our next event
Wednesday 4th December 2024 at Rain Bar- Manchester 12pm-3pm.
Guest Speakers:
Stephen Dootson (Commercial Director of KAST Renewable Energies) & Luke Cronshaw (MD ENVIROHEAT)
Improving energy efficiency in both commercial and residential properties is essential for reducing energy costs, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings. Implementing a combination of innovative and proven technologies can significantly contribute to these goals.
Key Strategies for Enhancing Energy Efficiency:
- Insulation Upgrades:
- Wall Insulation: Installing cavity or solid wall insulation can substantially reduce heat loss.
- Roof Insulation: Enhancing loft insulation is a cost-effective measure.
- Heating System Improvements:
- Heat Pumps: Air-source and ground-source heat pumps are efficient alternatives to traditional heating systems.
- Boiler Upgrades: Transitioning to condensing combination boilers can improve efficiency.
- Window and Door Enhancements:
- Installing double or triple glazing reduces heat loss and improves thermal comfort.
- Smart Technologies:
- Implementing smart meters and thermostats allows for better energy monitoring and management, leading to potential energy savings.
- Renewable Energy Integration:
- Incorporating solar panels or wind turbines can provide renewable energy sources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon footprints.
The UK government is committed to improving energy efficiency standards. By 2030, there is a proposal to require all rented homes to achieve an EPC rating of C or above, aiming to lift over 1 million households out of fuel poverty.
Benefits of Energy Efficiency Improvements:
- Cost Savings: Reducing energy consumption lowers utility bills for property owners and tenants.
- Environmental Impact: Decreasing energy use reduces carbon emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation.
- Property Value: Enhanced energy efficiency can increase property desirability and market value.
- Compliance: Meeting or exceeding regulatory standards ensures compliance and avoids potential penalties.
After the Q&As in the boardroom, this will be followed by Drinks and Food,
on the 2nd floor private function room (until 5pm).
