Save hundreds of tonnes of carbon
August 1st 2008 To help warehouses and
distribution centres meet the
new Energy Performance
Building Directive (EPBD),
low carbon induction HVAC
specialist JET Environmental
can deliver fuel savings of
over 50%, saving hundreds
of tonnes of carbon per year.
Specialising in climate
control solutions for large
volume, open plan industrial,
commercial and
pharmaceutical buildings, JET
Environmental focuses on
the delivery of air induction
systems. The EPBD legislation
covers the energy efficiency
of buildings over 10,000m2,
requiring buildings to display
an Energy Performance
Certificate (EPC). "Many
warehouses and large old
sheds which are used for
storage facilities can be
incredibly difficult to heat
and cool, and energy
wasteful," says Robert
Simpson, JET's MD. "For the
first time, under the EPBD,
owners will be subject to an
energy labelling scheme
placing them under a
responsibility to optimise the
building's energy
consumption. The JET air
induction system is a proven,
low carbon option perfectly
attuned to providing energy
efficient heating and cooling
in sheds and other large
industrial space applications."
A series of self-balanced
jet nozzles direct warm or
cool air into the space from
roof level. The nozzles are
connected via ductwork to
an air handling unit and
selected heating/cooling
source. It also captures any
waste heat generated in the
space. JET systems provide
free cooling in summer by
releasing large volumes of
fresh air into the building
and carrying out a night time
purge when external
temperatures are lower than
the desired internal
temperature. More articles from Jet Environmental: |
