In March, our speaker will be Mark Thompson. Mark is an energy efficiency expert who is passionate about engaging the public in energy, and “de-mything and de-fearing” it and the changes that decarbonisation will bring.

After studying physics and electronics at university, Mark spent his career in engineering, innovation and technology development, across a range of sectors. For a decade before his retirement in 2020, he focussed solely on supporting the development of energy technologies that accelerate the move away from fossil fuels; he spent the last five years working in the Government’s Innovate UK organisation, as Head of Energy and in senior low carbon sector roles.

His talk is entitled “Heat in Homes – how to improve thermal comfort while also saving money and carbon”. A lot more information can be found on Mark’s website: https://www.getenergysavvy.info/home
