Energy Awareness Certificate - Level 1

Course details

Energy management is a term which is used within many organisations but often is not fully understood or defined properly. An awareness of energy and it's usage has a key role to play in all levels of society from domestic to industrial levels.

At the most basic level, a more efficient way of burning sticks and wood results in a reduction in the time taken to gather the required amount of fuel. At a more advanced level a reduction in energy consumption results in a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels in boiler plant rooms and powerplants - this in turn leads to financial savings in the form of reduced energy bills.
