The project will create an innovative service that accelerates the adoption of heat pumps as replacements for gas boilers. The proposed business model leverages a street-by-street approach based on deep pre-defined energy models for target building typologies. Our unique structure as a trusted local co-operative and social enterprise will enable local market growth.This proposed service will address key barriers to heat pump installation: the cost of household acquisition and preparedness; trust and reducing the variability of heat pump performance; getting houses ready in terms of insulation and radiator upgrades. The proposed service will not install heat pumps but will provide design services and refer to installers those households and homes that the service has made 'heat pump ready'.A unique part of the proposition is that we will use 'getting gas right' as a hook for both heat pump sceptics and gas engineers struggling to transition to heat pumps. That is because, according to a DECC study, most condensing gas boilers do not condense. Therefore boiler efficiency gains can be achieved through the same mechanisms that get a home ready for a heat pump: lower flow temperatures, radiator upgrades and better control strategies.The proposed service will start with a heat loss survey augmented by prior analysis of specific building typologies and by in-home sensing. The service will coordinate 'bulk buys' for radiator upgrades and insulation installations. When the household and home are ready for the heat pump installation, the service will refer the customer to a trusted installer. Customers can retain us to monitor the performance of the system to trigger installer call-backs or advice on control strategy.The project will develop the energy analysis of several targeted building typologies and neighbourhoods in Glasgow. These will be selected for being 'hard to treat' (older, Victorian buildings) and on demographics (more affluent, educated, tending towards climate action). The project will further leverage the organisation's existing expertise in retrofit and heating design and develop this into a tested, repeatable survey methodology.

该项目将创造一项创新服务，加速采用热泵作为燃气锅炉的替代品。拟议的商业模式利用基于目标建筑类型的深度预定义能源模型的逐街方法。我们作为值得信赖的本地合作社和社会企业的独特结构将促进本地市场的增长。这项拟议的服务将解决热泵安装的主要障碍：家庭购置和准备的成本；信任和减少热泵性能的可变性；准备好房子的隔热和散热器升级。建议的服务不会安装热泵，但会提供设计服务，并向安装人员介绍那些服务已“准备好热泵”的家庭和家庭。该提案的一个独特部分是，我们将使用“正确使用天然气”作为热泵怀疑论者和天然气工程师努力过渡到热泵的钩子。这是因为，根据DECC的一项研究，大多数冷凝燃气锅炉不冷凝。因此，锅炉效率的提高可以通过使家庭为热泵做好准备的相同机制来实现：降低流量温度，升级散热器和更好的控制策略。拟议的服务将从热损失调查开始，通过对特定建筑类型的事先分析和家庭传感来增强。该服务将协调散热器升级和隔热装置的“批量采购”。当家庭和家庭准备好安装热泵时，服务将向客户推荐值得信赖的安装人员。客户可以聘请我们监控系统的性能，以触发安装人员的回调或控制策略的建议。该项目将对格拉斯哥的几个目标建筑类型和社区进行能源分析。这些城市将根据“难以处理”（较旧的维多利亚式建筑）和人口统计（更富裕、受过教育、倾向于采取气候行动）进行选择。该项目将进一步利用该组织在改造和供暖设计方面的现有专业知识，并将其发展成一种经过测试的、可重复的调查方法。
