Market-leading home energy specialist SIG Energy Management’s stand (N830, North Hall) at Ecobuild 2013 will be this year’s main attraction for delegates wanting to dissect and discuss the Energy Company Obligation (ECO).
Alongside the Green Deal, ECO is going to be the key challenge for the coming year, according to SIG Energy Management’s MD Neil Donald – with everyone from energy companies and housing associations to the tenants themselves needing to work together to find a solution.
“To iron out exactly how we can approach this challenging new government target, we need honest, open debate between government, industry, housing associations and tenants,” says Neil. “We intend for our stand at Ecobuild to be a hub for all things ECO – a chance for delegates to come and have full and frank conversations about what needs to be done.”
Working in partnership with a range of suppliers, partners and customers, SIG Energy Management will be delivering a programme of seminars and live case studies, focusing on the challenges of responding to government legislation. As well as ECO, the seminars will focus on a range of issues associated with energy efficiency and demonstrate key examples of where organisations have overcome these technical and legislative challenges.
Having recently been accredited as a Green Deal Assessor and a Green Deal Installer, SIG Energy Management now carry the Green Deal Quality Mark. Neil says: “This is an important milestone for the business and serves to confirm that we have the requisite skills and experience to help our customers make the right decisions when it comes to the Green Deal.”
SIG Energy Management has also recently completed a full, in-house review of product SAP calculations and experts will be on hand to talk through these calculations and offer a range of practical tips on whole-house energy management solutions.
The stand features a large communal meeting area, flanked by a cluster of ‘break-out’ rooms for those visiting the stand to hold private meetings and discussions. Around the stand are a number of information pods and interactive displays, providing information on key legislation – including SIG Energy Management’s new App, launched at Ecobuild last year.
