These should be installed at each point where heat metering is required. Heat metering installed
between the isolation valves should be able to record the total heat output from the heating
system (excluding individual room heaters and immersion heating, the latter of which will be
monitored through electricity sensors). Therefore, if there are several return pipes connected to
a renewable heating installation, then each one will need to be heat metered, and each one will
need to be fitted with isolation valves with sufficient separation to allow heat meters to be
installed.
3. Leave sufficient pipework accessible, i.e. not boxed in or under floor boards, to enable meters to
be fitted;
Notes on making an installation
‘
meter ready
’
Heat meters that have been used by BEIS in their metering programmes in the past have required a
mains electricity connection. Therefore, at the same time as installing isolation valves for the heat
meters, installers should consider the placement of an easily
-
accessible electricity supply to power the
heat meters.
