The energy awareness training programme aims to help local authorities use their influence to reduce energy use throughout their wider community.

The resource is freely available to all councils in Scotland and is designed so that the training programme can be run in-house with little need for external support. A commitment document has been devised for each local authority to sign, which outlines the percentage or number of staff to be trained over a specific timeframe.
