Call for Evidence – The Future Of Heat: Non-Domestic Buildings

There is significant potential for savings from heat, cooling and energy efficiency within the different non-domestic sectors (public, business and commercial), but accessing it has a number of challenges because of the diverse nature of energy usage in those buildings.

The evidence base is not complete and it needs to be considered and a number of policies need to be tested which can deliver the most effective savings. This call for evidence will play a vital part in this.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy is seeking views from those in the building industry and decisionmakers on the opportunities, and how they can:

• Keep energy bills as low as possible;

• Continue to ensure the UK has a secure and resilient energy system;

• Remain at the leading edge of science, research and innovation

• Reduce carbon emissions cost-effectively

You can respond online or forward your comments directly to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy at buildingheat@beis.gov.uk.
