We are live with @peoplesbiz talking about our Next Generation-funded project to install #HeatPumps in south-west London. Tweet along with us if you're Zooming, or to show some love.

What's our big idea? 
#RenewableHeat in three areas: civic centres, communal heating in blocks of flats and domestic market (able-to-pay and vulnerable markets).

Why #RenewableHeat?
@wandbc and @Merton_Council declared climate emergencies mid-last year and they saw RH as a HUGE step towards tackling that. We are working alongside them to take #ClimateAction
in our area.

Our first project? @devasclub (or at least phase 2)... read more here: http://www.crewenergy.london/blog/devas-club-phase-2-underway
We're installing 4 x 16 kW ASHPs to save an estimated 26 tonnes of CO2e per annum.

What do we need to consider?
@devasclub approached us because they want to cut their emissions by 5% per annum - that's the kind of target we can get on board with!

What about domestic? We need to consider price, appearance, location and noise.
With the #GreenHomesGrant on the horizon, lots of people are taking #HeatPumps seriously. We're looking at bivalent / hybrid heat pumps to split heating and hot water and make things even cheaper.

Also plenty of opportunities to be seized in #CommunalHeating in blocks of flats. 40% of housing in #Wandsworth is flats, so we have a lot to play with. We are currently working with @wandbc to find a trial building.
Time for the Q&A 
Where did the need for your project originate?
Odd answer... Philip Hammond! He announced in spring last year that from 2025 there no new gas grid connections for new builds. That + climate emergencies declared, we knew there would be interest and support!

(cont.) Where did the need for your project originate?The just looking at air quality: seeing how much we particulate pollution/CO2 we pump out in city centres. Wandsworth and Merton are also a huge opportunity for commercial and domestic change.
