Take a look at this free 'guide to energy efficiency in the workplace' by the Energy Saving Trust, which explores the key areas where organisations can reduce energy usage, and in turn reduce business costs. This is a useful guide for achieving Green Accord certification, and implementation of the guidance below fulfils the requirements for several of the assessment questions. The guide covers 4 main areas: heating, draughts, lighting and equipment.
