Manage It helps operators stay in control by focusing on compliance, performance and the day-to-day management of efficient heat networks.
If there’s one thing Manage It knows, it’s that running a successful heat network isn’t just about keeping the heating on.
It’s about demonstrating performance.
With Ofgem regulation and HNTAS reshaping the industry, operators are increasingly expected to prove their networks are efficient, reliable and delivering value.
Performance is becoming measurable
Manage It understands that expectations for heat network performance are changing.
Not long ago, success was largely judged by one simple question: Does the heating work?
Today, that’s no longer enough.
As Ofgem regulation develops, operators will be required to demonstrate how efficiently their networks are performing using objective measures rather than assumptions.
That’s exactly why Manage It sees VWART becoming such an important indicator.
It provides a consistent way of measuring network performance and identifying where improvements may be needed.
The role of HNTAS
For Manage It, good decisions start with measurable evidence.
The Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS) is helping move the industry towards measurable standards focused on efficiency, reliability and data quality.
The proposed KPIs cover a range of technical areas, including:
-
-
Energy efficiency
-
Reliability
-
Data quality
-
Consumer outcomes
-
Network performance
-
VWART sits comfortably alongside those ambitions because it provides a clear indication of how effectively heat is being transferred around the network.
While it won’t identify every underlying fault, it often provides the first indication that further investigation is required.
Managing for the long term
For Manage It, successful heat network management isn’t about responding to today’s issues, it’s about planning for tomorrow’s performance.
Operators who continuously monitor their networks, use data to guide maintenance decisions and optimise performance over time will be far better placed to demonstrate compliance and deliver value to residents.
As regulation continues to evolve, performance management will become an ongoing process rather than a one-off exercise.
That’s where metrics like VWART become invaluable, helping operators understand not just whether their network is working, but how well it’s working.
By keeping performance under constant review, Manage It helps ensure heat networks remain efficient, compliant and ready for the future.
Management success
The best performing heat networks don’t just deliver heat; they continuously measure and improve performance.
Understanding VWART is only the first step. Guru Pinpoint helps turn performance data into practical insight, so you can make informed decisions, improve efficiency and stay one step ahead of changing regulations.
Well-managed heat networks deliver better outcomes for everyone.
