It is obvious to see that energy efficiency is moving up the governments agenda, with the the Prime Minister urging Nations to ‘come together and reach agreements that make history’ ahead of the December Copenhagen summit. Pressure has increased worldwide to sharpen energy efficiency legislation and create new incentives. However, despite a frequently positive outlook towards energy efficiency and carbon reduction, organisations often lack the expertise necessary to develop new energy policies and implement sustainable schemes.
Furthermore, attitudes are changing worldwide towards energy efficiency. What was once seen as a ‘nice to have but not necessary’ is becoming mandatory/essential for forward thinking organisations – This is reinforced by the proportional increase in numbers of energy managers in the UK and Worldwide.
