BEAMA Net-Zero by Design launch

10 September 2019, One Great George Street

 

Net-Zero by Design- an industry commitment and view on the road to 2050

 

The BEAMA Senior Sector Council have set out their commitment to the Net Zero 2050 target.  BEAMA Members are invited to attend a launch event for our Net-Zero by Design report, setting out industry’s commitment to this target and view on how to ensure net-zero can be commercially viable for businesses and consumers.

BEAMA accepts the need for urgent action to reduce the devastating global effects of climate change.  We have an important role in ensuring the emission reductions necessary and enhancing the supply chains needed to deliver on this. Here we are making a firm commitment to do so and work with Government to ensure strong leadership from industry and Government is achieved in developing robust long-term policy and regulation to support the market and drive investment.

 This is the first time BEAMA industries have made such a commitment and we will use the event as opportunity to highlight key areas of work we are already delivering on to achieve the level of ambition necessary - including the future of electric heating, building regulations and electricity network investment planning. 

If you are a BEAMA member and wish to attend the above event please email  [email protected] for further information.

Legrand is the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, offering high-value-added products and solutions for commercial, residential and industrial buildings.  In the UK the business is organised into six business units: cable management; power distribution; wiring devices; assisted living & healthcare; digital infrastructures; and energy controls.  We manufacture approximately 80% of the products we sell in the UK, which means we have local expertise in research and development, design, production and technical support. 

At Legrand, we are committed to regularly improving the way we operate to ensure our manufacturing processes and practices are sustainable and reduce our impact on the environment. As part of Legrand’s commitment to help to improve efficiency and reduce carbon we have launched an energy efficiency programme.  This programme offers a set of solutions covering all of a building’s electrical and digital infrastructure.  From lighting control to green transformers and high efficiency busbar, we have a broad range of energy efficiency products and can advise on the best approach to ensure that businesses reach efficiency goals. 

For specifiers and those working throughout the construction industry, understanding the importance of efficiency in buildings is a vital part of day-to-day operations.  However, keeping abreast of all the available products and potential payback can be difficult and often requires phased implementation.  Legrand’s customer centric approach is designed to meet the demands of today and facilitate the objectives of the future, arming specifiers with the information they need to find the right solutions for a project.

The Vaillant Group has a growing focus on products and systems that use renewable energy. There is a growing demand for these products across Europe, and the focus of the Group in this area relates strongly to heat pumps, which utilise the heat from the earth or the ambient air, and solar thermal systems. The development of Hybrid systems which combine renewable energies with heating appliances to create highly efficient and intelligent systems, is also a key focus area for the business.

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of environment-friendly heating and air-conditioning technology, sustainability plays an integral role in the Vaillant Group’s activities. Home and world climate are inseparable and modern heating technology can today make an important contribution to achieving climate protection targets. In the UK alone, replacing an old heating system with a new high efficiency boiler can save more than 30 % of energy a year, and reduce CO2 emissions by a corresponding 30%. Sustainable heating is central to the Vaillant Group and its operation.
