8th NHER (National Home Energy Rating) National Conference
4 - 5 February 2004
Royal College of Physicians, London NW1 The energy efficiency industry is fast approaching a dramatic and fundamental transformation. In 2 years time, the implications of the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings will be felt - with all buildings receiving a certificate of energy performance whenever they are constructed, sold or rented out. Throughout 2004 we will see plans confirmed to enable this to happen. In the domestic sector this is expected to happen via the Housing Bill and changes to the Building Regulations. In addition, there will be new Energy Efficiency Commitment and Warm Front schemes in 2005, both of which will be defined during 2004.The conference programme features speakers from a wide range of key industry bodies and government agencies. There are also five workshop sessions where you can discuss common issues with industry experts.For further details here
