One small change - BCIA

BCIA, controls, Jon Belfield

The Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) is encouraging people in the building controls sector to make one small change to their everyday lives to improve energy efficiency in buildings and create a more sustainable future.

BCIA president Jon Belfied points out that controls engineers can play an important role in improving building energy efficiency, but he adds that more can be done: “I would like to challenge everyone in the building controls industry to share their own methods of saving energy in a building or your workplace be they large or small.

“It is the combined difference that we make together that will make the overall change we wish to see.”

The BCIA is asking that people use social media to promote simple but effective energy saving ideas with the aim of sharing succesful strategies.

“Post it on Twitter, LinkedIn or your website with the hashtag #OneSmallChange and let’s see what we can learn from each other while collectively improving today’s commercial buildings” says Belfield.
