Saving energy at home with a heat pump (myth busting)

Grand Designs Magazine Theatre, 12pm

Electricity is becoming increasingly low carbon, as more renewable sources are connected to the electricity grid, replacing existing gas and coal power stations. This makes a heat pump an extremely low carbon heating option, and increasingly so as our electricity grid further decarbonises. 

Low carbon living: saving energy at home

Grand Designs Magazine Theatre, 2pm

Changing your habits at home can help you save energy and money on your bills. Some common household items are more energy consuming than others and it can be difficult to know how to use them efficiently to help you reduce your energy bill. Here, we will explore low carbon living and the greenest way to heat your home. 

Saving energy with smart systems

Sustainable Future Theatre, 3pm

When considering smart home systems, it can be difficult to understand how they can help you save on your energy bill. Join our experts to look at the future of home energy systems and how smart control and flexible operation can optimise costs and save carbon.
