The brief

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has commissioned a feasibility study to assess low-carbon alternatives to its existing gas-fired heating infrastructure as part of its strategic decarbonisation programme.

The study will evaluate the technical, operational, and economic viability of replacing the current gas boiler plant with electric heating solutions, including Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, and the potential use of seawater as a renewable heat source.

The commission will provide a robust evidence base to support future investment decisions and the development of subsequent design, funding, and delivery phases associated with the decarbonisation of NOC's estate.

The study will include option appraisal, feasibility assessment, and recommendations for the preferred heating solution to support the transition away from fossil fuel-based heating systems.
