Cutting Cost and Carbon Emissions

15th Oct 2010 10:00 – 17:00

Cutting cost and carbon emissions - how to adopt CHP across the public estate
 
Generating your own energy through Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions, and is particularly suitable for public sector buildings.

This free workshop for public sector professionals will discuss the benefits and practicalities involved in CHP, district heating and trigeneration.

Fuel costs of buildings are now a significant part of local authority expenditure and many councils are now facing annual bills of well over £1 million. In addition, many public sector organisations will be required to comply with the government's CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme or face financial penalties.

Some have also signed up to the 10:10 commitment for reducing emissions in 2010. CHP is a proven technology and an energy efficiency 'Quick Win' ideally suited to many public sector properties. Find out more and cut your energy bills and carbon emissions now!

This event will:
* Give a brief overview of CHP, district heating and trigeneration technology
* Explore existing case studies with guest speakers including:
  o Mel Pascoe, former Energy Manager - University of East Anglia
  o Peter North, Head of Decentralised Energy, London Development Agency
  o Lucy Padfield, Energy Manager - Islington Borough Council
* Discuss financial incentives and policy drivers for CHP
* Feature a tour of the venue boiler room to look at a CHP plant in action
* Include networking opportunities and a chance to ask the experts
