The Microgeneration Certification Scheme Made Easy
Monday 15th of March 2010
This one day course aims to assist installers with the MCS Certification process and will help delegates implement an MCS-QMS in their own business. Delegates will be supplied with their own Company MCS Quality Manual and the day will cover the 19 steps required within MCS001. Although MCS Made Easy does not guarantee passing an MCS accreditation process, it should very significantly reduce the time you require to obtain MCS and also minimise the number of non-conformances your company receives from your Certification Body. In this way, the course should act as very significant value for money. We also hope that by working to MCS quality procedures, your company further raises its own quality systems and so gains a competitive advantage.
Location: 09.00-17.00 Venue: Armada House, Bristol

Oil, Carbon and Opportunity: Positive Solutions for Bristol
Thursday 18th of March 2010
The coming decade presents enormous opportunities for Bristol and Bristol businesses. The city has to double the carbon efficiency of the city's homes, transport and economy. This means significant new investment and will deliver reductions in emissions of 40% - beyond the national targets - making our city more resilient and prosperous. Realising this opportunity will involve changes; from the way we generate and distribute energy to how we meet our needs for goods and services in the city. If Bristol and its business sector plan now and act quickly, we stand to be one of the leading cities in Europe. Join us at this free event to explore how we can realise these opportunities. Chair: Alan Bailey, Bristol Environmental Technologies Sector, ABS Renewables, SW Innovation Network Speakers: Cllr Barbara Janke, Leader, Bristol City Council The council's vision for Bristol as a successful, low carbon city Ian Hutchcroft, Regional Manager, Energy Saving Trust South West Delivering 40% by 2020 - some options for debate:  The Low Carbon Transition Plan - what does it mean for businesses in the West?  Scale of growth in the region from an expanded sector  Benefits of increased energy security Tony Norton, Head of Low-carbon Development, Regen South West A regional perspective on new build low carbon development including:  Experience from Cranbrook and Plymouth  The potential role of imported and exported heat to/from new developments  Biomass CHP and bio-resource supply  The implications for Bristol's Urban Extensions Joshua Thumin, Head of Research & Policy Analysis, Centre for Sustainable Energy How Bristol can reach sustainable energy production and use:  District Heating - feasibility, demand and location  Opportunities for growth - priority heat areas  Moving from the evidence base to action David Bishop, Strategic Director, City Development, Bristol City Council Policy as framework for development and the context for opportunity:  The Climate Change and Energy Security Framework  What the council and partners are already doing To book your place, email green.capital@bristol.gov.uk

Offshore Wind & Transmission Europe
Tuesday 30th of March 2010
Offshore wind projects are at a stage of mass development in Europe with 1.5GW of offshore wind projects already operating and a further 100GW at the planning and development stages. The key challenges now are to create a policy framework that supports the development of offshore wind and to develop a successful approach for the operation of a transnational grid; ensuring international electricity trading becomes a reality and contributes towards our low carbon future. The 2nd annual Offshore Wind and Transmission congress will examine the key aspects of offshore wind development, drawing on case study experiences from operational farms and providing first class networking opportunities with the whole offshore value chain.
