Paul Maplethorpe - Carbon Action Network National Chair
Presentation Title: Chair's Welcome
Paul Maplethorpe's presentation was derived from the EEPB eNews issue 385
Paul first began his career in insulation in 1987 knowing nothing much about the subject. He worked with a private company in conjunction with Rotherham Council on a project with help from National Energy Action to fund insulation works, loft and draft proofing. Working from 1987 to 1999, he took advantage on the way to become a full SAP assessor and also took up a post with NEA as a regional representative for the Yorkshire and Humber region. Paul became a HECA Officer in 1999, which was also his first introduction to CAN or, as it was then, the Home Energy Conservation Association.

Workshops
Workshop A: Green Deal
Facilitator: Lynne Woodburn, Operation Manager, SALIIS Ltd
Download presentation slides and feedback notes (pdf: 1.55 MB)
This workshop will explain the Green Deal 'occupancy assessment' process and how this provides specific, customised advice on the likely fuel cost savings the household can achieve from energy efficiency improvements. To pick up on the conference theme of maximising the opportunities, there will then be a discussion on how this, and the other elements of the Green Deal scheme, should help to overcome the various barriers to energy efficiency investment, especially in private sector housing. Finally, if time permits we will explore how local authorities and community groups can support home owners to (a) understand what they can do and (b) access all of the potential sources of finance/incentives.
Workshop B: ECO (Energy Company Obligation)

Confused by the proposed changes to ECO? This workshop aims to look at the recent key changes to ECO and the possible implications and impact, looking at all three elements of ECO - CSCO, CERO and HHCRO individually, with an opportunity to discuss and ask questions.

This workshop will explore emerging themes and aspects of the Government's forthcoming Fuel Poverty Strategy consultation, encouraging local authorities to share ideas and experiences that will either help or hinder delivery of the strategy at a local level. It is also a chance to present a clear "ask" of Government, industry and others, so that local authorities are in the strongest position possible to play their part in meeting any new fuel poverty targets.
