Energy Efficiency in Your Community
19/04/2018 10:00 – 16:30 Location: B15 2AT
Community Energy England and Carbon Coop have joined forces to bring you a full day of workshops and presentations from industry experts and practitioners in energy efficiency and domestic retrofit.
The event is focused on practical skills to enable Community Energy organisations and partners to initiate, improve and extend energy efficiency services in their area.
Fuel Poverty and the Energy System
08/11/2017 10:00 – 16:00 Location: B4 6BS
The day will cover two elements related to fuel poverty.
The morning session will focus on the Fair Futures programme.
Energy Systems Catapult is developing a programme, Fair Futures, to understand the issues faced by different vulnerable energy consumers and identify the areas where commercial, governmental, community and householder needs and motivations could be aligned to provide more effective policies, products and services.
This interactive session with SHAP will explore what we already know about working with vulnerable people, what the underlying causes of fuel poverty are and ways to support them in the future.
The afternoon session will focus on technologies to aid Fuel Poverty.
With the increase in battery storage technology, you will hear from Sunamp on how their thermal storage works and, with the rise of electric vehicles and shifts in policy priorities in relation to energy and transport systems, Cenex will present on the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
SHAP ERDF WMHOG West Midlands New Build Housing Standard
16/11/2017 10:00 – 16:00 Location: B3 2ES
At this event we will give an introduction to the new ERDF calls in the Greater Birmingham and Solihull area and how this funding could be used to test new build innovation in projects developed to respond to the research findings based on the discussions at today’s event.
A WEST MIDLANDS PERFORMANCE STANDARD FOR NEW BUILD HOMES
Driving up quality and performance within a financially viable delivery model.
This is the final of four workshops discussing a West Midlands new build performance standard and the potential for ERDF grant to support innovative approaches to the delivery of high quality new build housing developments; striving for a replicable, scaleable approach to creating long term positive impact from investment in new housing being made now.
In this workshop we will be defining our proposal for a West Midlands new build standard for healthy homes, drawing on the previous three workshops. We will:
- discuss how to manage competing priorities within the current financial and regulatory context, and
- debate the potential for new approaches to determining value for money and how they can realistically and viably lead to delivery of a high quality, energy efficient national housing infrastructure.
Outcomes from this workshop will be shared at our event to launch the research interim report on 27 November 2017 at the HCA building, Birmingham City Centre.
This event is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund and by the West Midlands Housing Officers Group.
ERDF grant is available in most LEP areas currently. The Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP has calls open for gap funding innovative new build low carbon homes and projects involving land remediation and the creation of blue and green infrastructure.
SHAP ERDF WMHOG Research Interim Reports Launch
27/11/2017 10:00 – 13:00 Location: B3 2PW
In 2017, the West Midlands Housing Officers Group (WMHOG) has part funded research into three related issues where there is need, demand and an evidence base that business as usual will not deliver the high quality homes and national housing infrastructure required in the UK.
This morning event launches the interim findings of the SHAP WMHOG task and finish groups so that our wider networks and key UK innovators and leaders can comment and add their own thinking to the debate. The outcomes of the event will be taken forward in further research and the final outputs will be launched on 16 May 2018.
The event signposts to the opportunities to bid for ERDF to support innovative approaches to changing the way our housing stock is designed, built and managed.

BUILDING A HEALTHY HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE UK
27/11/2017 13:00 – 16:00 Location: B3 2PW
We know that ‘Business as usual’ is not delivering the high quality healthy homes and national housing infrastructure required in the UK.
This event builds on the launch of the interim findings of the SHAP 2017 research in the morning and, in this afternoon session we will look at the progress made on delivering the Bonfield Review findings and on the proposals by Energiesprong UK to build a volume deal for net zero energy homes in the UK.
