The UK has seen a steady increase in the urban population in recent decades with a 18% increase since 2004. As urban areas become more densely populated, larger and more complex buildings are often required to provide the housing and high-quality commercial space required.

Uponor Siccus Mini is a dry underfloor heating system that offers quick and easy installation for installers. It provides optimized energy efficiency, fast performance, and the ability to install directly on existing ground. With increased heating capacity and reduced energy consumption, it offers maximum comfort and environmental benefits.
Heat networks are increasingly seen as important technology to enable the UK to meet net zero targets. So, what should planners and consultants consider when it comes to ensuring the pipework can optimise the energy efficiency of a heat network? Here, we talk to our Business Development Manager Rob Oakley, who answers some of the key questions specifiers are asking.
A combination of regulatory pressure, environmental concerns and utility costs means that energy efficiency is now a crucial issue for everything from homes to workplaces to public sector buildings. However, achieving this is not always simple, especially for older buildings.
The division – built on the acquisition of Uponor late last year as well as the building technology segment of GF Piping Systems – is committed to finding new ways to conserve, manage and provide water responsibly. The new name underscores the division’s focus on residential, commercial and public buildings, while GF Piping Systems remains a leading provider for utility and industry flow solutions.
