From commitment to evidence
Every UK organisation has signed up to a net-zero target. Very few can say, today, what their actual carbon trajectory looks like and whether interventions are on plan. HeatFlow closes that gap.
From Today's Gas Bill to 2050
HeatFlow plots your current carbon footprint, sets interim 2030 / 2035 / 2040 milestones aligned to UK Net Zero, and tracks your trajectory in real numbers - not aspirational PDFs.
Pathway Modelling
Compare 'do nothing', 'optimise existing gas', 'partial heat-pump transition' and 'full electrification' scenarios using your own metered data - so the roadmap reflects your buildings, not a generic case study.
BEIS / DESNZ-Aligned Carbon Accounting
Every tonne of CO₂ saved is calculated using current UK Government emission factors and uplifted automatically as factors are revised. Defensible against any audit.
Funding-Body & Regulator Ready
Outputs map directly to PSDS, SHDF, Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES), Heat Network Market Framework readiness, ESOS Phase 4, SECR and TCFD/ESG disclosure.
Actuals vs. Plan, Every Month
Roadmaps usually fail because nobody tracks them after year one. HeatFlow shows planned vs. actual decarbonisation every single month, with automatic variance analysis.
Connects Operations to Strategy
The same platform that runs your day-to-day metering, monitoring and faults also produces your board-level net-zero numbers. One source of truth, no spreadsheet reconciliation.
The four phases of a HeatFlow roadmap
Phase 1 · Measure the present truthfully
Get every building onto metered, validated, BEIS-aligned consumption data. You cannot decarbonise what you cannot measure - and most estates discover their actual baseline is meaningfully different from what was previously reported.
Phase 2 · Eliminate waste before electrifying
10–22% of heat-network gas consumption is typically waste - distribution losses, faulty meters, oversized plant, runaway DHW. Electrifying waste is the most expensive thing you can do. Optimise first.
Phase 3 · Targeted low-carbon transitions
Heat-pump retrofits, district-heat connections, hybrid systems and electrification - sequenced building-by-building based on your data, not a top-down spreadsheet.
Phase 4 · Continuous verification to 2050
Every month, planned vs. actual carbon trajectory is updated automatically. Variance triggers actions, not annual surprises. Your net-zero claim becomes auditable, defensible and credible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a heat decarbonisation roadmap?
A heat decarbonisation roadmap is a multi-year plan setting out how a building or estate will reduce gas consumption and switch to lower-carbon heat sources (heat pumps, heat networks, electrification) to meet net-zero targets. HeatFlow.ai builds, measures and continuously updates these roadmaps using your real metered data.
How does HeatFlow help me hit Net Zero by 2050?
HeatFlow turns the abstract 'net zero by 2050' commitment into measurable interim milestones, tracks actual progress against them every month using metered data, and surfaces the operational and capital interventions that close the gap - with BEIS-aligned carbon accounting throughout.
Is this aligned to UK Government policy and funding?
Yes. HeatFlow is built around UK frameworks: Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES), Heat Network Market Framework, ESOS, SECR and the BEIS / DESNZ carbon factor methodology.
Can we model different decarbonisation scenarios?
Yes. Compare scenarios such as gas optimisation only, hybrid heat pumps, full heat-pump transition, district-heat connection or fabric-first retrofit - using your own metered baselines so projected savings reflect your actual buildings.
How do you handle scope 1, 2 and 3 reporting?
Gas combustion (scope 1) and electricity (scope 2) are tracked from your metered consumption. HeatFlow exports in formats compatible with SECR, TCFD and CDP disclosures, with full audit trail.
Who typically uses HeatFlow for net-zero planning?
Local authorities, housing associations, NHS trusts, universities, MoD estates, large commercial landlords and ESCOs delivering net-zero programmes across heat networks and gas-heated portfolios.
