OUR CHAMPION

NICK PALOUSIS

Net Zero Business Advisor

To say Nick Palousis is enthusiastic about energy efficiency would be an understatement. He’s a true believer, an absolute font of knowledge, and chatting with him, his enthusiasm is infectious. 

 

“The cheapest form of energy is the one you don’t use,” Nick explains. “That’s really the principle of energy efficiency. If we can find more intelligent ways of using energy, not just generating energy, then we’re reducing our costs, and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.”
