Visit a late 1970's home with energy, transport and heating costs at £75 per month. Talk to the owner and find out how he upgraded his house with energy efficiency measures that include external wall insulation, solar panels and a heat pump.

A 5 bedroom detached home, and monthly water bills of £20. Over a 15 year period, our home has been transformed into a warm, comfortable living environment by a staged approach to retrofitting.

Could we achieve zero energy bills? Have we reached "Net Zero"? Come and listen to our approach, the lessons learnt, and what we would have done differently in the light of our experiences so far. We will cover:-

- Air Source Heat Pumps

- Artificial Intelligence with Air Source Heat Pumps

- Solar PV with battery backup

- Solar Thermal for hot water

- A "Tea Cosy" approach to Insulation.

- Heat Recovery

- Rain Water Harvesting

- Wood burning stoves - are they the right approach?

- Smart Home Technology for monitoring energy usage.

- Optimising Solar Generation

- Electric Vehicle charging

- Artificial Intelligence - How does it work?
