We take energy for granted. Without it we\u2019d be back to the stone age.<\/p>\n<p>However, over the last decade climate change and its implications has become a serious threat to humanity and millions of other species. Carbon emissions are still increasing. Over the last few years CO2 has been increasing at a rate of 2.5 parts per million (ppm). This means that in only 16 short years we will hit the danger mark of 450ppm. This gives us little contingency to mitigate reaching 450ppm.<\/p>\n<p>Buildings account for 40% of the world\u2019s energy consumption. IES was founded on the basis of \u2018how can we make buildings better and more energy efficient\u2019. In order to maintain our standard of living we will require energy, but our use of energy must be much more efficient. The main focus should be on energy efficiency of buildings before using renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>As a species we\u2019ve done marvellous things. For example: we\u2019re the only species that understand how planets and the solar system works at one extreme, to fully understanding the consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels. Wouldn\u2019t it be tragic if out of blatant stupidity we ruin what we have achieved by ignoring climate change and leaving future generations to suffer the consequences?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start saving energy NOW for future generations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iesve.com\/website\/manifesto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Here\u2019s our manifesto.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iesve.com\/website\/manifesto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/manifesto-e1558013952515.jpg\" alt=\"Saving energy manifesto\" width=\"700\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Don McLean, IES Founder and CEO, discussing the importance of saving energy in the ever-growing need to save the planet as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[172711,673,279,26498],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172460],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-57152","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-energy-news","7":"tag-energy-insight","8":"tag-energy","9":"tag-environment","10":"tag-sh-integrated-environmental-solutions-ltd","11":"stakeholder_rel_tag-integrated-environmental-solutions"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why we should be saving energy: A manifesto for saving the planet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dr Don McLean, IES Founder and CEO, discussing the importance of saving energy in the ever-growing need to save the planet as a whole.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/saving-energy-manifesto\/57152\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why we should be saving energy: A manifesto for saving the planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dr Don McLean, IES Founder and CEO, discussing the importance of saving energy in the ever-growing need to save the planet as a whole.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/saving-energy-manifesto\/57152\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
