Transforming Energy – Buildings Net Zero Energy
Added to website 14/01/2025.
Reducing your energy emissions is a great way to take practical action in response to the climate crisis. The Transforming Energy programme is here to help cultural organisations become more energy efficient and decarbonise their buildings.
Many organisations have already made good progress in reducing their energy-related emissions, through energy monitoring, improving controls and energy efficiency upgrades. Others are just starting out, or keen to do more. This programme aims to support cultural organisations at all stages of this process.
A set of resources to help organisations with energy management are available for free below.
However, we encourage you to sign up for additional support, including:
- Support from our technical partners, Pilio
- Training on good energy management practice provided by Julie’s Bicycle
Participation in drop-ins, webinars and training sessions is optional as the programme has been designed to be flexible and light touch. It is a rolling programme, running until March 2026.
Who is this for?
Anyone in your organisation who looks after management of your building and/or office. E.g. facilities manager, office manager, operations manager, maintenance and energy consultants.
It is open to cultural organisations in England that are building-based. It is for ACE national portfolio organisations as well as the wider sector.
Ideally your organisational energy spend is £10,000 per year, although can be lower if other criteria are met. You should have access to at least one year of monthly invoice data for each energy source, or commit to collecting this over time.
