JUST ANNOUNCED: Navigating the AI Frontier: Carbon Cost vs. Green Opportunity Webinar (Tues 29th September)

AI is everywhere right now, but what does its meteoric rise actually mean for the planet? Following the incredible interest and curiosity sparked at recent Fit for the Future member meetups and at many member virtual discussion groups, it’s clear that many of us are asking the same questions: Is AI a climate villain due to its massive energy footprint, or is it our greatest ally in driving sustainable innovation?

To help demystify the noise, Fit for the Future member the Caravan and Motorhome Club—alongside their technology partner T-Systems—presents a dedicated, cut-through-the-jargon seminar designed specifically for our sustainability community.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Simpler Recycling Regulations and the Deposit Return Scheme (including Reverse Vending Machines) with the Environment Agency Webinar (Thurs 15th October)

COMING SOON: Delivering Decarbonised Heating Webinar (Thurs 2nd July, 10:30 – 12:00)

How do you heat buildings to ensure that occupants are comfortable and the building fabric is maintained in the context of UK net zero targets, UK energy strategy, and increasing energy costs?

Organisations and individuals managing buildings of all types and sizes face ever increasing heating challenges against the backdrop of the need to reduce carbon emissions and the huge rises in energy costs.  Whether you own or look after a historic building, visitor/event space, community/education centre, charity shop, places of worship, office, residential, or catering facilities the challenges are significant. 

The session will outline the solutions used and recommended in estates including energy efficiency measures, improvements to the building fabric and the different types of heat pumps and other heating solutions.
