A selection of top organisations have signed up to switch off with CIBSE's 100 Days of Carbon Cleaning Up Campaign, which helps to raise awareness of simple behavioural steps and managerial initiatives that can cut carbon emissions from buildings.

The 100 Days of Carbon Clean Up Campaign is run by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and sponsored by E.ON, one of the UK's leading power and gas companies. The 100 days campaign aims to help participants realise the carbon saving potential of their workplace, encouraging staff behavioural changes and managerial initiatives to reduce carbon emissions from their buildings.
