Energy Coordinators
Energy Coordinators help promote energy reduction in their school or unit.
The Energy Reduction Campaign relies on good communication between Estates & Buildings staff and academic and support staff across the University.
Within each building a Head of School or Unit should nominate an Energy Coordinator. Where Schools are large, or where they cover more than one site, several Energy Coordinators may be appointed so they each oversee a particular building.
Role of Energy Coordinators
Energy Coordinators provide the day-to-day contact for their school or unit on all aspects of energy reduction. The main role of Energy Coordinators is to:-
- advise and assist the Head of School or Unit in promoting energy conservation practices
- act as the principal point of contact for Energy Office - providing a local source of guidance and information on energy management practices (supported by Energy Office)
- identify opportunities for energy reduction through improvements to normal working practices or through investment in facilities for energy reduction
- ensure that new people and visitors receive suitable induction training and that all employees are properly briefed and updated on Switch and Save procedures
- conduct or coordinate the periodic review or audit of local energy consumption practices and make recommendations for improvements (supported by Energy Office)
Getting involved
Can you help promote Switch and Save locally? Anyone interested in becoming an Energy Coordinator for their building or school should contact the Energy Office.
Changes to contact details
Please notify the Energy Office when Energy Coordinators change.
Energy Coordinators are required to hold their own email and contact lists for their local Energy Reps and keep these up to date.
