Future Homes Standard Published

The Future Homes Standard was published this week.

Commenting on the announcement, Neil Fitzsimons, Managing Director for Power On, said:

“The publication of the Future Homes Standard recognises that high rise developments require a different approach to low-carbon heat and hot water delivery.

At Power On, we recognised years ago that individual, unit-by-unit solutions like air source heat pumps simply do not stack up for tall buildings – technically, spatially, or economically. Instead, the answer sits with heat networks.

We design and deliver integrated heat network solutions, powered by networked ground source heat pumps, large-scale air source systems, and centralised thermal storage. These are proven, operational systems already delivering low-carbon heat efficiently and reliably across complex developments.

If the UK is serious about net zero, we must move beyond fragmented, building-by-building thinking. High-rise developments demand infrastructure-led solutions. Heat networks are not just an option, they are the answer.”

With over 20 years’ experience, Power On offers multi-utility solutions, through a single point of contact, providing connections for electricity, water, wastewater, fibre, heat, cooling and gas infrastructure.

Building on that experience, we lead the industry with tried and tested solutions to deliver centralised and networked low-carbon heat to new urban and high-rise communities, facilitating the smooth transition from gas-fired heating to zero-carbon alternatives.
