OptiHeat Project
Welcome to the OptiHeat Project website.
OptiHeat is a collaboration between the Univerity of Bristol and Bristol City Council, with the aim of supporting social housing providers that want to deliver heat pumps into their housing stock.
During the Spring of 2026 we will be running a series of event across the UK.
This website also contains a repository of the resources that we have found and produced, all of which are free to download.
Heatpump information for social housing providers
Across the UK housing providers are making the switch the heatpumps. As part of the OptiHeat project we have created resources to support this transition.
Supporting the Process
We have broken out resources down into four main steps, that reflect the steps that housing provider has to go to when installing heatpumps. These are:
- Pre Install
- Design
- Installation
- Post Install
This website is also structred in this manner to help you find the resources that are most relevent to you.
