Last Updated on Friday, 17 September 2010 11:30

Studies show that behavioural change can help represent energy efficiencies of between 8% and 30% in regards to energy use prior to implementing and installing efficiency products and services (Source: Energy SA – A review of strategies promoting energy related behavioural change).

The provision of information and education is one of if not the most important aspects of behavioural change.

enGauge helps by offering real time and historical relevant information on energy and utility performance in a format that is quick and easy to understand. The information provided will play an important part in the sustainability initiatives of any organisation bi or small. The mySmart enGauge panel is a powerful educational tool, with information relevant for every occupant of a building whether it be a staff member or a visiting client promoting energy efficiency, enviromental and sustainbility inititiaves that makes sense and is easy to understand. Education is an important factor and is a key part of energy savings initiatives in an organisation and probably one of the most important. Creating and reinforcing education for energy savings and energy management within an organisation is a catalyst which helps encourage long term changes to a sustainable practice and buillt environment through constant sustained action and understanding. If your team are not given the information then they cannot act - by providing an easy to understand format you can empower people to act not only short term but sustain that change over the longer term.
