NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
