🎉It's hard to believe a year has already passed since I joined FairHeat as a Project Manager on the Delivery team! Working on uDHN projects and HIU retrofits has been a new and exciting journey for me. The projects have been both educating and interesting, offering me a unique learning experience every step of the way.   One of the standout aspects of FairHeat is its incredible work ethic. Everyone here is made to feel involved, appreciated, and heard, which creates a supportive and collaborative environment. A huge shoutout to my amazing colleagues on the Delivery team Benjamin Charlwood, Joel Applebee, Mark Harrington, Niall Dixon-Payne, Chloe Jenner and Declan Murphy CEng MIMechE - working with you all has been a pleasure. Special mention to Neil Mason whose guidance and support have been truly inspiring. Neil has helped me develop my confidence and expertise within the heating sector, ensuring that I can deliver my work to the highest standards.   Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with colleagues from various departments at FairHeat. Their depth of knowledge and willingness to share insights has been invaluable. Shout out to Mark Reynolds, Peter Horne and Andrew Reynolds – your support and guidance has made a significant impact on me.   I'm excited about what the future holds and look forward to more years of growth and progression at FairHeat!

🌟 At FairHeat, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered. This Pride Month, we were proud to see Ethan St. Catherine, Graduate Engineer at FairHeat, lead the charge in promoting LGBTQ+ inclusivity throughout our organisation and the wider heat network industry. 🌈 In addition to internal intiatives, Ethan organised and chaired a webinar for The Diverse Heat Network, bringing together key industry speakers to discuss the ongoing challenges and strategies for LGBTQ+ inclusion. Continuing the conversation beyond Pride month, Ethan published his latest blog where he shares valuable perspectives and calls for sustained allyship and action. The blog not only highlights the critical discussions from the webinar but also outlines practical steps we can all take to support our LGBTQ+ colleagues and peers. Well done Ethan! 👏

⚠ The functioning of ambient loops in heating or combined heating and cooling applications is currently not well understood in industry. Unlike Heat Interface Units (HIUs), which operate in a generally consistent manner, dwelling-level heat pumps have significantly different design needs and implications, such as fixed flow versus variable flow systems, cylinders for hot water storage, and flexibility for heating and cooling.     Despite their potential, there is a significant gap in understanding and reliable design guidance for ambient loop systems. To bridge this gap, I am conducting research as part of my role at FairHeat to ultimately support industry and enable guidance for designers.     📣 I'm looking for suppliers/manufacturers of water source dwelling level heat pumps to provide information/datasheets on their products, predominantly the following:     💧 Coefficient of performance (COP): What are the COPs over varying input water temperatures (for ambient loops, generally between 15°C - 30°C), and outlet water temperatures?  ✍ Manufacturers schematics: What is the recommended ancillary equipment (eg. Valves, cylinders, buffers) and installation schematic for the heat pump?  🔥 Control: Can the unit modulate flow during heating and cooling, and is the unit hot water priority?  🏭 Embodied carbon: What is the embodied carbon of the heat pump in CO2e/kg?     ➡ Please reach out to me if you have any info to share or just want to chat more about this!

FairHeat are hiring! With a unique market position, we are growing across all our service areas in heat network design, delivery and quality assurance. As we’ve grown, we’ve experienced huge change, but our core philosophy of hiring and nurturing engineering talent to shape the industry remains. I made the (daunting) leap from a large blue chip company to join FairHeat as an SME of under 10 people, and I’ve never looked back. The working environment is one of fun, perseverance and impact and every day is unique. What motivates and rewards me the most is my team. We have roles right through the business, whether it’s graduate through to senior experts. We’re interested in design, technical and project management professionals, and that doesn’t have to be in heat networks! If you want to be a part our journey, get in touch. #heatnetworks #hiring #skills #careers #decarbonisation #maketheleap

A wonderful night celebrating at the Decentalised Energy Awards 2024! We are delighted to announce FairHeat was awarded the Supply Chain and Skills Development Award. 🏆 This recognition celebrates our pioneering industry resource, the Heat Network Optimisation Guidance, created in collaboration with Anthesis Group for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The guidance addresses crucial optimisation challenges #heatnetwork operators face. It is the first step in defining the approach to investigating and optimising existing heat networks, building on the experience FairHeat has developed over the last 8 years. This guidance will help to enable the industry to transition existing systems towards a more efficient, reliable, and low-carbon future; which is particularly important as the majority of buildings to be decarbonised by the UK’s 2050 target already exist. 🌟 The DEA judges commented: “FairHeat are revolutionising heat network performance with their Heat Network Optimisation Guidance, which makes them the winners of the ‘Supply Chain & Skills Development Award’. Offering practical, innovative solutions for efficiency and decarbonisation of existing systems, the pioneering industry resource holds the answers to industry-wide challenges now and in the future.” Well done to all those involved in the guidance and for their invaluable contributions! 👏🏼 Thank you to The Association for Decentralised Energy for organising another great award ceremony and congratulations to all the winners, until next year. 🥂 💡 Want to know more about the guidance? read more: 🔗https://lnkd.in/eUa7GbKT 🔗https://lnkd.in/eZwDvPFX #DEA24 #heatnetworks #optimisation #operators #industryguidance #skills #training #knowledgesharing
