Energy efficiency awards
07/01/2004
Five Scottish organisations have won
awards for their performance at reducing energy consumption
and production of carbon dioxide gas.
Angus Council, Hewlett Packard,
National Archives of Scotland, Standard Life Assurance, and
the University of Dundee have all been granted
accreditation, following audits.
Harry Waugh who, as well as carrying
out the assessments works as an Energy Manager with
Scottish Healthcare Supplies, said:
"At a time when concern for the
environment and climate are high, it is very good to hear
that Scottish businesses are putting themselves in the
spotlight and being audited on their management of
energy.
"The gaining of accreditation is by no
means a formality.
There is a rigorous examination of policies
and procedures in place.
The organisations should be congratulated
for achieving the required standards."
The assessment is based around
Management Commitment, Investment and Improvements gained
and the criteria must be met to the satisfaction of the
assessor, moderator and Energy Institute who award the
certificate.
