Energy and Environment Office Activities
The Energy Adviser
Most energy and environment offices have a permanently employed energy adviser. He or she is responsible for the daily management of the office. In addition their work is to give free and unbiased advice - mainly to private people - on supply of renewable energy sources, and energy saving measures, etc. But also institutions can of course approach the office.
The energy advisers have usually acquired their knowledge through active involvement in development and implementation of renewable energy plants. They are experienced in information search and hearing of authorities, and have often a technical, trades or other similar background. In addition the energy advisers have completed some courses on renewable energy, and they currently follow in-service courses and other technical cooperation organized by Associated Eriergy and Enviroriment Offices.
An energy adviser can not be expert in a11 fields. But the expertice at the individual energy and environment office does not only depend on him or her, but also on the background group. If there are special requirements that can not be met by the energy adviser or the background group, contact can be made to another energy and environment office with expertice in the specific field.
