A guide on specifying design, installation and commissioning requirements for building scale heat pump installations. It draws on experience from delivery and monitoring of Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) funded projects, predominantly Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installations. Public sector organisations may wish to consider these requirements when drafting their own procurement specifications.

The toolkit provides practical guidance for the public sector on reducing carbon emissions from crematoria by utilising currently available technologies and promoting the adoption of energy efficiency measures. Decarbonising the public sector estate presents a unique set of challenges due to the diversity, age, and operational requirements of its facilities. Within this context, crematoria are often among the highest carbon-emitting assets in local authority estates, primarily due to their energy-intensive operations and reliance on fossil fuels.

This document provides an overview of relevant clean energy heating technologies that can complement or, in certain circumstances, provide alternatives to individual heat pumps for commercial and public buildings. It is intended to help building owners, building operators and decision-makers understand where these options may be suitable and what factors should be taken into account.

This Hub guide is an introduction to assist anyone undertaking due diligence when looking to develop renewable energy generation, with particular reference to power projects.

This Guide is an introduction to the requirements typically encountered to commission, operate and maintain a solar farm.

An introduction to assist anyone who wants to develop Solar Photovoltaics (Solar PV) either as a rent-a-roof service or using ground-mounted solar PV, with a focus on non-residential property.

A guide for public sector bodies on criteria to include in specifications for procuring rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. It assumes that installations will be generating principally for on-site use with any excess sold to the grid under Smart Export Guarantees (SEG). Separate specifications will be required if the system is required to export to a third-party customer via a private wire.

Local Area Energy Planning: Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks is supporting local authorities with the development of local area energy planning and having introductory meetings to demonstrate its LAEP+ tool.

SSEN has a Tools and Maps website page, which provides links to network maps, GIS, demand calculators, and other materials.

LENZA is SSEN’s new geospatial planning software. The LENZA tool provides data on network constraints to inform the development of local area energy planning by local authorities and inform decisions about where to install new energy assets.
