Smarter Working provides approaches to improve productivity through working practices, technology, premises, time and travel management. It is available to small and medium enterprises in the West Midlands region. The program offers free building surveys and process surveys to identify ways organizations can improve energy efficiency and save costs, typically providing two days of assistance to implement recommendations.
Behaviour Change – it’s not all about turning off the lightsEMEX
In principle most people think saving energy is a good idea. But things get in the way – budgets, timelines and knowledge to name a few. UCL’s sustainability team have used a £1.2 billion estate investment programme to embed energy saving in organisational processes, approvals and contracts, making energy efficiency a core requirement and not a ‘nice to have’. Joanna will explain how she has used rigorous governance and effective relationship building to shift attitudes across the institution, with engineers, maintenance staff, lab managers and architects all considering energy in their day to day activities and suggesting new initiatives to reduce consumption.
Energy Efficiency
“Aims to Gain the Maximum results or effects from each unit of energy used and is about obtaining the same outcomes through using less energy”
It's on the horizon and market ready. A new Technology that will increase the profitability of every company smart enough to deploy it. What every CEO needs to know.

For the NHS to continue to meet patients’ changing needs in the 21st century and remain clinically and financially viable there must be a collective effort across the organisation to tackle variation in quality and outcomes at pace. To ensure trust clinical services develop in a way that supports this vision the trust has introduced a major transformation programme ‘Transforming Care Together’.

Week 5: Sustainability in the Workplace
Sustainability in the Workplace
• The use of resources must be measured
and accounted for the external costs of
our goods and services.
• The beauty of going “sustainable” is
that many of the changes we make are
beneficial to our health and
environment, while saving us money.
• Reducing our energy and water usage,
as well as waste produced, all translate
into less resource utilization and
therefore, lower costs.
Local businesses are an integral part of the
solution. Every action, no matter how small, can
contribute to the global effort to reduce our
ecological footprint.
Sustainability in the Workplace
Environmental Pressure: As our energy and natural
resource demands grow, impacts to ecosystems are
proportionally growing and causing more damage
to the health of our planet and communities.
Economic Pressure: Sustainability presents
opportunities for efficiency that can improve
business performance and competitiveness, while
reducing operating costs.
Social Pressure: Investors, customers,
environmental groups and the media have begun
to make sustainability the profitable choice.
Sustainability in the Workplace
Seven Areas of Concern
Looking to this future, the following seven areas will begin to
provide your office with strategies that save you money while
improving the efficiency and vitality of your business
Energy
Maintenance
• Keep all equipment, such as air filters clean and
maintained
Lighting
• Use daylight if possible and then compact fluorescent
light bulbs or new light emitting diodes (LED bulbs)
• Install sensors to automatically turn lighting on/ off in
space that is less used
Equipment
• Optimize energy settings on computers, monitors and
other electronics
• Unplug devices that are not in use and utilize power strips
• Reduce the amount of equipment in use: consolidate
several printers into one efficient multi-use device
Water
Conserve
• Fix leaks: Millions of gallons of water are lost every
year through leaking pipes
• Install water saving fixtures: Using low-flow sink
fixtures at the tap can decreases water usage by 50%
Reuse
• Consider grey-water, reclaimed water or rainwater
harvesting for landscape irrigation
Transportation
• Since the oil price spike of 2008,
there has been greater interest
in public transit and the
walkability of communities.
• Carpooling or taking the bus,
instead of single person car trips
decreases CO2 emissions and
reduces the cost of commuting.
The option to walk, bike, bus or
carpool gives people more
choice and makes for a healthier
community and a better planet
Transportation
Getting to Work
• Locating your business near public transportation
routes can save you and employees money on
parking and gas expenses
• Promot ...
At its core, mastering energy efficiency involves optimizing the use of energy resources to achieve the desired outcome while minimizing waste. This begins with a comprehensive energy audit, which serves as the foundation for identifying areas of improvement. By understanding current energy consumption patterns, individuals and businesses can make informed decisions about where and how to implement changes.
In a world where sustainability and environmental consciousness are at the forefront, mastering energy efficiency has become a crucial aspect of responsible living and business operations. This article delves into the key principles and practices that contribute to mastering energy efficiency, exploring how individuals and organizations can make informed decisions to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.
