Audit secures funding
June 1st 2010 Union Industries, manufacturer of
the Matadoor range of Hi-Speed
Doors, has helped The Bond Group
secure an interest-free loan from the
Carbon Trust as part of a major
energy saving project at its premises
in Sheerness. Union carried out one
of its Carbon Trust approved energy
audits at The Bond Group facility,
which enabled the company to
secure funding for new Union
Bulldoors.
Privately owned by the
management team, The Bond Group
is a refrigeration display case remanufacturer,
supplying major
supermarkets from its Sheerness,
Kent and Stoke on Trent branches.
The company also operates a New
Cabinet Division in Telford.
As well as using the Bulldoors to
assist with eradicating energy loss
from loading bays and despatch
areas, The Bond Group enlisted
Union's help with a programme to
change internal factory lighting to
become more energy-efficient.
Union Industries then incorporated
this into their loan submission for
funding from the Carbon Trust.
In addition to carrying out the
audit, Union Industries provided
heat and energy loss payback
calculations to the Carbon Trust in
order for the loan to be processed.
The heat loss calculation system was
independently verified by a Carbon
Trust appointed consultant.
The interest-free-loan provided
by the Carbon Trust, is designed to
pay for itself through the energy
savings that replacement equipment
provides. The new doors are
expected to provide energy savings
in the excess of £10,000 including a
saving of in excess of £5,000 from
the energy-efficient lighting.
Union's Bulldoors, which are part
of their Matadoor Range of Hi-Speed
Doors, can play a major role in
preventing heat loss from commercial
and industrial premises. Due to their
reliable operation and fast operating
speeds, the Matadoor range ensures
minimal opportunity for heat loss or
the ingress of cold air. More articles from Union Industries: |
