Great to see ADE members @WeAreInstaGroup showing @beisgovuk Secretary of State @AlokSharma_RDG how industry is gearing up to deliver the Green Homes Grant scheme that will create jobs and boost skills as part of the #GreenRecovery 1/3
For the Green Homes Grant to be the start of a longer term drive to retrofit our buildings to be #netzero, customers must have confidence and see this work for them, in their 🏠. With @TrustMarkUK and @McsCertified underpinning the scheme, quality assurance is at the ❤️ 2/3
But let's not stop there- increasing ambition on efficiency standards in areas including the Private Rented Sector can help turn jobs created through the scheme into prosperous green careers. Onwards! 3/3

An excellent session led by Andy Parker @officialcalor on 'Decarbonising heat in off gas grid rural homes'. The theme of #HeatDE20 is 'Levelling up with local energy' and this session was packed full of excellent insights
Rob Honeyman from @Ecuity_UK points out that support for multiple technologies will deliver decarbonisation of rural off gas grid houses at lower cost
Peter Smith from
@NEA_UKCharity agrees there are 'no silver bullets' for rural household heating. Do we hear an echo?! Yes we do! An excellent and shared message cropping up in many sessions at #HeatDE20 Thanks, @peterwsmith101 💪

Charlotte Owen is leading a convo on 'Right thing, right place: Delivering regionally' #HeatDE20 and has shared that from a poll of a whopping 140 industry members, *89%* agree we need a 'Centralised policy framework that requires local authorities to undertake zoning over time'
Keith Owen at @NGNgas is emphasising the importance of close collaboration with local authorities and local stakeholders. It's important to consider scale- this is essential to ensure neighbouring LA's can provide an excellent service #HeatDE20
Matthew Billson @beisgovuk says: we don't think there is a silver bullet for reaching net zero, we must look at all the technologies. Including many decentralised technologies, our department has a very large portfolio!

Our #HeatDE20 session on activating householders and engaging the disengaged is now in full swing, with @drobsoninsta of @WeAreInstaGroup currently speaking on the opportunities brought about by the green homes grant 💡
@ClemCowton from @octopus_energy speaks about their breadth of xp engaging the customer. Take the brilliant octopus.energy/blog/wheel-of-… which brought forward 8k meter readings on 🎄🧑‍🎄. If you build something that is intuitive and engaging- they will come!
.@drobsoninsta from @WeAreInstaGroup reflects on being involved in Gov energy efficiency schemes for a decade+: We need to learn from previous experience but also look at innovative ways of engaging with consumers- they want to engage in different ways than they did 10 years ago!

🔊Hear Hear! 🔊 As the @theCCCuk says - The number 1 #GreenRecovery priority for Government must be backing a national buildings renovation programme:
Better buildings will create a whopping 50k real quantifiable green-collar jobs in the next two years and ~200k by 2050, as shown by @eeiguk and hnic.uk
Better buildings will predominantly create jobs outside of the South-East – putting decarbonisation to work to level up our regions, as @ECIU_UK have found eciu.net/news-and-event…

Improving the #energyefficiency of buildings is fundamentally about both today and the future. Here are 5 reasons we think building retrofit should form a key part of the #GreenRecovery:
1)It's an infrastructure project that can start now and will span decades, providing sustained employment opportunities across the UK and building a skilled, green workforce. @VividEconomics/@wwf_uk research found that 85,000 direct jobs are created to 2030 through green retrofit
2)It enables exciting new, low carbon heating options, such as heat networks that utilise waste heat from the underground or abandoned coal mines. These innovative solutions are vital to the future of heat decarbonisation and are not viable in cold and draughty buildings.
