Their independent, articulate and transparent approach has really helped us to engage with colleagues and stakeholders within the CAA as to the benefits of ‘energy efficiency’. We continue to work closely with Eco-Nomics and their technology partners to implement the identified measures across the building that will deliver tangible savings and help demonstrate our commitment to 'greening the CAA'.
