Testing, and commissioning activities for heat pump installation work,
Fundamental design principles for ground source ‘closed loop’ heat pump collector circuit design and component sizing, layouts of ‘open loop’ water-filled heat pump collector circuits, heat loss design calculations for domestic dwellings and calculating energy output from traditional radiators to take into account the lower level of energy generated by heat pumps.
Progression & Employment
The government will provide grants to encourage property owners to install low carbon heating systems such as heat pumps, through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme 2022 - 2025. These grants will help property owners overcome the upfront cost of low carbon heating technologies. The scheme will be open to domestic and small non-domestic properties in England and Wales from 2022 - 2025.
Entry Requirements
