Created with input from a number of industry bodies across a range of sectors, MIS 3005 aims to bring clarity and improve performance in three key areas highlighted in the results of the
Energy Saving Trust’s field trial of
heat pumps, published last autumn.With practical guidance on the correct sizing of
heat pumps, the right choice of
heat emitters and how to achieve adequate
heat yield from ground collectors, the new standard seeks to tackle some of the issues which have caused problems for heat pump installations in the past.Chris Davis, business development director at
Dimplex Renewables, says: “The new standard is a great piece of work that will help make working with
heat pumps more accessible to more installers – and that has to be good news for the industry.“We believe the resultant improved efficiencies will be good for the growth of the market, both in terms of inspiring confidence in the technology and in terms of really delivering the substantial carbon savings of which
heat pumps are capable.“MIS 3005 supports everything we at
Dimplex have been saying for years about
heat pump system design, and we are now looking at how we can best incorporate the new standard into our Logic Certification-approved installer training courses and our customer service.”The new standard can be downloaded in full from the MCS website at
www.microgenerationcertification.org. For more information on
