Smart buildings are a critical lever in net zero plans. The industry needs people who can turn buzzwords into practical energy and carbon savings.

Research and incorporate sustainable practices into your projects or sites. 

Quick win (5 minutes):

Think of one building you know and identify a single obvious source of waste – for example plant running when it does not need to.

More time to invest? (60 minutes):

Choose a building or site you work with and list two or three likely energy opportunities – time schedules, overrides, setpoints, 24/7 running. Roughly estimate which would have the biggest impact and, if appropriate, discuss one of them with a colleague or client as a potential mini-project for the New Year.
