Date: Monday, 12 December, 2011 - 14:00 to 16:00Organisation: Cumbria Action for SustainabilityVenue: Newbiggin Village Hall, nr Penrith
This is a free event that CaFS is running to look at the impact of the recent changes in FITs, EPCs and the Green Deal.
The implications of the recent FITs review are enormous and are likely to disadvantage small local companies compared to national organisations like large energy companies and even supermarkets.
This event will look at Energy Performance Certificates - what is Band C?, outline what we know about the Green Deal , and discuss options for overcoming the issues locally, and how smaller businesses can compete with larger organisations. -
