Making Net Zero Projects Happen
The Midlands Net Zero Hub is working with the other Local Net Zero Hubs to support local authorities across England come together to hear about the latest developments, technologies, and case studies.
These bimonthly webinars will cover a range of net zero topics and will help you to learn what’s possible with your local authority’s own climate action.

Past events
Public Sector Decarbonisation Workshop
Our Non-domestic Retrofit team hosted a half-day workshop in partnership with Salix to help public sector organisations make progress on improving the energy efficiency of their buildings. They covered:
How to do an energy audit to understand the energy consumption of your buildings
Which buildings to prioritise and which energy efficiency measures are right for your projects
What the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is and how to make an application
How the Midlands Net Zero Hub can help you make your projects happen
Heat Network Zoning for Local Authorities
This webinar shares how the heat network zoning programme will significantly increase private sector investment in the sector by removing the barriers which currently limit the pace of developing large scale heat networks.
The Midlands Net Zero Hub Conference 2023
As we reached our 5th anniversary, we brought key stakeholders in the region together to look at successes and challenges in the Midlands. Take a look at the slides from the sessions for a recap of the day.

PAS 2035 Toolkit Launch
The Midlands Net Zero Hub commissioned a Retrofit Toolkit to provide a clear process for all LAs to follow to help facilitate PAS 2035 compliance in their domestic retrofit schemes.

Climate-aware decision making for local authorities
Local government has a vital role to play in the transition to a net zero energy system. To achieve this, local authorities must better integrate planning and climate change considerations to inform local plan making and development management decisions.
In 2022, local authorities across Derbyshire conducted a spatial renewable energy study to act as the evidence base for county-wide climate change planning guidance and to assist in future sustainable and net zero policy and decision making.
Funded by the Midland Net Zero Hub and D2N2 LEP, the project has resulted in a toolkit which provides local authorities with the processes and tools to conduct their own spatial energy assessments.
