Greenworks Training Academy is encouraging installers to make energy-efficiency training part of their New Year’s resolutions.

There is now a greater demand for trade professionals to install sustainable technology such as solar panels, heat pumps and rainwater harvesting systems.

A report released by the Energy Saving Trust last year, revealed that the UK is using less energy due to advanced technology and government policy. With more homeowners turning off radiators in unused rooms and LED bulbs rising in popularity, energy usage will continue to decrease and the demand for sustainable technology will rise. There has also been an increase in the number of homeowners installing solid wall insulation, spurred on by the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund (GDHIF).

Greenworks offers a range of training courses to help installers take advantage of the increase in demand, including becoming an energy assessor or a Green Deal advisor, as well as a number of free one-day courses to learn more about the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and internal wall insulation.

The courses provide trade professionals with all the in-depth advice, training and support they need to improve their knowledge and understanding of sustainable building solutions in order to open up new business opportunities. They are led by specialist training companies and manufacturers who offer first-class knowledge and professional guidance to everyone who trains at the academy.

Installers can keep up to date with the latest trends on Greenworks website via the Installer Toolbox, which provides guides, tutorials and business relating to the sustainable market and building solutions.
