As we tackle climate change and work towards net-zero emissions, district energy systems offer a really powerful solution for our cities.

The D3A team got to let off some steam on Friday. For our autumn social, we headed to Game of Throwing to try our hands at Axe Throwing.

Meet Conor! He’s a recent graduate from Manchester University, where he earned his MEng in Chemical Engineering. We’re excited to welcome him as the newest member of the D3A Energy team! As a Graduate Engineer, Conor will be diving into decarbonisation plans and helping design heat network systems and energy centres.

Great news!! In Round 6 of the Government’s Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES), another £2.7 million has been awarded to 33 heat networks across England & Wales. This includes 2 schemes that the D3A Energy team have been supporting.

Loads of progress on site at the Chinley & Buxworth Community Centre.

Imagine a town or city sharing one huge boiler or air conditioner. Instead of each building needing its own heating and cooling units, they’re all connected to a central energy plant, making good use of renewable energy sources and creating less pollution.

Welcome to our new recruit - Joe Thompson - who's joining D3A as a Graduate Engineer. Joe served for 6 years in the Royal Marines before completing a degree in Architectural Engineering at the University of Leeds.

Since the tragic events at Grenfell Tower, seven years ago, the spotlight was rightly turned onto the fire safety issues surrounding the cladding of buildings.

It might be midsummer but the d3a team decided to head underground for this year’s Summer Social.

The D3A Energy Team have been working with Westmorland & Furness Council to help them reach their net zero carbon emissions target by 2037.

14 months ago we started with a blank sheet of paper and now we have a brand new sustainable youth centre for the young people of Shotton.

The search is on... the d3associates team are looking for highly motivated engineers to help deliver a diverse range of energy projects across the UK.

More good news from our client the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District.

The Government’s Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) is awarding over £3 million in funding in the present round and the great news for the D3A Energy team is that 2 of our schemes have been included.

Great news for Community Energy Groups and Local Authorities. The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub are currently able to offer a limited number of subsidised Energy Audits and the D3A Energy team will be delivering the work.

With Practical Completion very much on the horizon, our Lead Architect Simon Timperley visited the Shotton Youth Centre (or SYC as it will be known) for the initial snagging inspection.

What a magnificent roof structure our drone footage has revealed. We’re delighted to be working locally with Queen's Hall Arts Centre, Hexham on a high level Condition Survey.

The Boy Wonder does it again. Today, our monthly Foosball Friday transformed into a darts tournament - and Andrew, who claims to have never played darts in his life, came out tops. No money was at stake so we couldn’t even accuse him of hustling.

The D3A Energy team are heading south this week.
