Energy Awareness and Action
Overview
An increasing number of organisations, of all sizes and sectors, are placing more focus on Energy Awareness and Management. The cost of energy continues to increase and legal drivers directly incentivise organisations to take action. At the same time, the climate continues to warm and customers expect organisations to play their part, contribute and make more eco-conscious products and services available.
Who should attend?
This introductory course is for anyone wishing to learn how to measure and reduce their own energy use or that of their organisation. The course is suitable for environmental mangers and facilities managers as well as general workforce awareness across all roles.
