🔄 Evolving ESCO reuse: cross-sector

The different factors which are involved in the calculation and estimation of electricity consumption in a residence or facility, and methods in which electricity consumption can be lowered or made more efficient.

electricity consumption — the different factors which are involved in the calculation and estimation of electricity consumption in a residence or facility, and methods in which electricity consumption can be lowered or made more efficient. McKinsey's Skill Change Index places it in the evolving band (SCI 50.68/100) — the skill will still matter in 2030 but the nature of the work is changing. ESCO classifies it as a cross-sector (useful across many industries) skill within knowledge. It is currently listed by 5 occupations in our catalogue, including energy assessor, energy manager, energy systems engineer, and power distribution engineer.
