Events for Housing Providers

 

CEN's seminars for housing providers outline relevant policy drivers and overview different sustainable energy technologies.

These events have been part funded by the Energy Saving Trust as part of their Local Energy Support Programme, which provides dedicated energy saving advice to Local Authorities and Housing Associations.

The events are designed to equip you with the knowledge to take forward installations, learn from the practical experience of other organisations and network with technology experts.

Forthcoming events

Meeting Renewable Energy Policies

Practical seminar and workshop:
Achieving sustainable energy planning requirements
Planning policy for sustainble energy is becoming increasingly challenging. The most recent draft of the Mayor's London Plan includes a 20% carbon dioxide reduction requirement from onsite renewable energy generation.

This half day seminar will enable delegates to identify the opportunities for energy reduction and integration of renewable energy into building design to comply with current and future policies.
Agenda to include:

- National and local planning policies
- Renewable Energy Technologies
- Workshop: Practical assessment of a development
