Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Baxi has welcomed 40 of its professional customers, including engineers, designers, contractors and merchants, to its first Commercial Solutions Showcase event at the Gannet venue at Edinburgh Zoo to discuss heat decarbonisation in a changing legislative landscape.
Heat is an important topic in Scotland, representing some 13% of the country’s overall greenhouse gas emissions and around 30% of total energy consumption. The event began with Baxi outlining the Scottish Government’s policy framework relating to heat decarbonisation, all aligned with the eventual local climate goal.
Networking opportunities at the event opened up discussions around the successes and barriers associated with decarbonising heat, the various solutions that can help drive improved sustainability, the role of district heating in reducing emissions from building stock, and the importance of education in upskilling the industry to achieve climate goals were also debated.
The event resonated well with Baxi’s guests, as Anne Wraith, head of product commercial sales at Baxi explains: “As the customer feedback shows, the event was a huge success, bringing together Scottish heating professionals to discuss ways of working collaboratively to progress the transition to cleaner, more efficient heat.”
“We’re already looking forward to our next Solutions Showcase event!”
