HVAC & Refrigeration Live
BUILDING REGULATIONS UPDATE A MUST- ATTEND SEMINAR
In October of this year, the Government launched a consultation proposing changes to the Building Regulations to improve the energy efficiency of new homes from 2020
T
his consultation closes in January, but those for existing domestic and non- residential buildings are sure to follow in the coming months. The new homes consultation lays out the Governments plans for its Future Homes Standard which is to be introduced by 2025, a milestone on the way to achieving net zero by 2050.
The plan is to uplift Part L and make changes to Part F to take a ‘fabric first’ approach. The main question is whether the regulations will focus on very high fabric standards alone, or a combination of fabric and low carbon renewables such as solar PV. It has been suggested that Government favours the PV approach.
But the devil is in the detail and there will be a seminar during the Climate Action event at HVACR Live on April 21 dedicated to updating visitors in terms of what to expect and the potential impact.
With such fast changing legislation and challenges facing business, HVACR Live will be kicking off on April 20 with an overview of F-Gas, where we are now and what the future will bring. The highlight of the day
will be a panel discussing the Brexit landscape as it lies in April and how it affects the HVACR sector. Climate Action on the
following day will include panels of experts discussing ‘Sustainability and the Performance Gap’ and the highly contentious ‘Hydrogen vs Heat Pump’ debate. Other speakers include Peter Dyment from Camfil who will be educating visitors about Indoor Air Quality and Andrea Voight
April 20-22 Excel London

from EPEE who will be talking about ‘Count on Cooling as an Enabler for Carbon Neutrality’.
Skills, training and education
The third day will be focussing on skills, training and education of people, from young people accessing the industry through to teaching old engineers new tricks.
Neil Hitchin from TCUK will be ‘Raising the Bar on ACR Training’, discussing initiatives such as SkillFRIDGE. Graeme Fox, head of Refcom, will be tackling the contentious issue of mandatory upskilling on flammable refrigerants while Jane Gartshore, projects consultant at Cool Concerns, educates visitors ion the Pressure Equipment Directive. Product-focussed seminars will be running alongside all of this and with such a diverse programme over the three day event, HVACR Live is set to be the must-attend event of 2020.
