Training and Workshops
Energy Management Workshops
Practical energy training for people who manage buildings
Oxford Energy Services provides short, practical workshops for organisations that want staff to understand building energy use and identify savings opportunities.
The workshops are designed for busy facilities, operations and estates teams.
They are not academic courses. They are practical sessions focused on real buildings, real energy bills and real decisions.
Main workshop
Energy Management in Buildings — 2-hour workshop
This workshop gives non-specialists a clear understanding of how buildings use energy and where energy is commonly wasted.
It is suitable for:
facilities managers
operations managers
estates teams
sustainability leads
finance or management staff with responsibility for energy costs
building users involved in energy reduction
What the workshop covers
Typical topics include:
how buildings use electricity and gas
how to read energy bills and meter data
what half-hour electricity data can reveal
night load and out-of-hours energy use
heating controls and time schedules
lighting and lighting controls
common causes of avoidable energy waste
quick wins and low-cost actions
how to prioritise energy projects
how to avoid being misled by unrealistic savings claims
how to build a practical energy action plan
Format
The workshop can be delivered:
online
in person
as a one-off session
as part of a wider energy management programme
A typical session lasts around two hours.
It can be adapted to include your own buildings, energy data or current challenges.
Other possible workshop topics
Other short workshops can be developed around:
understanding half-hour electricity data
practical energy management for facilities teams
energy and carbon reporting for non-specialists
how to review energy-saving proposals
heating, controls and operational energy waste
preparing an internal energy action plan
Previous training experience
Russell Layberry has delivered energy and carbon training for a wide range of organisations, including cultural, heritage, public sector and commercial clients.
Previous work includes energy management training for museums and cultural organisations, as well as workshops for facilities and sustainability teams.
Fee
Workshop fees depend on format and preparation required.
As a guide, a standard two-hour workshop is typically similar in cost to a building energy audit.
