Heat pump design support

Heat pump design support for UK installers

Survey evidence for ASHP and GSHP design: MCS 020(a) context, heat loss inputs, emitters, plant, cylinder, electrics, EPC and BUS notes before the final design is fixed.

Vertex gives installer teams a clearer design handover: one portal job record, one PDF report, and the measured site evidence your designer, office and installation team need to stop guessing.

Quick answer

What Vertex provides for heat pump design support

The design team needs dependable inputs before the system route is locked. Vertex captures the site evidence that sits behind heat pump sizing, siting, emitters, plant space and compliance review.

Heat demand

Heat loss inputs and room context

Room dimensions, glazing, construction assumptions, emitter notes and floor-plan context can be captured so heat loss and design review are not built on guesswork.

ASHP

MCS 020(a) sound-input context

For ASHP jobs, outdoor-unit siting, boundaries, access, service space and sound-input notes are recorded where the booked scope needs the MCS 020(a) route.

Plant

Cylinder, plant and electrical evidence

Cylinder location, plant space, consumer unit, supply context, spare ways and access notes are grouped for quote, design and installation planning.

Design handover

The evidence a heat pump designer usually needs from survey

A useful report separates what was measured, what was supplied and what still needs a design or installer decision. That is what keeps the handover honest.

Emitter review

Radiators, UFH and flow-temperature context

Emitter notes, room use, wet UFH areas and obvious constraints are captured so the designer can spot where sizing or flow-temperature assumptions may need review.

System route

ASHP, GSHP or wider scope

Air-source and ground-source routes need different evidence. The report keeps external-unit, ground, plant-space and access details clear instead of mixing them into one loose note set.

Compliance

EPC, BUS and MCS evidence where in scope

EPC position, BUS-relevant notes, MCS documentation context and unresolved assumptions can sit with the report so the file is easier to check later.

Electrical

Supply, meter and consumer unit

Meter position, cut-out, consumer unit, spare ways, visible constraints and route notes are recorded so the design is not separated from the practical install route.

Handover

Portal and PDF delivery

The job record and finished PDF report are delivered through the Vertex workflow so the office, designer and installer are working from the same evidence.

QA

Checked before issue

Labels, measurements, constraints and open assumptions are reviewed before the report is treated as ready for design or quote review.

Where heat pump design support fits in the Vertex site

Survey company

Heat pump survey

Use this when the team is choosing a survey partner or needs ASHP and GSHP site evidence before quoting.

Air source

ASHP survey

Use this when the job is already air source and MCS 020(a), siting, electrical and heat loss inputs are the main concern.

Heat loss

Heat loss survey

Use this when the design needs room-by-room heat loss evidence, emitter notes and visible assumptions.

FAQs

Heat pump design support questions

It is the survey evidence and handover detail installers need before system design is fixed. It can include heat loss inputs, emitter notes, plant and cylinder context, electrical evidence, ASHP siting and MCS 020(a) sound-input context where in scope.

For ASHP jobs where it is in scope, the survey can capture outdoor-unit siting, boundary context, access, service space and sound-input evidence for the MCS 020(a) route.

Vertex focuses on survey evidence and design handover support for installers. The report gives the design team the site, heat loss, emitter, plant, electrical and MCS evidence needed before the final design is fixed.
