WEBINAR, 10 July | Decarbonising our homes: how?
EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR HOSTED BY THE HEATING & HOTWATER INDUSTRY COUNCIL, PARTNER OF NET ZERO WEEK.
Wednesday 10th July, 13:00 – 14:15 BST.
Synopsis:
Government has ambitious targets to decarbonise our homes by 2050 – but how will they be achieved? Do we have the consumer buy-in to retrofit 22 million domestic buildings? Do we have the necessary supply chain and critically, an installer base ready to retrain and upskill to fit our low carbon technologies?
This session brings together experts from across the heating industry to discuss the policy levers and regulatory frameworks required to deliver on government targets. This will include looking at consumer habits, including the manufacturer to appliance installation journey; the costs of low carbon technologies; and the servicing and certification schemes required to boost consumer confidence in net zero products.
Chair, Stewart Clements, Director, Heating and Hotwater Industry Council.
