• Light fittings are additionally controlled by presence detectors and timers to ensure they are switched off when nobody is present.
• Heating Systems incorporate high efficiency boilers, economising controllers and thermostatic valves.
• External / security lighting is fitted with ambient light level sensors to ensure it is only activated when dark.
• Toilets are controlled by electronic presence valves to significantly reduce water usage.
• Dyson 'low energy' hand dryers are in operation in toilets to reduce energy usage.
• All company vehicles are diesel powered and are chosen for their low CO2 output.
