REHAU is set to host a free in-person workshop centred around the future of district heating on 27 November 2025, at The Building Centre in London. The Next Level Heat Networks workshop offers a free opportunity to gain innovative insights into low-carbon heat networks, panel discussions and a chance to network with industry experts.
The implementation of low-carbon solutions will be pivotal in achieving net zero, which is why REHAU remains committed to not only innovation but also creating opportunities – like their upcoming workshop - for industry stakeholders to stay up to date with advancements in low-carbon technologies and share their knowledge.
Multiple keynote speakers from the industry are set to lead discussions at the event, including representatives from Fairheat, AECOM and GTC – to name a few.
The day will include a brief introduction followed by two sessions of presentations, each with three keynote speakers. After each session a Q&A panel discussion will be held, allowing the audience an opportunity to engage with the topics discussed in depth.
The topics covered will include:
• updates on the heat network market, delivered by a representative from DESNZ
• updates on the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme, by Tom Burton, Principal Engineer at Fairheat
the data centre heat reuse opportunities, by Asad Kwaja, Associate Director at AECOM
• innovation in polymer pipework and DH design software, by Alexandra Leedham, Technical Team Leader at REHAU
• a discussion of retrofitting a large heat network into a heritage estate, by Adam Bainbridge, Director at Teesdale Renewables
• a contractor’s perspective on installing new build low-density heat networks, by Alastair Vivian, Chartered Manager at GTC
Following the presentations and discussions there will be a light lunch, offering a networking opportunity to workshop attendees.
