Managing Energy - Saving Carbon
GASTEC at CRE (GaC)
This practical energy management course reflects the core principle underpinning the objectives of the c:sense team. We intend to show you how to identify an energy reduction programme, customised to fit your own real life situation, that looks past the green-wash and makes carbon sense, commercial sense and common sense.
No prior energy management knowledge or technical skills are assumed or required. Delegates should have a general interest in identifying energy efficiency problems, with a view to improving their own knowledge and ability to provide cost effective solutions for their employer.
Who should attend?
The high costs of energy, and general awareness of climate change issues, makes this course relevant to everyone involved in the operation of buildings of all kinds but particularly those tasked with making something happen rather than simply contributing to the “green” debate.
