Organisers of a major national green energy conference in Liverpool are announcing today that Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is to be a prime sponsor of the event.

The upward trend seen earlier this year in private housing has also petered out with the value of start on sites down two per cent on a year ago as housebuilders and consumers reappraise market conditions post-election. Overall these declines leave the Glenigan Residential Index down 20 per cent.

“Whilst social housing starts are likely to remain under pressure over the coming months, a renewed recovery in private housing starts is anticipated at the end of the year as housebuilders capitalise on gradually improving market conditions” according to Allan Wilen, economics director, Glenigan.

Mike Riley, Director of the School of the Built Environment said that the GPF conference provided the perfect opportunity to promote the department’s projects which are being implemented nationally.

This has left the Glenigan Residential Index for July, which tracks projects between the value of 250,000 and 100m, 22% down on a year ago. Whilst social housing starts are likely to remain under pressure over the coming months, a mild recovery in private housing starts is anticipated at the end of the year as housebuilders capitalise on gradually improving market conditions.

GPF Chairman Mark McManus from Steibel Eltron said: “The School for the Built Environment is currently ranked highly in the country for the quality of its research activities and we are delighted that they are supporting our event. Members of LJMU’s academic staff attended the inaugural GPF in 2009 and recognised that the GPF will provide a strong vehicle to promote the projects it is currently involved in. In addition to this, GPF recognises that one of the key barriers to the growth of the renewable sector is the skills shortage. LJMU will be hosting a session outlining relevant courses which are available to professionals in our field.”

The 2010 Green Power Forum will welcome delegates from both the public and private sector. Mr. McManus added: “The GPF 2010 is targeting professionals who are responsible for driving down carbon emissions within their organisations. GPF is ideal for business owners, financial directors, facilities managers and representatives from housing associations and local authorities. The conference is aimed at members of the construction industry, such as architects and designers who want to learn about the latest renewable technology which can be installed in their projects.”

“Regionally only the East Midlands, Wales and the North East saw significant rises in the value of new work compared to a year ago while the flow of new work dropped by a quarter or more in London, Northern Ireland, the East and South East” said Mr Wilen. The overall Glenigan Index for the three months to July showed a 13 per cent fall on a year ago to 78.1, the lowest seen this year and significantly below the 2006 Index base.
