21st April, 2022 – 10.00 – 12.00 (UK Time) (Webinar)
Building Efficiency Retrofit – Session 1
Digital Technologies to reduce heating costs and increase energy security
At this session we will highlight digital technologies offering new and cost-effective opportunities for reducing energy consumption in buildings. There is a range of technologies which can be retrofitted at scale in any type of building. What are these solutions, how effective are they, where should we start and what does it take to implement them? This is the first in a series of three session at which we will address these questions.
The Agenda includes the following topics (further details in attachment)
- Reality check – Building Efficiency – potential, priorities and ongoing projects in Stoke-on-Trent
- Solutions – Digital technologies and strategies reducing the need for heat
- Local Capacity Building – training centre and business hub in the Staffordshire region

No Time to Waste in Hamilton, Canada – Session 4
Bridge to the Future - Hamilton’s Role in a Regional Net-Zero Economy
This webinar will begin with takeaways from previous sessions and how global practices can be applied to create a best-in-class heat network in Hamilton and beyond. That will set the scene for an expert panel convened to help answer questions from various stakeholders, followed by analyses provided by key leaders representing industry, finance, energy, environmental science, and other sectors. The session will wrap up with a bold vision of a thermal corridor enabling regional growth, prosperity, and quality of life in a net-zero economy. Previous sessions are available on Hamilton Community Enterprises’ YouTube channel

Conserve & Connect – Recap of recent sessions
Building Efficiency and Network Asset Management
At this session we will make a review of technologies and best practice and for making buildings ready to connect, and for maximising performance and life span of heat networks.
The Agenda includes the following topics
- Course – The steps to net-zero heating – Conserve, Connect, Convert
- Conserve – Building efficiency – where and how to start
- Connect – How to maximise reliability, performance and life expectancy of networks
- Copy-Paste – Best practice in Sweden for maximising performance and life time of networks
