Energy auditing helps the environment

McKinnon and Clarke call on global industry leaders to address its energy wastage that, it claims, is a major factor in climate change.

The worst CO2 emissions recorded in history were reported earlier this year, prompting energy analyst, McKinnon and Clarke, to call on global industry leaders to address its energy wastage that, it claims, is a major factor in climate change.

The international energy analyst is urging industry leaders to play their part in dealing with the problem by addressing their energy usage, and says that businesses can no longer afford to ignore the 'freak' weather conditions that prove the environment is under threat: only recently Cornwall in the UK was shocked by floods, and South Africa and Florida were devastated by a series of hurricanes.

McKinnon and Clarke has urged the government to step up the pressure on the commercial sector to take responsibility for their energy efficiency performance.

Simon Northrop, managing director of McKinnon and Clarke explained: "While industry leaders may have become more shrewd in their utility purchasing as prices rise, this does not address the real issue threatening the world we live in - energy wastage.

Legislation is such that businesses are able to manipulate data and measurement principles to hit targets but we face the very real danger of hitting government targets in the future with no corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions.

"Industry can no longer afford to ignore a very real issue to which it is contributing.

Drastic action is needed if the environment is to be saved.".
