Net Zero 2050 Is Doomed to Fail

With Neil Cutland

About this event

Last April, the UK press widely reported that the national policy to decarbonise by 2050 cannot be achieved. Is that what the key players REALLY said?  And if not, how do they say we CAN get there by 2050? Join Sava director Dr Neil Cutland as he unravels the issue, starting with fact-checking exactly who said what.

Dr Neil Cutland

Special Projects Director

Neil Cutland joined the Sava team in 2022 as Consultancy Director and is building Sava’s data and energy consultancy work. This is after a long career as an energy and sustainability consultant, specialising in low-energy buildings with a particular focus on housing.  Neil is one of the authors of the BREDEM mathematical models that underpin the SAP, is a Member of the Institute of Physics and has sat on various Government and related advisory panels.

Following his doctoral research on the thermodynamics of industrial heat recovery devices, Neil undertook extensive performance monitoring of the homes on the iconic Energy Park in Milton Keynes.  He subsequently helped to develop and deliver the training programme for NHER energy assessors.

Neil enjoys driving classic sports cars, playing rock guitar and skiing – with more enthusiasm than skill in all cases.

Beyond the EPC: Unlocking Building Performance with IoT

with Sam Lott

About this event

How can social housing providers move beyond assumptions and gain real insight into how homes perform? In this webinar, Andy Flook explores the growing role of Internet of Things (IoT) in social housing and how live data is transforming asset management and tenant wellbeing.

Topics include:

  • Why IoT? Real-time data on temperature, humidity, energy use, and more — enabling smarter decisions on decarbonisation, damp and mould, and fuel poverty.
  • Reality vs RdSAP10: Bridging the gap between predicted and actual performance.
  • Benefits of Live Analysis: Faster issue detection, targeted interventions, and better asset planning.
  • Key Challenges: Tenant concerns, GDPR, and the practicalities of implementation.
  • Market Overview: Leading IoT providers, costs, and funding options.
  • Real-World Impact: A case study showing how live data revealed hidden problems and drove effective action.
