Energy and innovation in buildings

Energy efficiency and renewable energy are said to be the twin pillars of a sustainable energy strategy. But because energy has been, and continues to be relatively cheap, cost has not proved to be a strong driver towards energy efficiency in buildings. It is still commercially acceptable to cool them in the summer, heat them in the winter, and light them all year round using heavily carbonised energy to do it. But priorities are changing, and saving carbon, (as well as saving cost), is the new and more compelling reason to make buildings energy efficient.

10.45 – 12.15

Technical update and overview

This session will look at the current legislative and financial drivers which are encouraging a greater focus on improving the energy efficiency of buildings, and how these will evolve given UK and European carbon reduction targets. It will also examine the technologies and innovations which are available for reducing energy consumption, and how to combine all these drivers into a long term energy management strategy.

Quick wins: energy efficiency in 5 steps

It is acknowledged that the energy consumption of a building can be reduced by approximately 20% by implementing relatively simple and quick measures. This session will provide a step by step guide to the ‘easy wins’ in terms of reducing energy in buildings.

14.15 – 15.30

Smarter supply and a smarter future for energy reduction in buildings

The growing drive for energy efficiency is encouraging a new wave of thinking about energy and the way it is used and managed from the grid to the appliance in the home. This is not an unsupported vision of the future, but an approach to energy useage which is underpinned by technology, and to some extent, policy, and one which will represent a step change in the coming decade.
