520			_aReports a debate which considered why so few organisations embrace the advantages of energy efficient strategies for their buildings. It was felt that the way organisations make decisions is a key factor, with the reduction of operating costs in buildings still a low priority; the installation of energy efficient equipment often comes at the bottom of the list as the returns are seen as too long term. There is also a perceived lack of in-house expertise, which may get worse as energy managers are dispensed with. It was agreed that energy suppliers and managers must make greater efforts to sell the benefits of energy efficiency. Also considers the likely effectiveness of the energy labelling of non-domestic buildings and legislative standards.
