NEW RESEARCH TO ADDRESS NET ZERO SKILLS CHALLENGE
E
ngineering services alliance Actuate UK is working with Energy Systems Catapult (a centre of excellence for energy systems innovation and transformation
for Net Zero) on a strategy to boost the creation of a skilled workforce that will play a central role in reducing emissions from the built environment and deliver on the government carbon targets. The built environment is responsible for more than 40% of all carbon emissions and skills shortages in key engineering professions can threaten to derail the UK’s plans for decarbonising buildings and preparing the UK for a Net Zero economy. Moreover, the Net Zero challenge will require the sector to look to people with IT/digital, creative, energy systems, and Artifi cial Intelligence skills, as well as more ‘traditional’ engineering. These are the issues to be tackled by this new strategic
research project, funded by the Engineering Services Training Trust (ESTTL), with the outcomes to be shared with partner industry organisations in the umbrella body Actuate UK so the improved understanding and training innovations can benefi t the whole engineering services sector. The research will also seek to quantify the benefi ts to business from having well-trained, competent people, and
the business case for companies to be involved in skills development. The Energy Systems Catapult capabilities director,
Richard Halsey, said: “We’re embarking on an in-depth study of the built environment sector, aiming to take a once in a generation opportunity to produce ‘a robust strategy’ to transform the culture to encourage upskilling and unleash innovation. “Net Zero buildings need to work for the people who use them…that won’t happen unless the workforce knows how to plan, design and deliver to meet those needs and can do so to the pace and scale needed to meet the challenge of climate change.” Helen Yeulet, director of training and skills of Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), who also leads the Actuate UK Skills Group, will be working with ESC and industry stakeholders on this project. “To remain at the heart of the Net Zero discussion we must ensure we have a suitably trained workforce with a range of new skills to go with the technical and process innovations our sector has already developed. “Our work with the ESC will help to clarify what
strategies and innovations we need to make progress”, she added.
ISH CHINA & CIHE OFFER OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA’S HVAC INDUSTRY
C
hina’s international trade fair for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sanitation &
home comfort systems, ISH China & CIHE, is scheduled to take place from 9 – 11 May 2022 at the new China International Exhibition Center in Beijing. Organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co and CIEC
GL events (Beijing) International Exhibition Co the show will focus on three themes: Energy, Water and Life, which are in line with China’s national development strategies. Covering the latest HVAC, plumbing, smart heating and
home comfort technologies and products in the Chinese and wider Asian markets, the fair is expected to welcome over 1,300 exhibitors to showcase their latest innovations across eight halls spanning a total of 106,800m2. Recognising the importance and future growth
prospects in China led by the green initiatives highlighted within the latest national policies, exhibitors are ready to present their latest collection of innovative solutions and products to international and domestic visitors. Leading domestic and international brands have already confi rmed their attendance and intention to
display state-of-the-art products. For the past couple of years, the
fair’s thematic zones have become the key component to its success. Apart from the returning German Pavilion, Overseas Area, Water Pump Zone, Floor Heating and Cooling System Area and Clean Energy District
Heating Area, the fair will feature the new Minibox Service Area located in the Overseas Area. It is a business matching platform at ISH China & CIHE to bridge domestic suppliers with overseas buyers who cannot physically attend the fair. Running from 9 – 11 May, the Minibox Service Area serves as a marketing tool for local suppliers to promote their latest innovations and technologies abroad. Similar to last year, various product categories will be
arranged into diff erent halls to make it more convenient for participants to navigate the fair. The fair’s Energy theme will be highlighted throughout the entire exhibition centre and will feature various heat generation, fl oor heating, heat distribution, smart heating, industrial heating and air conditioning solutions.
