Next week on Tuesday 5th June, the inaugural Low Carbon Homes Forum opens in Exeter.
The event is set to ensure better collaboration across all those who influence consumers – their energy and heating purchasing choices and their consumption habits.
Delegates registered to date include representative from South West Local Authorities (including: Devon, East Devon, Mid Devon, Dorset and Bristol Councils), local architects, heating engineers, social housing professionals, consultants and energy advisors.
Low Carbon Homes is a new initiative that will kick-off its programme of events at the University of Exeter on June 5th – bringing together leading experts to share best practice and pioneering methodologies to provide clear routes towards a low carbon future.
The choice of workshops cover inter-related topics ranging from large-scale retrofit (Energiesprong approach involving off-site construction), small-scale District Heating qualifying for non-domestic RHI (Kensa Ground Source Heat Pumps), practical solutions to the “fabric first” approach to insulation (The Green Register), latest hybrid boiler technology (Sime, gas/air source heat pump boiler), while charity National Energy Action will also be offering free training on encouraging behavioural change and making advice stick.
Low Carbon Homes founder, Graham Lock said:
“If the UK is to achieve its global obligations, there must be a rapid take-up in domestic energy efficiency – especially in the 80% of existing housing stock which is poor performing. For those working within the housing industry, the subject of energy efficiency has never been so important and we must all play a key role in driving forward change.”
