BUILDING SENSE

BUILDING SENSE from HGN brings together people, information and professional expertise to help with the challenge of making homes (and workplaces) comfortable year-round in the face of high heating bills and the need to cut carbon emissions.

Energy expert and data modeller Duncan Sluce will present the key factors in selecting and sizing the right green technologies to decarbonise your home and lower your energy bills. This will help you gauge the return on your investment, both in terms of carbon and cost savings per pound spent.By considering the energy demands of two UK house types - modern cavity built and older homes - we will discuss:<ul><li>How green technology can be used to reduce carbon emissions and energy bills </li><li>The balance between green technologies that gives the best return on investment and provides the best carbon savings</li><li>The optimal solar PV and battery sizing option</li><li>The impact that variable ('time of use') electricity tariffs can have on energy bills when combined with green technology</li><li>Heating options compared: change to a heat pump or supplement existing boilers with other heating technologies, ie a hybrid system</li><li>The main issues to understand when retrofitting a house, using a real life case study</li><li>Options suitable for harder to treat homes, and what limitations there are</li></ul> Duncan is an experienced energy analyst and modeller, specialising in energy scenarios, forecasts and cost benefit analysis. He has considerable experience with both gas and electricity, supply and demand. His speciality is understanding how these interact, from his work leading the whole energy systems modelling in the National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios team for some years. Here he focused on detailed domestic energy use, most notably for heating, and domestic energy efficiency. He continues this work as director of Data Energy and Climate Change Limited (DECCC), which he established in 2019.
