Learning and education through training is crucial to the fundamental understanding of energy management.
The behaviour of staff and other users (students, patients, customers etc.) and their awareness of energy play a key part in reducing energy consumption. It is estimated that up to 20% of total energy can be saved by adopting and maintaining best practise.
Undertaking an appropriate range of specific training and raising broader awareness will contribute substantially to any plan which reduces energy consumption and environmental impact in general.
