Big Business Refit: interest grows November 1st 2009 The Carbon Trust has called on UK
air conditioning suppliers to take
advantage of a sales opportunity
arising from its equipment scrappage
scheme: The Big Business Refit.
This provides small and medium
businesses with £100m in interest-free
funding to replace old equipment and
install new, energy efficient upgrades.
About £3.5m of this money is likely to
be spent on air conditioning and
refrigeration, according to Carbon
trust estimates.
The Big Business Refit was launched
in September after research revealed
that 52% of British businesses don't
have the cash to upgrade inefficient
equipment. Carbon Trust has
experienced a 250% surge in enquiries
about the loans, as more businesses
become aware of the opportunity to
cut energy bills by scrapping old
equipment. More articles from The Carbon Trust: |
