Welcome to the new-look seminar programme for London HEVAR which takes place on September 22 and September 23 at the Royal Horticultural Halls in Victoria.
New to the exhibition is a series of round-table discussions which will take place during the lunch period with a number of industry experts who will be available to discuss legislation, equipment, best practice, new policies or, indeed, any other problems. Visitors must book their session as spaces are necessarily limited.
The seminar programme is split under three headings. Implementation, Business driver and Technology. It will run alongside the exhibition.

13.30 - 15.30 PANEL DEBATE: RENEWABLES - THE CONTROLS AND THE CASH
The rapidly shifting economic climate has cast doubt about many aspects of funding for renewable projects including the long-term availability of public subsidies and the shortage of private sector cash. This debate draws together experts from across the industry to look at how control systems can ensure renewables deliver on their promises - both in terms of carbon saving and financial payback - and where the future funding is coming from:
(Ewen Rose, Chair)
Controls - The Key to Sustainability - Ian Ellis, Siemens
