GTC, an independent utility infrastructure provider, is hosting a technical webinar on 7 July exploring how networked ground source heat pumps (NGSHPs) can support the UK’s transition to low-carbon heating in new housing developments.
The online event will examine how networked ground source heat pump systems can help reduce carbon emissions while providing an alternative to traditional gas networks.
It will also cover considerations for developers, housing providers, local authorities, and energy professionals involved in delivering new residential communities.
The webinar will focus on the design, delivery, and long-term operation of low-carbon heat infrastructure, alongside regulatory requirements and lessons from existing developments.
Practical insights into heat network deployment
Topics covered during the webinar will include:
• Why housebuilders are adopting smart heat networks
• Ground array design and installation
• Drilling programmes, infrastructure, and site delivery
• Heat pumps, controls, and in-home systems
• Passive cooling and the role of ground source systems in addressing overheating
• SAP, HEM, and compliance requirements
• Service, maintenance, and long-term operation
• Lessons learned from live developments
The speaker panel includes:
• Adam Tkacz, Sustainable Heat Business Development Director, GTC
• Steffan De Vries, Director of Drilling, Kensa
• George Gillow, New Build Frameworks Manager, Kensa
• Emily Proud, Senior Engineer, Metropolitan
• Jack Brayshaw, Technical & Innovation Director, Vistry
Adam Tkacz says, “As the UK continues its transition towards low-carbon heating, it’s essential that the industry shares knowledge and practical experience.
“Networked ground source heat pumps are proving to be an attractive solution for new developments, combining energy efficiency with long-term sustainability.
“This webinar brings together experts who are actively delivering these systems, giving attendees the opportunity to hear real-world experiences, ask questions, and better understand how these technologies can support their own projects.”
The webinar is aimed at housebuilders, residential developers, housing associations, local authorities, utilities and infrastructure professionals, planning and sustainability specialists, and energy consultants and engineers involved in delivering low-carbon communities.
