· Emma Strain, Senior Manager (Services Commissioning and Retrofit), GLA
· John Mason, Social & Environmental Policy & Regulation Manager, EDF Energy
· Susanna Salts, Business Development Manager - Low Carbon Design, EDF Energy
· Andy Deacon, Director of Local Delivery, Energy Savings Trust (EST)
· Jo Gill, Chair, London HECA Forum and Energy Efficiency Coordinator, London Borough of Hillingdon
