Electric Heat Pumps (high temperature, CO2, heat pumps, cascade etc.) 2. Hybrid Heat Pumps (gas fired and air source) 3. Conventional gas fired boilers The solution for a particular building should be based on the following criteria. 1. Opportunity for a district heat network linked to other buildings 2. Pay-back period (given the potentially short asset lifecycle) 3. Thermal performance of the building and requirement for building fabric improvements e.g. double glazing and insulation 4. The requirement for pipework and emitter upgrades 5. Available footprint for internal/external plant 6. Spare capacity in electrical distribution boards, where applicable 7. Lead-time of equipment and installation/commissioning period 8.
