Energy-saver buildings

Portakabin has expanded its modular building options with the launch of its Energy-Saver range which has been engineered to reduce energy usage by more than 60%.

The Portakabin Solus and Titan Energy-Saver buildings, which were developed in collaboration with environmental consultant Energy Building, have been independently assessed and achieve an Energy Performance Certificate 'A' rating, putting them among the bestperforming sustainable buildings available in the UK. They use up to 63% less energy than the standard Portakabin Solus and Titan buildings, which already offer high levels of energy efficiency.

Available to buy for permanent applications and to hire for interim solutions, the buildings have: Air source heat pumps which use outside air to produce about 4.5kW of heating for every 1kW of electricity consumed and high frequency, energy-efficient lighting controlled by motion detection (PIR) sensors and dimmer controls.
