Experts say businesses must change their perception of energy efficiency

Solarsense took part in a roundtable discussion last Friday (19^th February) that highlighted challenges facing energy management in the UK.

The event marked the launch of Clean Energy News, and saw contributions from industry experts including trade associations, installer firms, manufacturers and Ofgem. Topics covered were wide ranging and sought to address issues affecting the clean energy industry.

Contributors agreed that ESOS would lead to an increased take-up of energy efficiency measures, but that ‘energy champions’ faced multiple challenges, of which the overarching issue was the perception of energy efficiency amongst businesses.

Experts agreed that energy management is often given a limited scope and budget, as it is seen as a ‘cost’ rather than an opportunity or investment.
