About Online CPD Workshop: Energy efficiency and renewable energy for SMEs

As energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, there is an opportunity for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to make considerable improvements to their buildings.

Narec Distributed Energy are offering a one-day online course which will present practical techniques to identify and reduce energy waste in commercial buildings. A variety of techniques will be demonstrated including consumption data analysis, energy efficiency and renewable energy interventions and user behaviour.

The course is primarily targeted at facility or asset managers and/or business owners but will also be well suited to others who have a basic knowledge of building fabric and building services. The workshop will be delivered by our technical specialists.
