Talk topic: Net Zero
Net Zero harvests free solar energy and distributes this to high temperature heat pumps which are combined with large hot water storage tanks.
Hear about how engineering modelling tool Net Zero puts key metrics together to help specify hot water systems with exactly the right components in exactly the right proportions, for any commercial or domestic project.
