The UK Home Energy Conversation Association (UK HECA) is a network of support groups made up of local government HECA officers, who have responsibility for reporting progress on the Home Energy Conservation Act, 1995, which aims to secure improvements in energy efficiency in the domestic sector. The network is supported by the UK HECA Secretariat.

Taking into account the disparate nature of the member forum within the United Kingdom and in the fields of energy conservation, energy efficiency, energy management and alternative sources of energy (collectively, to reduce carbon emissions), the UK Home Energy Conversation Association:

• arranges meetings at which members and other potential partners are able to establish new and develop existing partnerships,
• arranges meetings at which members are able to examine and discuss projects and opportunities,
• secures resources and funding to assist the development and implementation of energy efficiency (reduction in carbon emissions) projects,
• provides members with information about developments in energy efficiency, energy conservation and alternative sources of energy (reduction in carbon emissions)
• provides members with information on the availability of appropriate support materials and resources,
• arranges training facilities and where appropriate courses for members,
• encourages and facilitates the development of links and partnerships between members and the suppliers of goods and services which will support reduced use of energy (reduction in carbon emissions),
• contributes to discussions on energy by representing the United Kingdom through membership of appropriate national, European and international bodies,
• facilitates the development of appropriate professional qualifications as necessary,
• influences the progression and improvement of energy efficient activities (reduction in carbon emissions) by member authorities,
• encourages partnerships across sectors which have complementary interests.

Areas of expertise: changing citizens' behaviour, dissemination of information, advice on energy issues energy efficiency in buildings, solar energy, insulation.

Target audience: Members of the public ultimately through all energy conservation authorities throughout the UK, sustainable energy centres, energy efficiency advice centres, charitable energy organisations providing impartial activity and/or advice on energy matters within the energy sector.
