CIBSE and DESNZ Partner to Provide Free Access to CP1 (2020) Code of Practice for UK Heat Networks
London, UK – The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have announced their partnership to make the CP1 (2020) Code of Practice for heat networks in the UK accessible to all stakeholders, free of charge.
CP1 (2020), published by CIBSE, serves as a comprehensive guide for technical guidance and voluntary minimum standards for UK heat networks. Widely recognized as the go-to resource in the industry, CP1 (2020) has garnered widespread acceptance and support since its last update in 2020. It has been utilized by industry professionals as a vital technical reference and by developers to set standards for their new heat networks.
Thanks to the generous funding provided by DESNZ, CP1 (2020) is now available to all stakeholders, removing the previous paywall. This collaborative effort aims to democratize access to crucial information outlined in CP1 (2020) and facilitate better preparedness for the forthcoming heat network regulations in 2025.
In addition to providing free access, CIBSE and DESNZ are actively collaborating to update the voluntary Code of Practice throughout 2024. This joint initiative ensures continuous alignment with the evolving regulatory landscape, particularly with the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS) standards under development. The next version of CP1 is scheduled to be freely available for download in 2025.
Dr Anastasia Mylona, Technical Director at CIBSE, expressed her excitement about the partnership, stating, “We’re excited to partner with DESNZ to offer CP1 (2020) free to all stakeholders. This vital guide sets standards for UK heat networks, promoting industry preparedness for upcoming regulations. It reflects our commitment to advancing best practices and sustainability.”
