The OptiHeat Project is helping social housing providers across the UK make the transition to heat pumps. As part of a long-running collaboration between Bristol City Council and the University of Bristol, we're working with housing associations, local authorities, researchers, and industry partners to develop practical solutions that support the move to low-carbon heating.
