Read The Adveco August 2026 Newsletter Welcome to the Adveco August 2026 newsletter… This month, we take a closer look at the strategic selection of indirect, glass-lined carbon steel cylinders for water heating projects seeking an ideal balance of capital economy and long-term durability, while meeting the challenges of fuel choices, energy efficiency, and water quality. … Read more
Water Heating And The Defence Estate: Future-Proofing The Frontline The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has unveiled a monumental blueprint for the future of its domestic infrastructure: a £22.7 billion Defence Investment Plan spanning the next four years. Characterised as a ‘generational investment,’ this massive capital injection is not destined for frontline weaponry or next-generation fighter … Read more
In the transition toward a net-zero economy, commercial building operators must navigate a complex landscape of low-carbon hot water options. While heat pumps and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems often dominate the conversation, solar thermal technology, as a true renewable, remains one of the most space-efficient and high-impact solutions for reducing a building’s carbon footprint. No … Read more
The Labour government currently remains committed to the 2050 target and a 95% decarbonised grid by 2030. They view Net Zero as a growth engine via state-owned GB Energy. Whilst the Conservatives support the 2050 goal but advocate for a more pragmatic pace. They continue to warn against deindustrialisation and have previously pushed back deadlines … Read more
How can higher education hot water systems be better designed and used to unlock greater value when modernising the UK’s struggling university and college estates? Adveco discusses high-efficiency, intelligent gas through to hybrid approaches leveraging heat pumps and solar thermal to reduce primary energy demand and make significant reductions in carbon emissions. We also consider … Read more
The minimum energy efficiency requirements for non-domestic buildings are set by Part L (Conservation of fuel and power) of Schedule 1 and Part 6 of the Building Regulations. And with the Future Homes and Buildings Standards (FHBS), these regulations set even more ambitious requirements for energy efficiency and heating for buildings. The landscape for commercial … Read more
Across the hotel industry, guest comfort is one of the most important aspects of the overall experience. Domestic hot water (DHW) plays a significant role in achieving this. From service functions including cleaning and laundry to guests showering in their rooms, using gym, spa and pool facilities, or dining in the hotel restaurant or bar, … Read more
In the transition toward a net-zero economy, commercial building operators must navigate a complex landscape of low-carbon hot water options. While heat pumps and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems often dominate the conversation, Solar Thermal technology remains one of the most space-efficient and high-impact solutions for reducing a building’s carbon footprint. No single technology fits every … Read more
Adveco considers how to approach a successful transition from fossil-fuels to electric water heating in commercial buildings as part of a wider decarbonisation strategy… Commercial hot water systems are undergoing a necessary transformation, shifting from traditional fossil-fuel-based technologies to electric appliances to meet increasingly stringent sustainability goals and modern building requirements. This transition, however, is … Read more
