QPA Carbon Briefing

These two-hour Briefings aim to provide up-to-date information to members on how to manage and reduce carbon (and energy) use. A QPA guide commissioned from ESD will also be launched at the Briefings. In addition to this resource, we will update members on policy developments relating to carbon emissions and the availability of funding to support members - for example through the Carbon Trust and Safed aggregates programmes. Case histories from members will also be examined and there will be the opportunity to hear customer/client perspectives on carbon reduction.
