Utility costs are already increasing and are set to increase again in October. The webinar explores what institutions can do to reduce the impact.

Overview

This webinar is being delivered by Dr Samantha Mudie from the University of Reading.

Annual energy costs for the hospitality sector are in excess of £6 billion pounds at today’s record prices, yet recent research demonstrates savings of over 70% may be achieved with simple operational modifications and <2 payback periods. This session outlines several energy and carbon reduction projects from low cost, effective behaviour change campaigns targeting front of house teams, kitchen staff, management, and head office, to complex and innovative menu and equipment modelling for a net zero carbon operation.

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost.
