00:50:05 lisa scott: Forecasting temperature rises to 2 deg Not acting on climate change is forecast to cost 6 x the cost of taking action

00:53:47 lisa scott: The sustainable building industry (futurebuild and institute for housing) are focusing of passive warming and cooling. extended eves to allow solar gain in winter but shading in summer

00:54:46 Graham Stoddart-Stones: One of the appealing things about heat pumps is that they are also cold pumps.......

00:55:00 lisa scott: and inclusion of solar glazing and glazing that has 'Vancian blind' collectors between the panes.

00:57:16 Wendy Thomson Stonehouse Town Council: Does anyone have a resilience plan they can share? I'm keen for my council to have one so would be good to have a template to base it on.

00:57:19 lisa scott: Replying to "One of the appealing..."

unfortunately that is air to air heat pumps what are not eligible for the £7500. Cooling vis air to water (that are being supported) are difficult to get cooling. I'm working on that!

00:58:44 Wendy Thomson Stonehouse Town Council: The plan would be for a Town Council

01:00:49 Graham Stoddart-Stones: To make our village hall an emergency centre, it was fitted with a large screen TV linked to the Internet so that those involved could stay in touch with the news (BBC, etc) and have communication channels as well as the landline.........

01:01:12 Will Holmes: Hi, Will from Weymouth Town Council here. Our plan is on our website https://www.weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk/key-documents/emergency-planning/. We're currently working through updating and tweaking this.

01:07:16 Arfa Shahid: Met office is also launching future projected climate impacts for councils. It is coming up this summer. I am forgetting what they are calling it. It would tell in detail what 2 or 4 degree would look like for each area.

01:16:57 SARAH WHITELAW: Another EXTREMELY helpful session … many thanks indeed. Sarah

01:18:31 lisa scott: There are still deniers amongst us who put barriers up :-(

01:19:20 Kirsten Newble: Thank you very much for an interesting session and useful links/comments in the chat too.

01:20:29 Rob Cheeseman-Weymouth: BUT we can’t wait for local authorities and central government. We need to know what they think they will do in emergencies but ultimately communities need to prepare for impacts themselves with the limited resources they generally have.

01:20:41 Arfa Shahid: Reacted to "Thank you very muc..." with 👍

01:20:51 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Village Hall roofs can be great places for solar panels - great to tie them into a battery pack as well!

01:21:18 lisa scott: Givenergy are set up with a 'stay live' spur option batteries
