ECA call for case studies of Net Zero Carbon work
The climate emergency is changing the way we live. By delivering the changes, electrotechnical firms are essential to achieving Net Zero Carbon.
The Electrical Contractors Association Members are seizing opportunities to create a cleaner world. ECA supports the skills and technologies crucial to reaching Net Zero Carbon in the UK by 2050 and is looking for examples of innovation and good practice in low carbon installation from across its Membership.
Note that case studies will only be accepted if accompanied by the name and contact details of the person submitting the case study. If it is intended to publish the case study approval will be sought on the final version, as case studies may be edited for brevity and consistency.
Invitations are open to submit case studies from ECA members to [email protected], using the simple template which can be downloaded here.
Please submit case studies in word format.
The case study should be:
- A demonstration of low-carbon electrotechnical and/or engineering services work, or
- A demonstration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy in practice, with measurable outcomes.
ECA works closely with its Members, industry partners and Government to help Britain transition to Net Zero Carbon. We produce regular guidance notes, technical bulletins, and industry updates to keep Members at the forefront of the Net Zero transition. Learn more here.
