Energy and Business
Energy is just one of the resources that businesses need to manage and now that Climate Change is firmly on the agenda customers are increasingly expecting the businesses to take positive steps to cut their emissions of greenhouse gases.
Luckily, it turns out that reducing emissions can also reduce overall costs and insulate businesses against future energy price rises.
Since there’s no need to re-invent the wheel, here’s a really good set of links from the Centre for Alternative Technology.
They cover areas such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and transport.

Plenty of advice is also available through the Ryedale Energy Conservation Group
(which is supported by all the local authorities in North Yorkshire).

The York and North Yorkshire Business Environmental Forum (YNYBEF)
offers free and confidential environmental advice to businesses in York and North Yorkshire.
But, the first step to reducing energy consumption is often simply good housekeeping. This means keeping an eye on your use of energy and doing the simple things like switching stuff off when it isn’t in use.
