Objectives
Abstract	Decarbonising both heating and cooling across residential, business and industry sectors is fundamental to delivering the recently announced net-zero greenhouse gas emissions targets. Such a monumental change to this sector can only be delivered through the collective advancement of science, engineering and technology combined with prudent planning, demand management and effective policy.The aim of the proposed H+C Zero Network will be to facilitate this through funded workshops, conferences and secondments which in combination will enable researchers, technology developers, managers, policymakers and funders to come together to share their progress, new knowledge and experiences. It will also directly impact on this through a series of research funding calls which will offer seed funding to address key technical, economic, social, environmental and policy challenges.The proposed Network will focus on the following five themes which are essential for decarbonising heating and cooling effectively:Theme 1 Primary engineering technologies and systems for decarbonisationTheme 2 Underpinning technologies, materials, control, retrofit and infrastructureTheme 3 Future energy systems and economicsTheme 4 Social impact and end users' perspectives Theme 5 Policy Support and leadership for the transition to net-zer
