Enigin: Public Sector A Bad Student In Climate Change Class

Enigin: Public Sector A Bad Student In Climate Change Class

The UK's public sector buildings are emitting 27% more CO2 than previously estimated, which is costing the country a staggering £4 billion per annum in energy bills.

The situation calls for the initiation of a major refurbishment program, as the UK targets a 30% reduction in carbon emissions from '99 levels by 2020.

The most cost-effective way recognised worldwide as being the essential solution to reducing carbon emissions from public buildings is the switch to energy efficient methods.

Companies like Enigin PLC exist to provide businesses with the most appropriate energy saving solutions, enabling them to save considerable amounts of money on energy costs and giving them the opportunity to drastically reduce their impact on the environment by decreasing their carbon output.

Enigin energy saving solutions reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces the business' carbon footprint and has the great advantage of saving business owners a lot of money, previously wasted on excessively high energy bills.

Among the top polluting sectors are the medical and prison industries.

Since October 2008, public authorities have been obliged by law to display a certificate relating to the level of CO2 emissions they produce. These levels are ranked in color-coded bands, ranging from 'A' to 'G', with 'G' being the worst.

Some 5,000 other organisations found themselves in the lowest bracket, while only 151 buildings were in the highest.

UK public sector buildings urgently need to invest in energy efficiency, in order to reach the country's emission reduction targets on time.

Enigin can provide the most cost-effective solution to this need, with the latest technology in energy efficiency made available through their wide variety of products.

Many applications that consume excess energy can be made more efficient by the addition of Enigin energy saving solutions, for example lighting, refrigeration, air conditioning and motors.

The initial cost of implementing Enigin PLC's energy saving solutions can be set agaist a return of investment within a few months as the costs reduce.

In becoming energy efficient, UK public sector buildings can expect to drastically reduce their impact on the environment, which is central to achieving  the 30% cut target the government has put in place.

Hospitals, prisons, and all other public buildings are responsible for a third of total emissions. Therefore, reducing their carbon output through Enigin energy saving equipment would have a widely positive outcome in substantially reducing pollution levels.
