Energy Efficiency

The main independent source of information on energy efficiency is the Carbon Trust www.thecarbontrust.co.uk, which is a government agency. They provide special leaflets for the Hotel/B&B sector and for Leisure Centres (swimming pools) these can be downloaded. However you have to register on line to gain access to them (this is a free service).

To access this information you have to click through four pages.

First page - click Action Energy under the main heading Reduce Carbon Emissions. Second page - under Focus on Savings click onto sector specific help. Third Page - click onto Service Sectors.

Fourth Page - clicking onto Hotels & B&Bs and/or Leisure Centres will take you to another page – if you are not registered you will have to complete their registration process to allow you to download the leaflets – a quick process, which once completed allows you to download the leaflets immediately.

The leaflets are 4/5 pages and contain good basic tips to allow you to reduce your energy bills.

The HCIMA (Hotel & Catering International Management Association) have a very good web site Hospitality Climates www.hospitableclimates.co.uk/ which includes lots of relevant information, tips and links.

Many energy efficiency tips are common sense and low cost so make sure you download the leaflets from the carbon trust site.

There are also low cost loans to help – if you’re a small or medium-sized business (less than 250 employees), you could borrow £5,000 to £50,000 at 0% fixed interest to fund the purchase of equipment such as lighting, boilers or insulation.
