The Energy Referee is a fun way to engage with all members of staff to ensure they switch off their computers, monitors and laptops off at night as well as unplugging phone chargers and similar items. During Wembley’s annual Green Week, the Energy Referee visits each of the 500 desks in the offices in the evening and issues a yellow card for a first time offence of e.g. leaving a monitor switched on, and a red card for a second offence.

Without the CRC driving carbon reduction, the green sector would have really struggled over the last few years. It has kept energy efficiency on the agenda and we believe it will lead to a very positive 2012.

(Jamie Buchanan, Chief Operating Officer at powerPerfector)
