Clean Energy
Engineering A Low Carbon Future
We simply have to prepare for the low carbon economy. We will be forced to act more responsibly to control our energy consumption and reduce our carbon emissions through the Government initiatives now being implemented to ensure we reduce our carbon footprint. This change will require fresh thinking on everyone's part. We see this as an opportunity for businesses and not a cost or handicap - it provides us with the freedom for fresh thinking.
At R&D Services we carry out a survey on each project we undertake, providing you with a detailed report on how you can reduce your energy consumption and carbon emissions. See the R&D energy calculator for an estimate on how much your carbon footprint could be reduced by.

Waterloo Quay Properties - Fitness Centre
Waterloo Quay Properties approached R&D Services to assist them in finding a energy efficient and environmentally friendly solution to the lighting in their on-site fitness centre. As one of the North-East's premier office complexes - with over 50 businesses and 500 workers on-site daily - its gym and squash courts were in frequent use. Problems arose however during off-peak times when certain areas of the centre were not in use but still used the same lighting and energy. This resulted in higher than anticipated usage and cost for the area, as well as an increased carbon footprint.
As the complex's lighting and electrical partner, R&D Services put together a solution that included energy efficient lamps and a top of the line infra-red and motion detector system throughout the centre. This not only decreased the carbon footprint but also saw a drastic reduction in the annual energy cost of the facility without compromising the experience for users.
