Struggling To Keep Up?
• Why we face constant regulatory change
• How have we arrived where we are today?
• What can we expect in the future?
• Key product issues now and in the future
• The probable industry response
Change Is Not Negotiable!• The Energy White Paper 2003 To put ourselves on the path to cut the UK’s CO2 emissions by some 60% by
about 2050, with real progress by 2020 To ensure every home is adequately and affordably heated To maintain the reliability of energy supplies
• The Energy Review 2005/6 Further action needed on climate change beyond 2012 Rising fuel prices UK is a net importer of gas and becoming a net oil importer

In A Nutshell
Buildings
Products
Supply
• Thermally efficient
• Air tight
• Lower heat demand
• Ventilation challenge
• Highly efficient
• Sustainable manufacture
• Local generation demand
• System specified
• Lower carbon central generation
• Financial incentives for local generation
• Electrical renaissance expected
• Better metering and tariff options
2006 Product Issues
• Mechanical ventilation expansion • Predictive controls for electric heating• Highly efficient direct/storage systems• Introduction of new renewable offers
– Solar Thermal– Heat pumps– Micro wind and photovoltaic modules
Life In 2010
• 20% further improvement in buildings
• Tougher challenges:– Diminishing returns on thermal performance– Hot water dominant, low heat load (1-2kW)– Adequate fresh air in an air tight house
• Probable emphasis towards ventilation, solar and heat pumps
2010 – Product Issues
• ‘Services’ integration (traditional heating/ventilation/renewables combinations)– Revised SAP approach– Clear package exemplars for dwelling types
• Consolidated supply routes(single supply and distribution/professional contractor relationships)– Product and design training– Marketing support– Design services
The Next 5 years
• Large manufacturers backing systems (big players will drive renewables)
• Distribution framework will converge (merchant and wholesaler takeovers)
• Introduction of Super Contractors(supported by manufacturers and aligned to the brands)
Change Can Be OK
• If you understand the policy vision
and
• If the industry works towards that vision…
in a focused and business like fashion.
