Illustrative case study

Commercial heat pump retrofit

A commercial building wants to move away from fossil heat. The work starts with demand, fabric and electrical capacity — not a domestic boiler advert. This example is illustrative and does not claim a government grant outcome.

Building demand and electrical capacity

A commercial building considering a heat pump or related low-carbon heat system. Demand, fabric and electrical supply have to be understood before a quote or capital conversation.

Starting position

The owner knows the building is poorly matched to its current plant. There is no heat-loss model and no installer quote.

Requirement

A system assessment that can lead to design and a delivery cost, and only then a funding conversation if the organisation will not pay from its own budget.

Information needed

  • Building use and occupancy
  • Existing plant and fuel
  • Electrical capacity constraints
  • What a successful outcome looks like

What this example demonstrates

  • Commercial heat is a project, not a consumer product page
  • Technical work often precedes capital
  • Incentives cannot be assumed in the project description
