Environmental Technologies
The building services engineering sector has a major role to play in meeting the carbon reduction targets set by Government.
Reducing emissions, lowering energy consumption and conserving water cannot be achieved unless this sector designs, installs and maintains renewable and environmental technologies, and provides the best advice to customers.
There’s a huge challenge ahead for employers to have the right skills in place to adapt and respond to new system designs and working practices.
SummitSkills has published its environmental strategy document through to 2013. This document describes how SummitSkills will be working on behalf of the sector to capture and exploit opportunities to help the UK move towards a low carbon future.
At the heart of skills development for tomorrow's low carbon workforce will be the new National Skills Academy for Environmental Technologies. It will transform the way the sector plans, develops and delivers renewable and environmental technology skills.
