In time of crises, our panellists will make an attempt to bring clarity in chaos in a constructive and engaging debate.

Government organisations have a vast and varied property portfolio. The complexity of the estate can make it very difficult to both manage and control energy consumption as well as taking steps to reduce this consumption. This session looks at some exemplar case studies from Central Government departments to show how they are tackling the Net zero dilemma and how they […]

The new Government has renewed its commitment to net zero and progress is continuing apace in reforms for power sector decarbonisation and to somewhat of a lesser extent, to decarbonise our heating through electrification, hydrogen and zero carbon heat networks. However the energy crisis is also seeing the re-introduction of effectively a Strategic Reserve of coal plants and some of […]

Greater Manchester has begun work on ambitious plans to revolutionise energy networks across the city-region, supporting a lower carbon future and our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2038. The proposals for a local energy market (LEM) would see Greater Manchester’s 10 boroughs draw up plans to increase energy efficiency and pave the way for new technologies and low-carbon infrastructure […]

The public sector across the UK, from local authorities, hospitals and schools to central government, police forces and universities, spends more than £290bn on procurement every year. As the Government’s Net Zero Strategy recognises, this purchasing power can drive the transition to net zero and deliver real change, with the right procurement solutions in place. Whether your business specialises in goods […]

Whilst getting the strategy right is a significant challenge, making sure buildings actually perform effectively once built is another! Through an innovative collaboration between Dorset Council and a private controls house, an award winning App has been developed to help schools effectively manage their heating by giving local control, via a mobile phone,  to key staff without the need to […]

Coventry City Council embraced solar as part of an ambitious plan to generate 15% of its energy use from renewable sources. Learn how it overcame financial and non-financial challenges to install solar systems on six schools, as part of a larger project to transform 41 municipal buildings. This Q&A presentation will guide you through the key stages of the schools […]

In a world that looks increasingly unstable and subject to climate shocks, the military must strike a balance between being effective maintaining security against any adversaries, supporting allies, and at the same time reduce their impact on the environment. There is a growing movement among the defence sector to find the solution of more personal and national security and yet […]

In the past decade, WSCC has almost halved its carbon emissions and dramatically increased the amount of renewable energy it generates. It now produces more clean electricity than it consumes in delivering its core activities, excluding schools. This has been achieved through an ambitious programme to build solar farms on council land, integrate renewable energy technology into council buildings and […]
