Energy performance of Scottish public buildings and its impact on their ability to use low-temperature heat (2023)
Journal Article
Reguis, A., Tunzi, M., Vand, B., Tuohy, P., & Currie, J. (2023). Energy performance of Scottish public buildings and its impact on their ability to use low-temperature heat. Energy and Buildings, 290, Article 113064. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2023.113064

Decarbonising heat in the UK by 2050 will require the wider adoption of low-temperature heat. Current systems, largely relying on gas boilers, have design operating temperatures of 82/71°C (supply/return) while new standards for 4th Generation Distri...
