FutureBuild 2026: A Different Kind of ShowIf you've never been toFutureBuild, it's hard to explain quite what it feels like to walk the floor.This year was particularly special for the first time, FutureBuild co-located with UK Construction Week London, creating what the organisers rightly called the UK's Built Environment Super Event. Over three days from 12–14 May at ExCeL London's Royal Docks, the energy was extraordinary.This wasn't an event about selling products. It was an event about solving problems. Every conversation we had with architects, M&E engineers, developers, housing associations, self-builders, and sustainability consultants was focused on one central challenge: how do we decarbonise the buildings we already have, and how do we make sure the buildings we're creating now don't contribute to the problem?That question sits at the heart of everything we do at The Big Heat Pump Conmpany. And OCHSNER heat pumps engineered to a standard that most of the industry isn't even attempting are a significant part of the answer."The conversations at FutureBuild 2026 weren't about whether heat pumps are the answer. They were about which heat pumps are worth specifying and that's exactly where OCHSNER wins every time."

Here is everything you need to know, and why combining your heat pump with solar PV and battery storage is the smartest move you can make.
