With Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) coming into force next year, we are aiming to help companies learn what they can do to improve the performance of their existing buildings. The aim of EPCs is to rate buildings on how well they perform, i.e. how much it costs to run, which will impact when a building is put up for sale or lease.
It’s relatively easy to design a nice new building with the latest low-carbon technologies – but the major problem we face is with the existing inefficient building stock. These buildings are currently a major contribution to energy consumption in the UK. This is especially prevalent with our present unsustainable energy use – the impacts of which are really beginning to hit us, especially with rising fuel costs.
What can you do to reduce energy costs within your building? How do you know if the investments will be worth the payback?
With this event, we aim to help businesses to look at their existing premises to evaluate the potential for refurbishment. We will look at the issues, solutions and available assistance.
The event is hosted by Maximillion events who have been through the process of retrofitting their building. They will be sharing their experiences and you will be able to see first hand the improvements that can be made. We will also hold ‘surgery’ sessions so that you can ask the experts specific questions on your building.
This event is kindly sponsored by Maximillion events: www.maximillion.co.uk.
