§ Mr. Amessasked the Secretary of State for Energy what guidelines he has sent to local authorities, development corporations and new town commissions for the operation of district heating systems.
§ Sir George YoungI have been asked to reply.
Although no guidelines have been issued in recent years, the Building Research Establishment (BRE) has published three papers on the performance and operation of district heating schemes and on heat metering. Additionally, BRE provides advice on request to individual local authorities.
