HETAS CEO speaks to Service Delivery Manager Ben Harvey about all things HETAS training, including the recent overhaul of the training units into a new structure. Barry and Ben also discuss the new training and development centre, The Building Performance Hub in High Wycombe.

Smoke Signals host and HETAS CEO Barry Cope welcomes HETAS Head of Technical Calvin May to the podcast to discuss the recently published Defra solid fuel burning consultation. This episode discusses some of the key elements of the consultation, namely:

• Stricter emission limits for new stoves – introducing tougher smoke emission standards for new appliances placed on the market. 

• Mandatory labelling for stoves and fuels – providing clear information on emissions, permitted fuels, and health impacts to help consumers make informed choices. 

• Increased enforcement penalties – raising penalties for suppliers who breach fuel standards to ensure compliance. 

Hear the views of Calvin and Barry in this first ever HETAS podcast.
