Energy Institute to give chartered status to energy managers The Energy Institute (EI) has announced it will offer a new grade of registration for energy managers. The organisation says the category will recognise professional practitioners who manage energy to reduce use, increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It points out that they can make a substantial contribution, as buildings account for approximately 40% of the UK's carbon emissions. The Institute said, "From monitoring energy bills to spearheading capital projects, energy managers are often central to championing a culture shift in the workplace to lead new directions and encourage colleagues to consider how they can improve their own energy use." Speaking about the new chartered energy manager title Sarah Beacock, professional affairs director, said, "We are very pleased to be able to provide chartered recognition for an established group of individuals, whose key responsibilities are the efficient management of energy. Over many years, the EI has supported these individuals as developers and custodians of National Occupational Standards for Managing Energy, by providing a vocational qualification, open learning qualifications and short courses. And now, by introducing this title, the EI will enable individuals undertaking such professional development to achieve the highest standards of competence and commitment.' Applications the chartered energy manager title will be assessed by means of a professional development review and interview. Maintenance of the title is by normal means of reporting on continuous professional development. Energy managers: are you dealing with the government's new mandatory CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme?
