THE BASICS OF HEAT PUMPS
Tue 19th October, 4-5pm. BOOK HERE.
Decarbonising heat is key to achieving Net Zero Carbon. One way to achieve this is to install a heat pump, but this is only suitable in certain circumstances.
This workshop will look at the basics of heat pumps (mainly air source and ground source heat pumps). It will discuss their use, where heat pumps work well, and how to make sure their use is optimised.
The session will also look at some of the common problems that occur with heat pumps. It will give an indication of costs for church installations, but these are very case-by-case.
Speaker: Mark Taylor from TM Energy Solutions is speaking on behalf of the Energy Managers Association. The EMA is dedicated to establishing best-practice in Energy Management and putting Energy Management at the heart of British business.
CONSERVATION PITFALLS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM, EN ROUTE TO NET ZERO CARBON.
Two options: Thur 18th Nov, 4-5pm. BOOK HERE
and Tue 7th Dec, 12-1pm BOOK HERE
This webinar will cover
• some of the conservation pitfalls that projects often encounter, when trying to make environmental changes to historic buildings, and how to avoid them,
• questions people can ask themselves at the very beginning of a project, which will help get projects on the right track,
• examples of changes which can be made that are good environmentally and good for the conservation of historic buildings / interiors.
Speaker: Tobit Curteiss, Architectural Conservator at Tobit Curteis Associates LLP. Tobit runs a practice specialising in the diagnosis and control of environmental deterioration in historic buildings and the conservation of wall paintings. As well as extensive work with churches and cathedrals, Tobit also works for private and institutional clients, including English Heritage, the National Trust, and Historic Royal Palaces.

GETTING TO "YES" FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS - SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING THE FACULTY SYSTEM
Mon 22nd Nov - noon-1:30pm. BOOK HERE
This webinar will focus on the practicalities of how churches who want to carry out environmentally-minded projects (insulation, heating, solar, EV car charging and the like) can best navigate the faculty system. How can they ‘get to yes’ by designing the right project and making their case well?
To cover:
• What can churches do within list A, list B, and what needs full faculty, and why?
• Who should they get input from, and when, in the process?
• How do they prepare and present their application? What information is needed? What does a good project look like?
• What will their archdeacon want to know, and why? What will the DAC want to know? If it comes to the Church Buildings Council, what will the CBC want to know?
Panel:
• Ven Malcolm Chamberlain, Archdeacon of Sheffield & Rotherham,
• Lisa McIntyre, the Leeds Diocese DAC Secretary,
• Keri Dearmer, an experienced case officer in the national Cathedral and Church Buildings Division,
• Nigel Walter, a conservation architect and member of the Church Buildings Council.
Note - this webinar is 1.5 hours long.
FINDING THE BALANCE : ASSESSING EMBODIED CARBON IN RETROFIT PROJECTS ON CHURCH BUILDINGS
Tues 30th November, 12:00-13:00. BOOK HERE.
When considering strategies to reduce emissions in operation, there is a danger that the measures themselves could cause more emissions in the manufacture and installation than they would save in practice - and thus achieves the opposite of what is desired.
This is a particular risk in large buildings with relatively low energy demand, especially those used only intermittently. It is thus necessary to be able to compare "embodied" and "operational" carbon emissions and to understand how a changing energy supply matrix affects decisions in the long run.
The webinar will provide participants with the basic information required to understand the subject, and a framework for making decisions which take embodied carbon into account.
Speakers: Nigel Griffiths, Policy Adviser for the Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance and Douglas Kent, Technical and Research Director, Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
