Energy and Carbon Management are now seen as essential aspects of successful organisational management. The use of energy resources is fundamental to our outcomes, however often little time is given to its management and control even though the pressures are ever present to reduce organisational costs and usage of resources plus minimisation of perceived environmental impact.

Energy Management, on a day by day basis, is neither overly complex nor difficult once the necessary practices and methodologies, suitable for the organisation, have been learnt and applied.

• Understand the process of Energy Management
• Learn about the International Energy Management Standard (ISO 50001)
• Reduce operational costs, Carbon footprint and Environmental Impact
• Network with others wishing to take control of this aspect of their organisation
• Learn from an international Energy Management practitioner

The objectives of this course can be summarised as follows:

• To understand where energy resources come from
• To identify energy ‘Waste’
• To gain expertise in managing the resource once it comes on site
• To enrol all organisational colleagues in the day to day management of energy resources
• To demonstrate to all parties (Customers and Suppliers) the best practices being carried out

The programme will be based on a series of PowerPoint modules each supported with exercises and occasional practical exercises involving the delegates.

Delegates will partake in a series of 90 mins. approx. units / modules which will use:

• PowerPoint material
• Videos
• Discussions
• Case Studies and examples
• Role playing in groups based on sample material
• Exercises
