Summary
Adveco’s electric-based commercial hot water CPD covers best practices for immersion heating, point-of-use electric water heating, and the advantages of using electric boilers and indirect water cylinders. The free seminar also incorporates a brief overview of how to use air source heat pumps (ASHPs) as commercial and public sector organisations endeavour to reduce carbon emissions from their building stock through new build or retrofit projects, applying heat pumps as a core technology.
Commercial hot water specialist Adveco continues to support its customers’ continuing professional development (CPD) with its range of CIBSE-accredited seminars, which provide the most up-to-date insights on best practices for electric-based commercial hot water systems.
With stepped carbon budgets created by the government until 2037 and, effective as of June 2022, the new Part L planning requirements setting the carbon emissions factors of the energy sources that we use, the UK has entered a period of all-electric heating and domestic hot water systems.
Vince Ng, Business Development Manager, Adveco, said: “This process has introduced significant carbon and financial implications when designing domestic hot water (DHW) systems. Understanding, designing and selecting the best engineered application has become increasingly important for the successful delivery of all-electric systems that reduce carbon emissions and control costs.”

“Cutting carbon emissions through the electrification of water heating makes absolute sense. However, without correct sizing and sensible specifications based on an understanding of electric-based technologies and approaches to integration into DHW applications, real problems can quickly arise. We already see this with the use of immersions as a primary heat source, or efforts to decentralise DHW with point-of-use, which are counterproductive, and ultimately costly to specify and maintain,” Vince observed. “The complexity and particular demands of delivering DHW systems for commercial properties with heat pumps are also not without their challenges.”
The CPD, therefore, also considers the differences and advantages of direct and indirect DHW systems with a focus on how to integrate ASHPs.
For a more in-depth assessment of low-energy/high-storage systems used with air source heat pumps, Adveco offers a follow-on seminar. Designing Commercial Hot Water Systems Using Heat Pumps. This CPD session takes a deeper dive into how to design heat pump-based preheat systems, comparing heat pump pre-heat and heat pump water heating systems, and explores the topic of designing high-temperature heat pumps as water heaters.
All Adveco CPD seminars are offered free and can be presented at your offices or online.
