Agree an energy management policy and carbon reduction plan with customers

This standard is about agreeing an energy management policy and carbon reduction plan with customers. It is about the creation of measuring, monitoring and audit systems for all building services and evaluating actual performance against agreed targets.

This standard is for professionals in energy management and advice.

You will be required to know and understand the relevant requirements of each devolved nation.
