Natural gas has long been the backbone of the UK’s energy system. It is used to heat over 85% of domiciles, powers industrial processes and plays a critical role in electricity generation. As the UK heads toward net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the future of natural gas is under increasing scrutiny.

Kimpton, the Liverpool and Northwest-based HVAC specialist contractor, has supplied and installed the Spire Murrayfield hospital in Barnston, Wirral with an emergency replacement Rinnai hot water heating system after the site’s gas fired storage water heaters failed to operate.

The UK’s commercial property sector is facing a seismic shift in energy efficiency regulation. The government’s tightening of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) means that by 2030, all non-domestic rented buildings must achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or higher to remain legally lettable.

Rinnai is launching a new division – Rinnai Applied – which will be dedicated to the design, supply and service of larger HVAC units and systems that will meet the specific heating, ventilation, air conditioning and hot water demands of commercial and industrial premises.

This blog will explore the technical foundations of the framework, with a focus on the role of HVAC systems in supporting net zero performance and national climate targets.

Rinnai’s Chris Goggin examines the current UK heating and hot water markets with a detailed statistical analysis of each notable sector to reveal the preferred methods of supplying both residential and commercial properties with warmth and DHW. This review will also look at the impact of legislation upon customer options.

In this blog, we will explore the difference between embodied carbon and carbon footprint and their relevance to heating and hot water systems.

In the UK, Part G of the Building Regulations and its approved documents governs the design and installation of water systems in buildings, ensuring water safety, water efficiency, and hygiene.

This year in July, the UK government passed the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. This is a primary piece of legislation passed through the house of parliament.

In this blog, we break down the Heat and Buildings Strategy in its key objectives, the technologies and energy efficiency involved, and what it means for commercial and domestic properties.

In this guide, we explore the future homes standard and future buildings standard, its impact on energy efficiency, thermal efficiency and how it will impact the UK's drive towards net zero.

Wales’s first dedicated science park has taken a decisive step toward energy resilience and carbon reduction by installing a custom-designed Rinnai heating and hot water system. The solution features multiple R290 high-temperature air source heat pumps, buffer vessels, and Modbus BMS integration - delivered as a complete, optimised package by Rinnai’s in-house design team.
