Energy Awareness — where every energy programme begins.

Course description

A practical, jargon-free introduction to what is happening in the energy space and why it matters to every organisation. Participants learn the global and Kenyan energy trends and regulations shaping their business, how energy cost is built up on the bill, and the simple no-cost and low-cost actions that bring energy use — and cost — down. The course builds the awareness and urgency that underpin every successful energy programme.

Who it's for

All staff and supervisors — technical and non-technical — facility and administration teams, and sustainability champions.

What you'll be able to do
