A choice of four interactive workshops at the BMF All Industry Conference in June will give delegates an opportunity to discuss some of the most pertinent issues facing the industry.
One of the workshops – Energy Efficiency Policy: Fact, Fiction or Fad? – is led by our Merchant Development Director Mike Beard, who will also chair the session, and Commercial Director Steve Duke of Knauf Insulation. Ian McConville, Group Procurement Director of MKM, will also contribute with a merchant’s view.
The 45-minute workshop will update delegates on the Government’s latest energy efficiency policy and the opportunities this, along with the continual development of Building Regulations, will create for the building materials industry in the coming years before opening the discussion up with a Q&A with delegates.
Mike comments: “We are pleased to be leading the debate on such a crucial issue. Our country is amid an energy crisis and developing an effective long-term plan to save energy and improve the thermal performance of our buildings is paramount.
“According to the Climate Change Committee, 20 million homes need some form of retrofit energy improvement, with a high percentage requiring internal or external wall insulation.
“Insulating properties is the most cost-effective way to reducing fuel bills so it’s vital energy efficiency is prioritised across all our housing stock – new and old – and all other buildings too. An effective retrofit scheme, and one that develops into a long-term national infrastructure project with cross party support, ensures longevity and delivery and drives benefits for our climate and to the country’s energy security too.
“I’m looking forward to a lively and productive session on this important topic and debating the opportunities and potential challenges for our industry.”
