Planning for Low Carbon Heat

12 March 2019
Edinburgh

Planning for Low Carbon Heat

Tuesday 12 March, Edinburgh

The way we heat our buildings is going to change dramatically in the coming years. The new Planning (Scotland) Bill, Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies and district heating regulations will have a significant impact on how planning approaches energy and place, with the potential to improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions and create new, local economic opportunities.

Zero Waste Scotland is hosting a free workshop in Edinburgh on Tuesday 12 March 2019 to help planners understand more about the changing policy landscape and how these changes might be addressed in practice. The session is free to attend for all planning professionals, whether in the public or private sector.

At the workshop, you will have the chance to hear about:

  • Developments towards the Planning (Scotland) Bill, the further rollout of LHEES and the introduction of district heating regulations
  • Feasibilities and the energy statement
  • Insights and experiences of planning for low carbon heat from case study speakers

The session is designed to help planning professionals network and share your experiences in an open and informal environment. Speakers will include SEPA, Arup, Zero Waste Scotland and more.

You can secure your place by clicking the green Register button towards the top right of this page.

Further workshops are planned for home builders and housing associations. If you would like to know more about these sessions, please contact Drew Murphy on drew.murphy@zerowastescotland.org.uk.

Conference Stained Glass Dealing with Environmental Deterioration

27 March 2019
London

Environmental deterioration is arguably the most serious risk facing stained glass
windows. Historic England is hosting a one-day conference to look at its causes and its treatment. This will present the results of our research project looking at the design and efficacy of “environmental protective glazing” (ventilated secondary glazing), and will launch the consultation on our forthcoming Guidance Note (Stained Glass: Dealing with Environmental Deterioration).

Speakers including Tobit Curteis, Leonie Seliger, Steve Clare, Andrew Arrol,
Chris Wood, Giles Proctor, and Robyn Pender will be discussing all aspects of the
protection of stained glass endangered by environmental deterioration: practical
conservation and research, case studies, and planning issues.

An unmissable event for everyone interested in ecclesiastical buildings; for all
building conservation advisors, funders, architects and surveyors; and for all owners
and custodians of fragile stained glass or other decorative glazing.

Practical responses to MEES (the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards)

26 November 2018
Swindon

Fit for the Future and STBA are collaborating to bring you and event which explores the practical responses to MEES. The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for properties in the private rented sector were introduced in April of this year. These regulations are particularly challenging for owners and managers of portfolios of older buildings – especially as MEES are based around EPCs and these often do not accurately reflect the performance of solid-walled and other traditionally-constructed buildings – both domestic and non-domestic.

We will begin with an update from BEIS on the regulations themselves, then show how some portfolio owners have developed practical responses to meet these targets, and explore the inconsistencies between reducing energy use and improving EPC scores. Just as importantly, we want to hear from you, to record the challenges you are facing so that we can communicate these to government, and for you to share the solutions you are implementing, so there will be two contributory sessions to ensure that everyone attending has the chance to speak and raise issues.
