Workshops
Please note that delegates will only be able to attend three workshops.
Workshop A: Green Deal
Facilitator: Lynne Woodburn, Operation Manager - SALIIS
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)
Facilitators: Steve Lauri, Business Development Account Manager (ECO CERO/CSCO) - E.ON UK
and Phil Dawson, Business Development and Account Manager (ECO CERO/CSCO) - E.ON UK
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.
Workshop C: Fuel Poverty
Facilitator: Liz Warren, Director SE2
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.
Workshop D: Engaging with the Public Health Agenda
Facilitator: Rachel Wookey, Environmental Public Health Scientist, Public Health England
Making the case - Fuel poverty and health: How can existing activities be used to make the case for investing in fuel poverty initiatives, to Health and Wellbeing Boards and commissioners of health services?
