Association structure
HPA UK is led by our Board of Directors, made up of elected Chairs and Vice Chairs. The Board is advised by the Governing Body Committee, comprised of elected representatives from our Executive Membership, our elected Installer Representative with the opportunity to co-opt representation from members to ensure all sectors are represented. Executive Members can also make recommendations to the Governing Body Committee through Strategy Sessions, while priorities for specific workstreams are shaped in our Working Groups, open to Full and Executive members.
Commercial, Industrial and Public Sector Working Group
Our Commercial, Industrial and Public Sector Working Group is dedicated to addressing challenges and opportunities related to heat pumps in the Commercial, Industrial and Public Sectors. Attendees explore market trends, policy frameworks, financing options, best practices, and awareness-raising opportunities for commercial and industrial heat pump projects.
