DRIVING GREEN POLICIES FORWARD
DECC Keynote Speaker on Green Deal
Third GAIN Conference – Sponsored by Worcester Bosch
10 November 2011, Manchester United FC
Accompanying Exhibition Now Taking Bookings
‘Driving green policies forward – for energy efficient heating coupled
with renewables’ will be the theme for this year’s national conference
and exhibition, organised by the Grant Aided Heating Installers Network,
to be held at Manchester United Football Club, Old Trafford, Manchester,
on Thursday, 10 November 2011.
This follows-up last year’s successful Conference and
exhibition ‘Will Incentives Move the Renewables Market?’, but this time
concentrating on the important role renewables are playing in new
government policies. Setting the scene, as Keynote speaker for the
Conference, will be David Purdy, who heads the Green Deal team at the
Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). He will be updating
delegates on the detail of Green Deal and progress to-date. This is the
third national Conference to be organised by GAIN, the last one in 2010
attracting some 300 delegates from RSLs and the heating and renewables
industry.
Chairing the Conference will be Tim Pollard, Director of the
Sustainable Building Center (Wolseley) at Royal Leamington Spa,
Warwickshire. The Center exhibits all the latest renewable technology
and Tim will be updating the meeting on measures now available to the
market place. Similarly Steve Lister of the Worcester, Bosch Group, will
give an appraisal of the latest heating technology. Worcester, Bosch, a
leader in this field, is the main sponsor of the Conference.
Other speakers will include an energy supplier, who will
explain the practicalities of introducing Green Deal; and case studies
by RSLs, who have installed heat pumps, solar panels and other
renewables.
The Conference will be illustrated by its companion
exhibition – now taking bookings. Major suppliers, showing heating
boilers, controls and ancillary equipmentment; renewables, including
photovoltaic and solar panels, ground and air source heat pumps etc, and
insulation measures, will be exhibiting at this well-rounded exhibition.
Registered Social Landlords and other specifiers, government
agencies, energy suppliers, and the contracting and supplying industry
for heating and renewables are invited to attend this well focussed
conference and exhibition. Places are free for specifiers including
lunch and entry to the diverse exhibition; and £54.00 (including VAT)

experts, as well as take in the atmosphere, or participate in a tour, of
