Ideal Heating Commercial is proud to sponsor the upcoming The Future of Heat Networks event hosted by metering and billing specialist Sycous at The Building Centre, London, on Thursday 25th September 2025.
The event brings together designers, specifiers, consultants, local authorities, housing associations, developers and contractors to explore the challenges and opportunities ahead for communal and district heating systems. With new regulations such as the Energy Act 2023 and Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021 coming into effect, and Ofgem appointed as the new regulator, the industry is undergoing significant transformation. Now is the time for operators and organisations involved with heat networks to review their operations to fully understand and comply with latest regulations. The Future of Heat Networks will showcase leading future-proofed heat network solutions, from metering to consumer payment solutions to heat/hot water solutions and more, enabling attendees to stay informed.
Sharing Knowledge Through CPD
As part of the day’s agenda, Richard Brown, our Head of Specification, will deliver a presentation based on our brand-new CIBSE-approved CPD, Surveying the Modern Plant Room: From Boilers to Heat Pumps.
The session has been adapted to include heat networks and heat interface units (HIUs), providing attendees with practical insights into:
- Boiler only upgrade considerations
- Installing for efficiency - upgrading existing boiler plant
- Can we upgrade to heat pumps only?
- Hybrid upgrade - mix of technologies
- Benefits and considerations of a hybrid system
Ideal Heating Commercial provide a range of CPDs that forms part of our growing programme of educational resources designed to support engineers and consultants in navigating the transition to low-carbon heating technologies.
Collaboration for the Future
Alongside Ideal Heating Commercial, the event is also supported by fellow sponsors Chirpy Heat, Secure Meters and SNRG, each bringing specialist expertise to help shape the future of heat networks.
Charlie Mowbray, Senior Product Manager, and Richard Brown will represent Ideal Heating Commercial on the day, with opportunities for delegates to meet them during the networking sessions.
