SORRY, THIS PUBLICATION IS OUT OF PRINT
“When I started my energy management journey in 2012 this was one of the first books I bought. Still refer to it. Highly recommended!” – Mark Jones, sustainability specialist

“…an excellent guide to energy conservation but should really have been sub titled ‘The Book of Common Sense’… it should be compulsory reading for anyone embarking on a career in the world of energy” – Bob Wilson, Estates Manager, NTW NHS Foundation Trust
