At Home With Energy

DEI is a world leader on interdisciplinary research across the sciences, social sciences, humanities and engineering and was one of the first truly interdisciplinary energy research institutes in the UK.

The DEI Energy Day 2024 celebrates 15 years of Durham Energy Institute bringing people together to think differently about energy. Find out about the cutting edge of energy research here at Durham and join us to think about how we should get to Net Zero. Come along to take part in the discussion and inform the debate.

Energy Day will focus on energy and our daily lives. This year's theme, "At Home With Energy," shines a spotlight on the pivotal role of housing and communities in the ongoing energy transition. Domestic heating and cooking is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, but the wide range of households and housing makes changing our heating and cooking practices complicated. As we strive to build a more sustainable future, what kinds of changes should we expect to live with in our homes? And how will we organise the retrofitting of homes for a low-energy future?

This event brings together leading experts, policymakers, and industry professionals to delve into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we will examine emerging technologies, innovations and practices that can empower households, reduce carbon footprints, and pave the way for a more equitable and resilient energy landscape.

Registration for this free public event is essential for catering purposes.
