Our insights

New research carried out by rb&m provides further insight into the system performance of 1700 air and ground source heat pumps subject to strict monitoring by Ofgem under the Renewable Heat Incentive regulations. 

The ground-breaking research funded by the GSHPA, RECC and DESNZ and published today provides valuable new new information about heat pump efficiencies in UK homes.

As the new Labour Government lifts the ‘de-facto’ ban on onshore wind power, there is renewed interest in small-scale wind energy. But while planning rules are important, are there other issues constraining the market for standalone turbines? Our report sets out our research into wind resource forecasting methodologies and examines the various market challenges.

rb&m is now certified as having robust information security measures in place to defend against the vast majority of cyber-attacks.

Building consumer trust is the key to energy decarbonisation and, to that end, we’ve been working on a range of new tools and methodologies to help consumers make informed choices about renewable energy generation performance.

rb&m’s Colin Meek talked to Nathan Gambling for the latest award-winning Betatalk podcast about heat pump performance and our research on in-situ efficiency using data provided by Ofgem.

Our second briefing paper on heat pump performance issues looks in more detail at the correlation between industry performance forecasts and actual outcomes.
