While electrification is often seen as a straightforward solution, many buildings operate at high delivery temperatures that significantly limit the efficiency of heat pumps if installed on a simple like-for-like basis.

Phocus Energy supports building owners and operators to decarbonise heating systems while maintaining occupant comfort and asset performance. This includes identifying opportunities to reduce hot water delivery temperatures through system optimisation, control upgrades, and emitter improvements, enabling heat pumps to
operate efficiently. We also assess the separation of domestic hot water from space heating, allowing each system to be designed and operated at appropriate temperatures and improving overall system efficiency and resilience.

Our engineering-led approach focuses on practical, building-specific solutions that reduce energy costs, improve system performance, and deliver credible, staged decarbonisation pathways for existing commercial building assets.
