They will be discussing the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (UKNZCBS) and its impact on HVAC systems.
HVAC systems play a major role in decarbonising the built environment. How will the UKNZCBS limits on energy consumption, embodied Carbon and refrigerant GWP affect their design now and in the future?
We will present the reasons why decarbonisation is happening and show the pace and scale of change required to stay on track with the UK’s legally binding Carbon budgets .
We will present an overview of the newly launched UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard and explain the metrics and limits it is using to measure and validate how a Net Zero building should perform.
Areas where HVAC systems will significantly impact a building’s ability to meet these new limits such as operational energy usage and up front embodied Carbon will be highlighted and their impacts on design and performance discussed.
