Summary:

By law, the UK is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. To achieve this goal our power grid has already begun to decarbonise and, to make the most of this, much of our building stock is destined to become 'all-electric' - as well as being cooled, lit and powered by electricity many of our buildings will also be heated with electricity. Heat pumps are the most efficient way to generate heat from electricity. Consequently, they have a crucial role to play in the transition to net zero, particularly in the residential sector where traditionally their market penetration has been low. AM16: Heat pump installations for multi-residential buildings provides guidance on the design and installation of heat pump systems for high-density developments, such as medium- and high-rise apartment buildings, care homes and student accommodation, including existing buildings. This guidance assumes that a heat pump has already been selected as the preferred primary heat source and principally covers installations within the UK market.
