Heat in Buildings Bill consultation - tell us what you think: easy read

Connecting to heat networks

Heat networks are one of the clean heating systems that people will be able to use to follow the Heat in Buildings Standard.

Heat networks make heat and use a network of pipes to supply it to nearby homes, businesses, and public buildings.

We want the new Bill to have powers to get buildings in a Heat Network Zone to stop using polluting heating by a certain date.

We plan that:

• any buildings in a Heat Network Zone will not need to meet the Heat in Buildings Standard when a property has been bought
• developers must connect new buildings in Heat Network Zones to a heat network
• businesses must give information about heat they are not using
• buildings with unused heat should give it to a local heat network
