Will you acknowledge that the current wording of the draft Energy Assessment Guidance, in rejecting ambient loop systems, excludes a viable innovative solution and that the London Plan should be amended to ensure that future guidance allows for the use of other such low carbon innovations?

• Reference: 2022/0756
• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 24 February 2022

Do you agree that the final Energy Assessment Guidance should include a clear and precise definition of ambient loop systems (distinguishing from e.g. low temperature heat networks or ultra-low temperature heat networks) so that there is no ambiguity when discussing these technologies?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 24 February 2022

Can you commit to amending the draft Energy Assessment Guidance for final publication to allow for the use of ambient loop systems in heat network priority areas, so long as they can connect?

• Reference: 2022/0754
• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 24 February 2022

Do you recognise that, by excluding ambient loop systems with individual heat pumps that can connect to a district heat network, it is a missed opportunity to further the aims of the London Plan including promoting uptake of heat networks?

• Reference: 2022/0753
• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 24 February 2022

Do you recognise that where they can connect to a district heat network, ambient loop systems with individual heat pumps do offer significant benefits aligned with the aims of the London Plan, including in terms of energy savings and avoiding overheating?

• Reference: 2022/0752
• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 24 February 2022

Can you acknowledge that the classification of ambient loop systems with individual heat pumps units as individual heating systems is not appropriate as there are solutions in this category which can connect to a district heat network?
