As climate change climbs ever higher on the global agenda, we find ourselves in the unenviable situation where the simple process of heating our homes is responsible for almost a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions. This session will discuss the importance of how, with stringent environmental government targets in place, it’s vital to focus on developing the low-carbon technologies […]

Energy use and our environment are inexorably linked. No matter how hard we try, using innovative efficient new luminaire designs and controls, an installation will always have a carbon footprint. But, how much energy is used in the production of luminaires adding to that carbon footprint? One light can indirectly produce one tonne of CO2 per annum from its energy […]

With rapid growth in EV numbers for both private users and fleet operators, energy distribution networks are under considerable pressure.  The development of charging infrastructure has to keep up with growing vehicle numbers for confidence to be maintained.  An immediate challenge is faced by fleet operators needing to charge numbers of vehicles in single locations.  Energy storage is a tool […]

Riding Sunbeams is a social enterprise set up by 1010 Climate Change Group and Community Energy South to work with Network Rail to investigate the pathway for the railways to support decarbonisation by being powered directly by renewable energy. Since 2017 the Riding Sunbeams team have been working with Network Rail teams to investigate the technical, commercial and social drivers to facilitate […]

This session will offer an overview of the role the ‘Prosumer’ will have in the decentralisation of energy generation, the technologies involved and the benefits to be had. This includes: creating a stable electricity grid, un-interrupted power to homes, businesses and commercial activity and reducing the national carbon footprint- helping the transition to a zero carbon future.

How better building management and a data-led approach enabled LSH and 4D Monitoring to deliver portfolio-wide energy savings and drive down operational costs. In 2017, Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) partnered with 4D Monitoring to deploy smart building technology across its managed property portfolio, in order to reduce energy consumption and increase operating efficiencies. The scheme has been driven by LSH […]

Lighting remains a low-hanging fruit to deliver financial and environmental benefits to businesses”

Inefficiency is inherent in almost all HVAC systems – both existing and new designs – principally due to over-sizing and design practices based on rules of thumb and ineffective design tools. This presentation will focus on how model-based HVAC optimisation software is helping universities, hospitals and other non-domestic organisations improve system efficiency and reduce annual energy costs by up to […]
