With Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) publishing the carbon footprint of local authorities in the UK for the first time, CEN Services Ltd launches an innovative carbon and energy management plan service to support local authorities reduce their energy consumption by 20%.
CEN has added an interactive tool (part funded by DECC) to its service portfolio that monitors, educates, visualises and ultimately reduces energy use for Government staff in Whitehall and which will be applicable to both public and private sector organisations.
“We realise the resource implications of an internal carbon and energy management plan and offer a range of services to support the reporting and reduction process, including emissions calculations and preparation of reports, bespoke behavioural and retrofit reduction solutions and staff training” says Joseph Williams, Senior Project Manager, CEN Services Ltd.
CEN’s carbon and energy management services provide local authorities with a range opportunities to reduce energy and carbon consumption through implementing simple measures. “Behavioural change through monitoring and training is vital and can yield savings of up to 20% alone...Beyond this, optimising the way the energy in a building is managed can save a further 10%. These reductions can be made without any capital expenditure...
“We also welcome the decision by the Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Chris Huhne allowing for the generation and sale of renewable energy for local authorities as a means to stimulate a low carbon economy...
“In the last 5 years alone we have supported over 800 schools, businesses and community organisations with advice and to access funding to proceed to installation and we are ready to help these organistions benefit even further from feed in tariffs ” explains Williams.
Established in 1997 CEN provides turnkey solutions to assist a range of organisations with carbon and energy management. To speak to Joseph about our carbon and energy management services for local government call us today on 0800 014 7411.
