This Code of Practice has been produced as a joint project between the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), the Heat Pump Association (HPA) and the Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA). The work has been supported by the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).Surface water source heat pumps (SWSHPs) are an under-used technology in the UK. Harnessing renewable energy from the sea, rivers, canals and lakes represents a huge opportunity to provide low carbon heating/cooling to buildings.However, if SWSHPs are to form a significant part of our future low carbon energy infrastructure they need to be designed, built, operated and maintained to a high quality to deliver customer satisfaction. This Code of Practice has been produced to assist in achieving that aim by raising standards right across the supply chain and to stimulate adoption of the technology.Setting minimum requirements (and recommending best practice) should provide greater confidence for specifiers and developers. This Code of Practice can also be included in the tendering/contracting process to specify minimum requirements for a project. The adoption of this Code of Practice by developers could ultimately be used to support marketing by providing assurance to customers and property purchasers that their SWSHP scheme has followed a set of design, installation and commissioning standards. This Code of Practice should therefore have a significant effect on the SWSHP market by boosting confidence in the technology.CIBSE, HPA and GSHPA are also working to develop training to ensure the skills necessary to implement the Code of Practice are available across the sector.
