Church Heating proven to help meet Net Zero targets by 2030
In February 2020, the Church of England brought forward its net zero emissions target to 2030, their Net Zero Carbon roadmap can be viewed here. The opportunity to identify areas for reducing energy usage across circa 16,000 churches is significant. Given that 72% of the energy consumed by any church is typically used in heating the building, choosing the correct heating solution will be vital in meeting this target. Our market-leading church heating solutions have proven results on reducing energy consumption and running costs.
