Electricity storage for buildings.

This event has now ended.

———————————————-

We are hosting a CIBSE Energy Performance Group event in our London office on the 27 Sept, entitled ‘EPG Power Hour- Electricity Storage for Buildings’. 

Battery storage is becoming a regular feature in technical news bulletins with global investment in energy storage expected to reach $548Bn by 2050 and the price of lithium-ion batteries falling by 79% since 2010.

Come and find out more from our panel of five experts giving their Power Hour opinions in short presentations that will consider electricity storage in buildings, the challenges that this entails within the building, how it affects the power grid, and how industry, owners and occupiers can help.

The second half of the Power Hour will be an open panel and audience discussion and debate about the challenges facing the construction industry, owners and occupiers.
