According to a poll amongst company directors and senior managers carried out by The Energst1, a large majority (93 per cent) of firms plan to implement energy efficiency measures in the next 12 months. Of these, over half state they will invest in building controls and behavioural changes.
Kevin Norman, senior product marketing manager at Newey & Eyre comments: ‘It is great to see more businesses embrace sustainable principles and willing to invest in green technologies – particularly when it comes to control products which really are the linchpin to any energy management strategy.
‘When it comes to lighting, for example, although more emphasis is placed on the choice of lighting, the control represents a big opportunity to use it more efficiently and, in turn, cut costs. In fact, it is estimated that lighting controls can eliminate 60 per cent or more of the wasted lighting energy in buildings while enhancing occupant comfort and productivity.’
