On October 22, 2024, Resisure was honoured to be part of the Housing Forum National Conference, held at the prestigious Royal College of Physicians in Regent’s Park, London. As a leading event in the housing and construction sector, this year’s theme—‘Delivering Homes for the Future’—addressed critical issues such as housing undersupply, decarbonisation, and the safety and sustainability of underperforming homes.
Engaging with Industry Leaders
The conference brought together senior figures from across the housing and construction industry, providing an excellent opportunity to engage with influencers, thought leaders, and decision-makers. With its focus on the future of housing, the event fostered meaningful discussions on the vital role technology plays in making homes safer, healthier, and more sustainable.
The speaker lineup featured experts such as:
- Lord Bob Kerslake, Chair, Peabody
- Eleanor Deeley, Joint Managing Director, Deeley Group
- Kate Dodsworth, Director of Consumer Regulation, Regulator of Social Housing
- Jill Haley, CEO, Byker Community Trust
- David Montague, Chair, The Housing Forum
These industry experts provided critical insights into the current state of housing, including decarbonisation, government policy, and the housing crisis, giving attendees a clearer view of the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Resisure’s Contribution: Tackling Mould and Damp with Innovation
At Resisure, we understand that the sustainability and safety of homes rely heavily on advanced monitoring technologies. Our home monitoring systems, which track crucial metrics like damp, mould, and humidity, are becoming an essential tool for property managers, landlords, and social housing providers looking to maintain healthy living environments and avoid property degradation.
During the event, our team highlighted how Resisure’s cutting-edge technology helps housing providers meet new regulatory requirements and prevent issues such as damp and mould, which are often exacerbated by poor insulation, outdated heating systems, and increased condensation. We also emphasized how our Resisure Mould Index can forecast potential risks, enabling preemptive action before conditions become harmful to tenants.
Interactive Breakout Sessions
A key feature of the day was the series of interactive breakout sessions, where Resisure took part in the discussions around decarbonisation and safety regulations in housing. These sessions provided a platform for delegates to delve deeper into the key challenges of the sector, from retrofitting existing homes to addressing the sustainability needs of future builds. The conversations were enriched with diverse perspectives, allowing attendees to collaborate on practical solutions and innovative approaches to the issues.
Networking and Exhibiting
As an exhibitor, Resisure had the opportunity to showcase our technology to the many delegates attending the event. Our exhibition stand was a hub of activity throughout the day, where we demonstrated how our monitoring systems can make a tangible impact on housing safety and compliance. We also had valuable conversations with representatives from local authorities, housing associations, and property developers, who were keen to learn how Resisure could help them meet their safety and decarbonisation goals.
The conference culminated in a networking reception, where we connected with professionals from across the industry and celebrated the introduction of the next generation of leaders through The Housing Forum’s Futures Network.
Looking Ahead: A Shared Vision for Housing
The Housing Forum National Conference 2024 was a resounding success, and we left feeling inspired and motivated to continue our mission to improve housing conditions across the UK. The event reinforced the importance of cross-sector collaboration in tackling the complex issues facing housing today. By continuing to innovate and deliver actionable insights through our home monitoring systems, Resisure will remain at the forefront of creating safer, healthier, and more sustainable homes for the future.
We look forward to deepening our partnerships with industry leaders and contributing to the collective efforts in solving the UK’s housing challenges. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, attended our talks, and contributed to the vibrant discussions throughout the day.
