•A well-functioning space heating system can operate below 70 °C for 98% of the year and below 55 °C for 71% of the year.•The performance gap between measured and calculated energy use is widening across building age groups, with a clear increase for post-1980 buildings.•Pre-1980 buildings can operate with supply temperatures below 70 °C for 96–99% of the year and below 55 °C for 67–71% of the year.•Building envelope improvement, whilst recommended, is not a pre-requisite for using low-temperature supply in pre-1980 buildings.•Post-1980 buildings could have limitations in respect of using low-temperature heat under windy conditions. Decarbonising heat in the UK by 2050 will require the wider adoption of low-temperature heat. Current systems, largely relying on gas boilers, have design operating temperatures of 82/71 °C (supply/return) while new standards for 4th Generation District Heating are 55/25 °C. Local authorities must set-up strategies to get their buildings “Heat network ready” but this raises the question of the ability for existing buildings to use low-temperature heat. The aim and the novelty of this paper is to establish a relationship between an energy ‘performance gap’ in Scottish public buildings and their ability to use low-temperature heat. This performance gap has been evaluated for 121 non-domestic buildings, primarily schools, operated by The City of Edinburgh Council. Space heating system are assumed oversized by 10%. The results show that renovation of the building envelope, while highly desirable, is not a pre-requisite for using low-temperature heat in pre-1980 constructed buildings, which represent 64% of the stock. It also highlights that post-1980 buildings, predominantly utilising mechanical ventilation systems, demonstrate an increasing performance gap which could limit their ability to use reduced operating temperature, especially in windy conditions.
