Community Heating Show | HeatSource

📍 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh
📆 15 August 2024 1:00 PM

Decarbonising heat by using more electricity is a common topic of discussion. Renewable electricity doesn’t contribute to climate change, but electric heating can be costly. With many people already in fuel poverty, it’s essential that any changes minimise the impact on fuel bills and support the climate change ambitions.

Join us at the Community Heating Show to discover what heat networks are and explore why they are poised to become the primary method of heating homes and buildings in cities in the future. This session will host a community engagement and empowerment session on heat networks.
