus on how heat networks perform than ever before. There will also be a requirement to submit performance data annually.

These regulations aren’t just about capturing performance data only to make a submission for compliance, they are about digitalising to genuinely monitor performance, and to take action to improve where needed.

On 7 September 2023, Casey Cole, CEO at Guru Systems delivered the below webinar which:

• Summarised what we know so far about upcoming regulation by Ofgem, including the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme
• Explored what is expected to be required when it comes to performance reporting to Ofgem and show example real-world data
• Discussed how heat network operators can improve the performance of their heat networks before Ofgem formally takes over in order to minimise the risk of non-compliance

The world of heat networks is changing dramatically. Ofgem will begin regulating our industry within the next two years, and this means a big shift for everybody who’s involved with the process of designing, installing, commissioning, and operating heat networks.

On 25 July 2023, Casey Cole, CEO at Guru Systems delivered the below webinar which:

1. Summarised what we know so far about upcoming regulation by Ofgem, including the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme

2. Discussed how changes are likely to affect:

• Heat network designers
• Contractors installing and commissioning heat networks
• Heat network operators

3. Explored how technology can help you to prepare, including:

• New heat networks, including networks already in design or development
• Heat networks with meters already installed to comply with the Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations
• Heat networks that don’t yet have meters installed
