The procurement pathway brings together the advice and guidance materials for charities and social enterprises looking to procure energy efficiency upgrades and install low carbon technologies in their buildings 👇
Getting started
Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to tackle the climate emergency. It refers to the use of less energy to perform the same task or produce the same result. By reducing the energy use, we reduce the amount of fossil fuels burned to generate energy.
