Target audience

Retrofit Solutions for the Housing Sector 2012 will bring together 150 senior decision makers from the retrofit supply chain. Delegates can expect to network with senior representatives from local authorities, RSLs, ALMOs, contractors and consultancies.

These will include directors and heads of:

  • Sustainability
  • Planning
  • Housing
  • Community Engagement
  • Asset Management

 

Retrofit Solutions for the Housing Sector 2012 presents this year’s only opportunity to meet and connect with this industry-wide spread of senior decision makers.

The Event Itself

Retrofit Solutions for the Housing Sector 2012 will build on the success of last year’s conference, which focussed strongly on overcoming the challenges of retrofitting large stocks of social housing.

This year the top-level industry speakers will also be addressing the difficulties associated with owner-occupier engagement. With this group accounting for 68% of Britain’s homes (JRF “Home Ownership and Poverty in Britain”, 2003) this is perhaps the greatest challenge to meeting the Government’s target of an 80% drop in carbon emissions by 2050.

Finally, with the Green Deal officially starting from October, delegates will hear from colleagues already establishing their organisations as Green Deal Providers, including Birmingham City Council’s work on sourcing funding for the programme.

Attracting 150 senior decision makers from the retrofit supply chain, the conference will also facilitate networking through round-table discussions and catering in a focussed exhibition space.

The agenda for the event is available to download from the ICE website.
