The importance of energy efficiency for businesses – and an introduction to Energy Solutions Oxfordshire
In 2020 we hosted a series of webinars exploring topics on the importance of energy efficiency for businesses. If you missed them, don’t worry – here’s the recording of the first in the series.
In the first webinar of our autumn 2020 series, we were joined by Steve Fawkes and Richard Dorey.
Dr Steve Fawkes, Founder of EnergyPro and author of the Only Eleven Percent blog, gave an overview of why businesses should be thinking about energy efficiency. This included some of the key barriers commonly found by businesses considering working on energy efficiency.
Richard Dorey, Business Development Manager for Energy Solutions Oxfordshire, then gave an introduction to Energy Solutions Oxfordshire – how we came about, how the service works, and what kind of businesses we can work with.
