Regeneration – The Whole Picture

Thursday 17th and Friday 18th May 2012 in Cardiff

The Whole Picture programme

What are the challenges facing the regeneration of our communities? What do we need to do and what can we learn from others?

These are the questions being posed at this conference organised by Warm Wales Cymru Gynnes and supported by the Welsh School of Architecture, the European Housing Ecology Network (EHEN) and BRE.

A substantial amount of regeneration work has been undertaken in Wales in both the social and private housing sector, and the conference will see the launch of the ARBED Phase 1 report, looking at some of the lessons learnt from the Welsh Government funded project.

In addition to looking at the social, economic, technological and funding aspects of regeneration, we’ll hear first hand from respected individuals Erik Christiansen of Denmark, Luc Stijnen of Belgium and Peder Vejsig (tbc) of Denmark on how both community and housing regeneration and the integration of renewable technologies is addressed in other parts of Europe.

Our speakers will include Jane Davidson, Director of INSPIRE and former Minister for Environment and Sustainability, Craig Anderson Projects Director at Warm Wales, Nick Tune from BRE and Richard Grant OBE.

There is an additional element to the event which you may attend separately or as part of the conference. On the Friday morning (18^th) Adfer Ban a Chwm, whose aim is to turn derelict vernacular buildings in rural Wales into affordable homes for local people, will be hosting a morning workshop looking at affordable rural housing, derelict vernacular buildings, rural enterprise and how we can produce realistic solutions.

There is no charge for the event but we do reserve the right to make a £50 non-attendance charge on any registered delegate who does not attend on the the day.

To reserve your place complete the booking form and return to us at events@warmwales.org.uk. Full venue details will be provided with your booking confirmation.

CESP Workshop – Monday 27th February –
BRE Wales, Ethos, Swansea Waterfront, SA1 8AS

If you have housing stock in CESP recognised areas, now is the time to act.

CESP funding is increasing almost weekly as the Utilities must spend their budgets by Autumn 2012. Therefore, it is now possible to get up to 100% of the cost of installing measures such as solid wall insulation, loft top up, replacement boilers etc (providing they are in CESP areas).

On February 27^th Warm Wales with BRE will be holding a workshop to explain how CESP works, how to make sure you get the highest £ per tonne of CO2 saved, and the technical and practical considerations of installing the measures.

The workshop will be held at the BRE Wales office – Ethos, Kings Road, Swansea Waterfront, SA1 8AS from 10am with buffet lunch at 12pm. Pay and display parking available at SA1.
