Age
The disadvantage of
becoming wise is
that you realise
how foolish you
have been
Central heating has gone from
being a luxury to being a necessity
Today the largest slice of
UK energy is used to
produce heat. The vast
majority of our heat is
produced by burning
fossil fuels and is
responsible for around a
third of the UK’s
greenhouse gas
emissions
62% of domestic energy is used for
space heating & 18% for hot water
Appliances account for 14% with
lighting & cooking at 6%
Renewable Heating
Air Source Heat Pumps
Require a well insulated home and changes to the distribution system.
Also need for HW storage. May require planning permission.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Require a well insulated home and changes to the distribution system.
Also need for HW storage. Require large area for collectors. More
expensive purchase and installation.
Biomass Pellet Boilers
Require a flue and plenty of space for dry storage of pellets. Pellet
supply and delivery a consideration as is cleaning and maintenance.
Solar Thermal
Long pay back. Aesthetics and need for ostensibly S facing surface plus
HW storage.

Carbon Targets
2012
The Climate Change (Scotland) Act requires a minimum 42% cut in
emissions by 2020 and 80% by 2050 and annual targets for
Scottish emissions from 2010 to 2050.
EU Renewable energy progress report 2015
2050 Closer than 1970
Low Carbon Scotland – By 2020
every home to have loft
every home heated with gas
central heating to have a highly
and cavity wall insulation,
efficient boiler with appropriate
where this is cost-effective
controls;
and technically feasible, plus
simple measures such as
draught-proofing and pipe
lagging;
at least 100,000 homes to have
adopted some form of individual or
community renewable heat
technology for space and or water
heating.
‘In order to achieve the legislated target to
reduce emissions in 2050 by 80% relative
to 1990 levels, and given limits on scope
for emissions reduction in some key
sectors, it is likely that heat from buildings
will have to be almost fully decarbonised
over the next four decades.’

UK Water
Households use 55% more water than in
1980 (150 lpp/pd)
By 2020, demand could rise by 5% or 800
million lpd
By 2050, climate change could reduce UK
water by 10 to 15%
By 2050, average summer river flows in
could reduce by as much as 50 to 80%
