What type of heat pump is your area suited to?

We've launched our new and improved heat pump suitability map for small areas in Britain today. It estimates suitability for different types of clean heat - including air source HPs, heat networks, shared ground loops

A map of Air Source Heat Pump suitability for small areas (LSOAs) in Britain. The scale is all blue, with darker blue areas (generally outside urban areas) most suitable for ASHPs Map of South West England and South Wales showing Heat Network Suitability by small area (LSOA). Heat networks are generally most suitable in urban areas. The map has an orange scale, with darker orange/brown indicating more suitability for heat networks Map of London and its surrounding area showing suitability for Shared Ground Loops (a type of network for ground source heat pumps) in small areas (LSOAs). They are generally suitable in towns and cities. The map has a purple scale, with dark purple indicating higher suitability

The data science team at Nesta have been looking at what people have been saying about energy and heating on two online forums (Money Saving Expert and BuildHub).

The results are out and the charts are *beautiful*.

A better understanding of energy consumption is crucial for developing net-zero strategies.

We’ve analysed smart meter data to uncover information about energy habits and the factors that influence energy usage.

We’re looking for input on our method and how it can be developed ➡️ bit.ly/3zW1RB5
This chart shows the average electricity consumption in each half-hour (in Wh) for 4 profiles Nesta identified by grouping households with similar energy usage

How many homes in Britain are suitable for a heat pump? Or, more accurately, which homes are likely suitable for what type of heat pump?
We've been doing some work on this @nestauk.bsky.social , and have some early, rough work to share.
