Has your business implemented successful energy efficiency interventions in your building/s or operations? Nominations are now invited for the Energy Efficiency Forum Awards 2016, and the deadline for submission is 13 September 2016. This annual Award recognises leadership and encourages businesses to continue reducing their energy consumption. Applications are judged on their energy management systems and significant energy efficiency interventions – including both technological improvements and behaviour change – which have resulted in substantial and sustainable reductions in energy consumption. Three award categories cover retrofits of existing small and large buildings/ operations and new build (any size). The winners will be recognised at an awards ceremony on 16 November 2016.
