Towards Zero Carbon Homes and Buildings: a Personal Journey

To meet the government’s zero carbon targets, the UK’s housing stock will need to go through a transformational change. Heating and cooling of buildings is responsible for a substantial amount of the UK’s carbon emissions. To eliminate this by 2050 we will need to deep retrofit an existing property every two seconds, starting last year! This raises the question; how are we going to realistically overcome these challenges and reach zero carbon targets – and what role will local authorities play?

In this first ever Net Zero Places Innovation Network webinar, Innovate UK KTN’s Mike Moseley will share more about his wealth of experience working with low energy construction products. During this informative session, Mike will explore how collaboration is key, funding examples and a range of examples of products and innovations, including:

• fabric changes (including insulation, windows & doors)
• heat sources (district heating, heat pumps, both air source & ground source, solar thermal)
• ventilation systems

Who should attend?

This webinar is aimed primarily at professionals responsible for net zero interventions at local authorities, as well as procurement organisations and those with an interest in net zero building innovations.
