Energy improvements and funding for UK schools [webinar recording]
Oxfordshire’s buildings are old, inefficient, and constantly wasting energy. In fact, in the UK buildings are responsible for 29% of total carbon emissions – and that includes our school buildings. Not only is this a disaster for the environment, it’s also leaving schools like yours with high energy bills that leave you cutting costs elsewhere,…
O2 to cut emissions from data centres through energy efficiency improvements
O2 has announced that they have invested in innovative energy-efficient cooling equipment to regulate the temperature of data centres and core network sites. These will replace traditional electric-powered air conditioning and transitional gas-based refrigeration. In 2016, it was reported that the world’s data centres used more than Britain’s total annual electricity consumption – 416.2TWh, significantly higher than the…

In the UK we’re lucky to have a wealth of historic and listed buildings. Some of these are homes, but many operate as businesses, often in the hospitality or tourism industries. Older buildings tend to have more complex issues when it comes to energy being wasted in the building, and they require a specific approach.…
The most common energy saving opportunities for manufacturing businesses
Manufacturing and engineering businesses tend to be high energy users, with annual energy bills well exceeding £10,000. Not only does this cut into business profits, it also needlessly adds to overall carbon emissions from human activity – which, as you’ll be aware, are already dangerously high. This means there’s huge opportunity in the manufacturing industry…
