Editor's Notes
- Any energy you are using in your direct activities. What you are paying for. The energy used by your suppliers. Sum of all the energy required to produce goods/services - energy embodied in the product itself.
- Review your bills
- The Green Deal

- Engage your team. Ask each functional division to come up with an energy saving idea based on their own activities (which they know best). Get everyone involved. The biggest problem is that we cannot see energy unless it is in some physical form - so we miss the cause and effect connection. Keep it real and measure in money savings - that you can put to good use. And make sure you have timelines in place to focus attention.
