CIBSE and the Heat Pump Association (HPA UK) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen collaboration in the UK’s low-carbon heating sector. The agreement focuses on supporting the adoption of efficient, high-performing heat pump technologies and the transition to low-carbon heating in the built environment.
Under the partnership, the two organisations will work together to promote best practice, support knowledge sharing, and contribute to technical guidance and industry initiatives related to heat pumps. They will also explore collaboration on advocacy initiatives, technical publications and industry events, while promoting relevant programmes and activities across their respective networks.
CIBSE said the partnership combines its technical expertise and professional network with HPA UK’s industry knowledge and manufacturer representation. The organisations will also share insights and consult on issues of common interest to support good practice in the design, installation and operation of heat pump systems.
Dr Anastasia Mylona, Technical Director at CIBSE, said: “This Memorandum of Understanding reflects the importance of collaboration across the sector as we accelerate the transition to low-carbon heating. Heat pumps are a critical part of the UK’s decarbonisation pathway, but their success depends on strong technical guidance, professional competence and effective industry engagement. By working closely with the Heat Pump Association, we can bring together complementary expertise to support the development of best practice, strengthen knowledge across the industry and help ensure heat pump systems deliver the performance that buildings and society expect.”
