Heat Decarbonisation Plans
Explore our range of services designed to help you move forward with confidence, wherever you're headed next.
Reducing the carbon emissions of existing buildings requires more than simply replacing gas boilers with heat pumps. A successful heat decarbonisation plan needs to consider the building fabric, existing services, energy consumption, operational constraints, capital cost, lifecycle performance and long-term carbon impact. At Jupiter Engineering, we develop practical, evidence-based heat decarbonisation plans that help clients understand the most effective route to lower-carbon heating and improved building performance.
We appraise the most appropriate measures for the building and its operational needs, rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on the site, this may include air source heat pumps, water source heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage, controls optimisation, hot water strategy improvements, emitter upgrades, insulation measures and phased plant replacement.
Our recommendations are based on technical feasibility, carbon reduction potential, capital cost, operational impact and long-term performance. This allows clients to compare options clearly and understand the benefits and trade-offs of each approach.
Jupiter Engineering combines practical M&E design expertise with a strong focus on decarbonisation and building performance. Our experience across heat pump projects, low-carbon retrofit schemes and public-sector decarbonisation programmes allows us to produce studies that are both strategic and deliverable.
We do not see decarbonisation as a box-ticking exercise. Our aim is to help clients understand what will work in practice, what the likely constraints are, and what the most sensible route forward looks like for their building or estate.
