A Community Energy Fortnight Event #WeThePower\n\n\nAbout this event\nA Community Energy London/Community Energy England/Carbon Co-op event \nManchester has a growing number of community groups involved in the delivery of local sustainable energy projects. These groups are part of the 400 groups nationally within the community energy sector working in their neighbourhoods to reduce emissions and support households with their energy bills. \nA growing number of cities – such as Oxford\, Bristol\, London – have active community energy programmes in place which are supporting groups deliver renewable energy\, energy efficiency and energy advice project to their local communities. \nThis event will look to highlight work already underway in the Greater Manchester area and examine routes to boost community energy activity over the coming decade and set Manchester on the right trajectory to to achieve its Net Zero by 2038. \nAGENDA \nSession 1: The need for greater community action in the climate crisis\n10am.

The Committee on Climate Change has highlighted the significant role that the public will need to play in helping achieve these targets. The shift to new heating technologies (heat pumps/heat networks)\, electric vehicles\, increased use of public transport\, and even dietary choices will all need public acceptance. \nCommunity –led energy projects can not only play an important role in bringing forward these new energy solutions\, but community groups are also trusted intermediaries better able to ‘hand hold’ households as these technologies are rolled across streets and neighbourhoods. \nA Client Earth survey of August 2018 found that “Almost three quarters of consumers would be interested in joining a community energy scheme if the government made it easier”. \nCover photo: St John’s Sunshine solar PV project\, Old Trafford \nBelow: Oldham Community Power URL:https://carbon.coop/event/net-zero-for-2038-the-role-for-community-energy-in-greater-manchester/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/16199_image.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210623T173000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210623T184500 DTSTAMP:20260403T203930 CREATED:20210311T164958Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210623T195043Z UID:14285-1624469400-1624473900@carbon.coop SUMMARY:Heat Pumps with Florence Collier DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to be joined by Florence Collier from Humbletee for an ‘Ask the Expert’ retrofit construction webinar.\n\n\n\nFlorence is a mechanical services engineer by training\, and a certified Passivhaus designer.

Come along to find out more.\n\n\nNottingham City Council and Plymouth City Council are working with Carbon Co-op through mPower\, Horizon 2020 project\, to investigate opportunities to develop a sustainable financial approach to whole house retrofit of fuel poor homes\, using a person-centred approach. \n \nWith the introduction of Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery (LAD) and Home Upgrade Grants (HUG) being delivered through local authorities alongside existing Energy Company Obligation (ECO) delivery\, grant funding for energy efficient retrofit is at the highest level for over a decade. Moreover\, the security of future investment in this sector looks more certain than ever\, as does a local authority-led delivery model for at least some of the funding. \n \nWhile more retrofit is being delivered\, these schemes are disproportionately failing to address the most vulnerable homes. Nottingham City Council and Plymouth City Council have worked collaboratively to investigate how whole house retrofit can deliver to those most vulnerable\, and how this could be sustainably financed. \n \nWe are keen to share our learning with other Local Authorities in the UK and with stakeholders and institutions from the health\, energy\, employment\, property development and education sectors who can see the benefits of working together to tackle fuel poverty. \n \nAgenda \nIntroduction to mPower – Justin Bear\, Project Manager\, Plymouth City Council and Plymouth Energy Community. \nPresentation on People-Centred Fuel Poverty Approaches – Dr Alice Jones\, Impact Consulting Ltd. \nPanelist discussion with: \n\nEleanor Radcliff\, Senior Researcher from Centre for Local Economic Strategies on Local Anchor Networks\nBruce Davis from Abundance Investment on Community Municipal Investment.\n\n[Due to UCU strike action Dr Mark Davis and Prof Lucie Middlemiss are no longer able to attend ] \nDiscussion \n \nStakeholder Workshop \nThis event will be followed by a Stakeholder Workshop\, if you are based in Nottingham or Plymouth and are interested in talking with the team about their work and how it is relevant to your organisation please contact aneaka@carbon.coop. \n \nSpeaker Biographies \n\n\nJustin Bear joined the PEC team in September 2017. He coordinates PEC’s energy team to install simple energy efficient measures and provide advice. He also works behind the scenes to develop new opportunities. \nWith a Natural Sciences degree from the University of Bath\, he enjoys communicating technical information in an uncomplicated and engaging way.

DESCRIPTION:How much insulation do you need to reduce space heating demand to install a heat pump?\n\n\nWith large scale installation of domestic heat pumps identified as a key technology to support UK decarbonisation targets\, there is increasing discussion about how to install them in a way that maximises their efficiency and performance. \nLower home heating demand means a smaller heat pump is required\, but does the typical home need to be a super insulated Passivhaus or can we get away without improving a house at all? Opinions differ! \nIn this best practice webinar\, we will hear from three experts in the field to get different views on the subject and attempt to answer the question: How much insulation do you need to install a heat pump? \nMarianne Heaslip is a retrofit architect and technical lead at People Powered Retrofit\, Leah Robson co-owner of heat pump installers Your Energy Your Way\, and Matt Fawcett is Energy Systems lead at Carbon Co-op and project manager of the Heat Pump Challenge and will discuss heat pump performance monitoring and evaluation approaches. \nThe presentations will be followed by an opportunity for Q&A. \nThis webinar is suitable for practitioners\, installers\, engineers\, architects\, policy makers\, Community Energy groups and householders with high levels of technical knowledge. The session will be recorded and made available after the event. \nIt is part of Carbon Co-op’s Heat Pump Challenge project funded by MCS Charitable Foundation and Electricity North West Powering our Communities Fund . \nOrganised in collaboration with People Powered Retrofit.
