Heat and Cooling

This topic paper provides details on the information sources we have used in our assessment of this topic, and provides interim conclusions that should be taken forward in the Spatial strategy for the forthcoming Local Development Plan 2029.

It considers, and asks for your views, on conclusions drawn in the topic paper about the implications of the Aberdeenshire Council's Draft Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) for the Local Development Plan 2029.

The topic paper looks at actions and outcomes identified in the LHEES to deliver on four priority areas:

1.  Improving building energy efficiency
2.  Heat Network Zones as a method of decarbonising heat
3.  Reducing fuel poverty
4.  Increasing awareness of what needs to be done to provide warmer, cheaper to heat buildings and homes.

While considering these issues it would probably be appropriate to refer to the content of the Heat and Cooling topic paper as well as the Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES).

We estimate that this survey will take 10 minutes to complete.
