Sustainable solutions outlined in brochure
March 1st 2007 Climate change is big news these days with CO2 emissions mentioned almost daily on TV and in the Press. For those involved in designing, building, maintaining or running premises, this places a strategic focus on the energy use of individual buildings in a way never seen before. Legislation is being introduced in the form of Renewable Energy Targets, which point to the increased use of sustainable energy with businesses needing to demonstrate that their buildings are energy efficient and minimise CO2 emissions. Energy costs are rising year on year, so it also makes sense to monitor and reduce energy consumption. But, just what sustainable technology is available these days? How do you carry on providing consistent levels of heating and cooling for your building in a modern, environmentally-friendly way that doesn't mean reinventing the wheel? And where can you find information about the products that can help you develop a sustainable strategy for your premises? Mitsubishi Electric has launched a brochure looking at Sustainable Energy solutions which highlights the benefits of heat pump-based air conditioning over traditional forms of heating and cooling. The company says tests have shown that a heat pump will produce 57% less carbon emissions when compared to a gas boiler and offer a 34% reduction in running costs. Efficiency levels are said to be more than 300% better than a modern gas-fired condensing boiler More articles from Mitsubishi Electric Europe: |
