19 non-negotiables for commercial heat pump success
Poor planning is where most commercial heat pump projects go wrong. Here are the 19 things you need to get right, from load calculations and zoning to controls, commissioning and real-world SCOP.
9 Options for electrical heating
The post discusses decarbonising buildings by replacing gas and oil boilers with electrical heating and emphasizes that to choose the right system, you need to understand how the building is used and its thermal performance rather than relying solely on traditional, flawed modelling. Additionally, your post on the "Performance Gap" covers related themes regarding operational performance and the transition to electric heating.
Most ESG reports are educated guesses. Here’s what that’s costing you
UK and EU building owners now have to report energy use by law, but most rely on design estimates that can be off by up to 70%. Here’s how that gap drives wasted energy and costly peak bill spikes, and how atBOS uses live room-by-room data to fix both.
My flats beat Passivhaus and still only scraped an EPC C
I built a block of 6 flats in Cardiff that beat Passivhaus standards, yet it could only just scrape an EPC C. Here’s why SAP ignores controls and real performance, and what that means for builders, social housing providers and the residents paying the bills.
How Oxfordshire is making Net Zero affordable
See how Oxfordshire County Council uses atBOS to control heat pumps across 7 sites, moving from gas to electric without the cost of a traditional BMS.
The heat pump paradox: why building control is now a necessity
Switching from gas to heat pumps can nearly double effective heating costs for commercial buildings. Here’s why room-level control is the key to making the economics work, and how atBOS brings costs back down to 6-7p per kWh.
Why Scotland’s retrofit centre chose Atamate
BE-ST, Scotland’s National Retrofit Centre, has installed atBOS across its two lab sites. Here’s how real performance monitoring helps retrofit projects deliver the savings they promise, and why that matters for a £30bn market.
Atamate is now an official Autodesk Tandem partner
Atamate is now an official partner of Autodesk Tandem. Our Building Operating System, atBOS, feeds real-time sensor and metering data into Tandem, turning static digital twins into live models that show how buildings actually perform.
The hidden winter cost of electric heating
Commercial electricity bills charge for peak demand as well as usage, and electric heating pushes that peak up just when the grid is most expensive. Here’s why switching from gas can drive bills up, and how smart load management keeps costs in check.
9 heating systems and when to use each one
Swapping gas boilers for electric heating means choosing between 9 common systems, from heat pumps to infrared panels. Here’s what each one does best, and why understanding how a building is used matters as much as how well it’s insulated.
