ISO 50001 is an internationally recognised standard for Energy Management. It is recognised as the standard practice framework for managing your energy performance and addressing your energy costs, while helping you to reduce your environmental impact and meet emissions reductions targets.
With the recent consultation on the future of Display Energy Certificates (DECs), 2EA® examines how important they really are beyond the colourful graphs and CO2 ratings.
Combined Heat and Power, also known as cogeneration or CHP, is an extremely efficient process that harnesses the heat that is produced when energy is generated. By generating heat and power together, carbon emissions can be reduced by up to 30% by replacing heat that would otherwise be normally supplied by boilers.
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a government tax, applied to energy use, and is designed to encourage businesses to be more energy efficient, therefore reducing their carbon emissions and their impact on the environment.
The Carbon Reduction Commitment is a compulsory emissions trading scheme introduced by the Government in April 2010. The scheme is aimed at large business and public sector organisations such as; government departments, retailers, banks, universities, hotel chains, water companies and local authorities.
