Energy Technologies in New Developments seminar

University of Exeter

27 September 2005

Increasingly policies at all levels of government require greater consideration and understanding of climate change and energy issues in the development of new buildings. Plans for major urban extensions and new settlements across the South West of England create challenges for developers, landowners, architects, planners and building professionals. How can the industry meet growing policy requirements and satisfy investor and consumer demands within the economics of today's development industry?

Woking Borough Council's Executive Director Ray Morgan

The Energy Technologies in New Developments seminar covered the latest issues in energy and climate change which effect new developments, including:

• Current & emerging policy regarding energy for new developments direct from the policy makers.
• Case studies of new developments that have successfully used best practice energy technologies.
• How using best practice energy technologies in new developments can create added value.

It was supported by the Government Office for the South West, the South West Regional Assembly, the South West Regional Development Agency, the Housing Corporation, the Royal Bank of Scotland, the University of Exeter, Future Foundations & Devon County Council.
