ESTA

ESTA in conjunction with CIBSE will be presenting six one hours seminars during the course of The Energy Event.

Seminar 1 - 10.00 – 11.00 CRC – the basics

ESTA/CIBSE will be discussing the basic elements of the Carbon Reduction Commitment directive and highlighting the stiff penalties which companies can face for non-conformance. This seminar will also cover the topic of creating an evidence pack. • Objectives of the scheme; Principles of ‘cap and trade’ carbon emissions trading;
• What is an organisation; Who is captured by CRC?;
• Qualification threshold; Base year consumption; What do you need to report and by when?
• Recycling of funds; Basis of ‘League table’ calculation;
• Early adaptors measures; Carbon Trust Standard; Voluntary half hour metering;
