Heat Engineer Software has secured a significant investment from Greenarc Limited. This strategic partnership will see both companies join forces to revolutionise the heating industry.
Read moreThe UK Government’s £15bn Warm Homes Plan signals strong ongoing support for heat pumps, energy efficiency and low-carbon heating. With ECO4 extended to December 2026, installers gain clarity and breathing space — but successful delivery will depend on clear funding routes, consistent rules and high-quality installations.
Read moreWhen it comes to installing oil-fired heating systems — such as kerosene boilers — one of the most important design considerations is accurately calculating the property’s heat loss.
Read moreRich Cartwright’s Newcastle training session explored how accurate property data, ventilation, air permeability and calculation methodology shape reliable heat loss assessments.
Read moreA common source of confusion in heat loss calculations is why the sum of room heat losses exceeds the total building heat loss. This article explains how EN 12831-1:2017 intentionally applies worst-case assumptions at room level, while reducing ventilation losses at building level to avoid double counting internally retained heat.
