This event is exclusive to BRC Members.
This online session, designed for retail and commercial property professionals, will guide attendees through the decarbonisation landscape and highlight the key considerations and decision points when selecting and implementing different types of heat pump solutions.
This 30-minute presentation walks participants through the “decision tree” of heat pump options, explaining different types, their applications, and the knowledge required to make informed choices, with an aim to strike the “Goldilocks zone” between technical depth and accessibility - this ensures all participants gain practical insights without being overwhelmed by complexity.
Following the presentation, a chaired discussion will allow for audience engagement, Q&A, and exploration of real-world solutions. Attendees can expect actionable takeaways and a clear understanding of potential next steps in decarbonising their buildings, with the opportunity for a more detailed, in-person workshop to follow later in the year.
