In Germany, specific regulations about the use of recovered heat are coming into force.There is a great opportunity to use the recovered heat from DCs.

However, there are significant problems in exploiting this, and there are country and regional variations in how schemes can work..In northern Europe, there is a precedent in community heating schemes, whereas in the UK this has never been common.There are no established bodies or groups who can or will take the responsibility for installing and running these schemes.

There are also operational and contractual issues to be overcome.. Clients of DCs want efficiency and reliability and are usually uninterested in wider operational considerations.Equally, any local heating project where homes rely on a DC for their domestic heating would be compromised if the DC is shut down for weeks in winter.. Making use of this valuable waste energy requires these conundrums to be resolved.

This may become critical as the sustainability spotlight increasingly shines on these energy consumers..

Some companies are exploring an industrial synergy with food production using low grade heat and heat pumps, but this is in early development.., or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.. Industrialised Construction is no longer optional.

Amy and Jaimie emphasised that the shift towards industrialised construction is not just a trend—it’s a necessity.With growing pressures from sustainability goals, workforce challenges, and cost efficiency demands, traditional construction methods are proving inadequate.

The conversation highlighted how industrialised processes, including productisation and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), are essential for addressing these challenges and meeting future demands.. 2.. Productisation is the next frontier.The discussion introduced the concept of.
