Reducing Energy: Simple Tricks for Big Savings
A hands-on, self-directed online course designed to help you spot where energy is being wasted, weigh up your options, and build a plan that actually gets acted on.
Unlike technical or overly complicated energy programmes, this course focuses on the how.
How to map where your energy is going, hunt down waste you didn't know existed, decide which fixes are actually worth it, prioritise what to tackle first, and turn all of it into a simple action plan you can start on today.
Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for anyone who's expected to help spot energy waste, manage energy-related costs, or contribute to sustainability reporting (even without a technical background) including early-career professionals and people working in:
- Facilities
- Operations
- Procurement
- ESG or Sustainability
- Finance
- Business ownership
- Office management
- General roles with energy-related responsibilities
If you've ever been handed responsibility for "doing something" about energy use and had no idea where to start, this course was built with you in mind.
What will you learn?
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
- Explain why reducing energy use matters; for your budget, your emissions, and your organisation's resilience
- Identify the major energy users within your organisation, home, or workplace
- Complete an Energy Hotspot Map to see where your energy is actually going
- Spot common sources of energy waste through a simple Energy Waste Hunt

What is CPD?
A CPD record helps keep a track of your learning progression from year to year. It is an individual’s evidential documentation of their Continuing Professional Development obligations for their professional body or association. Contained within a CPD record would be the register of learning activities, such as training courses, workshops and educational events attended, the number of CPD hours / points the individual has completed for any given year, as well as a copy of the delegate CPD certificates for each activity. These CPD delegate certificates act as validation that the learning has been attended and completed.
