Leading UK building services contractor J S Wright has secured heat
network consultant status.
Heating and Ventilation website reports that four engineers
from the mechanical and electrical design and build specialist, which has
offices in Birmingham, Bristol and London, have received the accreditation from
the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).
They all passed a stringent examination on the CIBSE Heat Networks: Code of
Practice for the UK, jointly developed by CIBSE and the Association
for Decentralised Energy (ADE) as a major component in the nation’s future
energy strategy.
Associate design director David Cook, associate contracts director Matt Coy,
design manager Dave Bradbury and senior design engineer Thomas Hollywood,
proved to the assessors that J S Wright has the skills to meet the Code’s high
standards for the design, installation and commissioning of district
heating networks.
The Code of Practice aims to ensure that all district heating systems – those
in which low carbon heat for developments comes from combined heat and power
plants or recovered waste heat – are delivered in a low cost and secure manner
in order to reduce carbon emissions, fossil fuel dependence and fuel poverty.
Marcus Aniol, managing director of J S Wright, said: “With the delivery of
renewable energy systems a key area of focus in our residential work, this
accreditation reinforces our position at the forefront of heat network design
and installation.
“It also shows that by continuing to invest in the training and development of
our people, we are providing the best possible service to our customers.”
