For many public sector organisations, decarbonising their heat requirement is likely to be the biggest challenge when it comes to their estate. Heat decarbonisation planning is about how you transition your heating systems from fossil fuels to low-carbon alternatives, taking a holistic, whole-building approach.

This toolkit breaks down six different activities that a public sector organisation might explore in planning the decarbonisation of heat:

  1. Desktop assessment
  2. Building audit
  3. Specialist survey
  4. Feasibility studies
  5. Investment Grade Audit
  6. Detailed designs

This toolkit provides template scope of works for each of the six activities that can be lifted and edited for inclusion in your own procurement processes, to help ensure that you achieve the best outcomes for your project.
