SEAI Launch Online Energy Academy to Help Businesses Cut Energy Costs
SEAI online training is free, quick and easy and can be completed by employees from home.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) this week launched a free online training resource to help businesses reduce their energy costs. The SEAI Energy Academy can help to lower energy bills by as much as 10%, potentially even more, by educating businesses and employees on changing energy use behaviours and effective energy management.
With the increasing societal focus on climate change, and the launch of the Government’s Climate Action Plan, many businesses are seeking to play their part in reducing their climate impact. The SEAI Energy Academy is an ideal starting point as it allows employees to up-skill on energy efficiency and avail of tailored online training that can lead to important business cost savings.
Opportunity to reduce cost base
Commenting on the launch of the SEAI Energy Academy, William Walsh, CEO of SEAI said: “We realise that businesses are facing very significant challenges right now with many looking for opportunities to reduce their cost base. Reducing energy use can be a great place to start.
SEAI is here to help businesses on their energy efficiency journey, helping them identify energy saving opportunities and to implement those energy changes. We planned the SEAI Energy Academy as an online resource, so it is available to all businesses when and where suits them best. This might be additionally beneficial for those businesses currently working from home or who are planning for the resumption of normal activities, hopefully in the not too distant future.”
The SEAI Energy Academy offers practical step-by-step energy training tailored to specific business needs. The online modules and courses are quick and easy to complete and cover topics such as: Energy and Climate Change; Business Energy Efficiency; Lighting; Heating; Refrigeration Electric Vehicles; Electricity Bill Analysis; Behavioural Change; and Home Energy Efficiency.
Further modules are planned for the SEAI Energy Academy which will make it a vital business energy resource into the future and will be added throughout the year.

On completing a course, learners will receive a Certificate of Completion from SEAI which demonstrates a company’s commitment to educating staff about energy. These courses are also a great way of engaging, up-skilling and retaining staff.
