SUMMARY:Historic Buildings Challenge: Carbon Reduction & Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Virtual workshop for historic building owners\, managers and occupiers within the Square Mile \nThis Historic Building Challenge\, as part of the City Corporation’s wider Climate Action Strategy\, is a research and collaborative knowledge sharing project to create a one-stop resource that recognises and shares best practice advice and case studies. \nThe historic environment expert team at Purcell Architects have been commissioned by the City of London to help you understand and navigate the obstacles that can seem daunting and expensive to overcome when adapting a historic building. \nFollowing a sold-out breakfast launch workshop on the 24th January\, this virtual session builds on this feedback and introduces the new engagement hub on Commonplace. \nWe need to hear from you; your experiences\, the challenges you face and the actions you are taking to help identify the most time and cost-effective solutions that can best protect\, enhance and sustain the value of your heritage asset. \nJoin us at this virtual morning workshop and help shape the Historic Buildings Carbon Reduction and Climate Resilience Challenge.

SUMMARY:Day seminar: The Future of Energy in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Deputy Master\, Kenneth Cupitt in his responsibility as a member of the Education Committee has organised an all-day seminar on the topic “The Future of Energy” at Glaziers’ Hall\, with six speakers comprising business owners and decision makers will share their views on both the provision of energy for the country and what alternative choices may be available for future opportunities. \nInformation shared by the speakers will help business leaders make the right decisions over the next decade and learn what the UK Government\, and the supply industry\, is having to put in place for economic green energy. Topics will include: \n\nNuclear Energy (both Fusion and Fission will be covered and what Rolls Royce are developing with mini reactors for regional generation);\nMaking money from Sources of Energy (Ways of Cutting the Costs of Energy in a Business\, how to store energy in times of plenty for use in times of shortages\, achieving cost cutting by enabling businesses to trade energy);\nRooftop Solar Panels and PV Modules (advantages of using Solar Energy\, reduced Electricity Bill\, Return on Investment\, Renewable Energy\, Environmentally Friendly\, Energy Independence). A photovoltaic system or solar power system is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics;\nAdding Hydrogen to Supplement Natural Gas (now that trials of the addition of hydrogen to gas have been completed what it will do to benefit us all);\nHydrogen as a Fuel for Delivery Vehicles (there is unlikely to be enough Lithium to power storage batteries in the short term\, but larger vehicles are also likely to be powered by hydrogen to carry the bulky items and for the driving range);\nHeat Pump Technology (the conclusion\, thus far\, is that for heat pumps\, ammonia is thermodynamically the best refrigerant in the field of operation for comfort cooling and is also safer than using Fluorocarbons).

SUMMARY:Webinar : Preparing for Combustion Transition: A framework for accelerating our transition to Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Preparing for Combustion Transition: A framework for accelerating our transition to Net Zero Webinar \nPresented by Professor Simon Spooner\, Principal Scientist\, Atkins Infrastructure. \nAbout this Webinar\nWe have grown prosperous and numerous by burning and consuming the products of biological systems of the past and present. We have now learnt how to get what we need without having to do this anymore. We just have to get on and manage the transition to embracing and stewarding our world instead of consuming it. In this talk I will set out some concepts and principles for this\, some metrics to measure with and some plans and tools to help manage the transition. Then\, as Water Conservators and Livery Companies\, what might we be able to contribute here in the City? Can we develop alternative approaches to offsetting that will be more effective? Can the City lead in changing its infrastructure to eliminate combustion in our buildings and transport and so attain net zero? \nAbout the Speaker\nProf Simon Spooner is an environmental scientist applying scientific models combined with social\, economic\, political and regulatory methods to address the challenges that we face and help build better infrastructure systems. Currently his main activities are: as a senior expert advisor on the UK\nHealth Security Agency programme to develop wastewater epidemiology based responses to the Covid-19 pandemic; applying his SimBasinQ river basin water quality model to address the impact of wastewater discharges on our rivers; and developing nature based catchment solutions to flooding\,\nwater quality\, water resources\, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. He has developed the combustion transition framework\, an innovative approach to integrating GHG emissions reductions and land-use based regeneration of natural processes with a framework of metrics and economic\ntools to facilitate an accelerated transition to net-zero. \nOver the last 30 years as a consultant with Atkins and before that Mott MacDonald he worked about half his time overseas\, mostly in China\, on major World Bank\, EU and UK government projects in urban environment development\, energy systems and environmental policy. He was Technical Director for water and environment for Atkins in China mostly delivering urban planning projects. More recently he worked in partnership with KPMG for the UK FCDO in China on the development of environmental governance processes and access to international financing for infrastructure projects under China’s Belt and Road programme. In the UK he mostly worked for water companies in wastewater and river basin management and in water industry regulatory processes. \nHe is an honorary professor at Nottingham university in Ningbo and UK campuses and a visiting professor at many universities in China as well as Cambridge University in UK. He has written and edited a number of books on water and environmental management\, regulation and adaption of European approaches to China for OECD\, FWR\, EU and Chinese publishers. What he really enjoys is building on the latest science and digital systems to innovate and find simpler integrated solutions to complex problems. \nRegister for this event here: Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Future Water Resources: A Briefing on Thames Water's Plan
DESCRIPTION:Thames Water are developing a Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) to find ways to adapt to our changing climate\, supply water to more people as our population grows and reduce the amount of water we take from our rivers to protect the environment. Further to the launch of the plan in December 2022\, there will be a briefing at Walbrook Wharf\, 20 Cousin Lane\, Blackfriars at 2:00pm on 28 February 2023. It is anticipated that the presentation and Q&A would last for about two hours. \nAs you may be aware The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) published a report in 2018 ‘Preparing for a drier future’ which set out the significant challenges we face on water supply and the need to take action. This work prompted the first National Framework for Water Resources published by the Environment Agency in 2020 which requires water companies to collaborate to develop plans that consider their regional water needs. Five regional groups were set up and tasked with developing plans for a secure and sustainable water supply in their region\, and also that the regional plans should then fit together to provide a joined-up national solution. \nOver the past two years Thames Water has been working closely with Water Resources South East (WRSE) and the other five water companies across the SE region\, regulators\, stakeholders and customers to ensure that there is an effective regional plan for this area. The regional plan will deliver an appropriate level of drought resilience for the long term and combine demand management\, including reducing leakage\, and long term investment in water supply infrastructure. The regional plans are also crucial to support climate change resilience. WRSE published the draft SE regional plan for consultation in November 2021\, click here to read the plan and join in the consultation\, which ends on 20 February 2023. The SE regional plan has informed our draft statutory WRMP\, the website setting out our plans is available at https://thames-wrmp.co.uk where you can also respond to our consultation\, which ends on 21 March 2023. \nIf you would like to attend the proposed briefing please can you respond by email to Phil.Stride@thameswater.co.uk .
