CRASH COURSE IN... REDUCING YOUR ENERGY USAGE

摘要

At night, your building is lit up like a spaceship; in winter, it's hotter than Death Valley; and in summer, the air-con frosts up your specs. Your fuel bills would keep a small hedge fund in business, and just look at the energy-related legislation and taxation on the way. It's time you started burning up a bit less.rnGet the size of it. First, understand how much energy you're using and where. Organisations spending more than £3m on fuel can get subsidised carbon management from the Carbon Trust; those over £50,000 can get a free survey. Below that, you can either conduct a walk-round survey or call in consultants to do it. Don't forget to include energy used by staff on the road.
