Non-domestic buildings - heating systems: research report

Research we commissioned from Locogen to provide a set of case studies on the installation of zero direct emissions heating systems in both new and existing non-domestic buildings. Provides key insights on the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising these buildings.


Appendix C. Longlist of Scottish buildings with Zero Emissions Heating

The following tables provide the longlist of non-domestic buildings with ZDEH (and biomass) systems that were identified as part of our primary and secondary research. A map of the buildings on the longlist is provided after the tables.

It is stressed that these tables are by no means exhaustive, and they are not representative of Scotland or the individual planning classes. More research with the building owners would be required to confirm the technology options. Given that the scope of the project was to focus on the technologies outlined in Section 2.1b, VRF, MVHR were not a focus for secondary research.
