Phase 5 Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund

Additional resources and examples  

Please see below various additional resources and examples that will support applicants in developing heat decarbonisation plans and detailed designs.   

These resources may be useful to Phase 5 Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund applicants and grant recipients when developing their application and in delivering projects. These are for guidance only.   

Resources

RIBA Plan of Work  

The RIBA Plan of Work is the definitive model for the design and construction process of buildings. The RIBA Plan of Work organises the process of briefing, designing, constructing and operating building projects into eight stages and explains the stage outcomes, core tasks and information exchanges required at each stage.  

CIBSE AM17 Heat pump installations for large non-domestic buildings (2022)  

CIBSE AM17: Heat pumps for large non-domestic buildings (2022) provides and consolidates best practice guidance with the aim of supporting high quality design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of large heat pump systems.  

Salix tools and resources 

We have created a series of tools and resources to help you work your way through your decarbonisation journey. These guidelines are suitable for anyone looking to start an energy efficiency or decarbonisation project and needs to plan their work.  

Energy Systems Catapult Public Sector Decarbonisation Guidance 

Energy Systems Catapult alongside the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Cabinet Office, has developed guidance to support the public sector to decarbonise their estate. The suite of tools, templates and checklists includes a specific guide ‘Understanding six activities that make up Feasibility and Design’ which helps public sector organisations better understand the activities they might undertake to develop a heat decarbonisation plan.  The suite also covers themes such as developing and delivering your strategy and procurement.
