Uptake of Micro-generation among Small Organisations - Peter Warren - Bog

The recent introduction of feed-in tariffs and renewable heat incentives in the UK has provided a new financial incentive for the installation of micro-generation, but so far there has been limited research on its uptake in small organisations. The book explores the perceived barriers and incentives to installation among small organisations and assesses how micro-generation is viewed in the context of wider environmental management measures. The discussion surrounding indirect economic incentives, such as ¿green marketing¿, and non-economic barriers is particularly interesting, and leads to the suggestion of an Energy Hierarchy Framework model as a useful tool for small organisations in the adoption of micro-generation and wider environmental management measures. The book also draws on the Camden Climate Change Alliance (CCCA) as an effective model for encouraging a greater uptake of environmental management in small organisations and improving business efficiency.
