Planet-Friendly Ventilation
Ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent have reduced their Scope 1 and 2 emissions in their mission to become Net Zero by 2030. Below they give examples of some of the actions which have led to this reduction.
EnviroVent have committed to becoming Net Zero by 2030. As part of this, they have instigated a number of sustainability practices to reduce their carbon footprint. Several of these actions have reduced their scope 1 and 2 emissions by increasing energy efficiency and switching to cleaner fuels.
Zero Carbon office:
EnviroVent’s new Harrogate Headquarters aims to be zero carbon and the company has saved hundreds of tonnes in carbon emissions at its current premises by making many small and large changes.
LED Lighting
EnviroVent has replaced inefficient traditional filament and halogen lighting and is rolling out a system of low energy LED motion-activated lighting throughout the distribution centre, warehouse and production areas. This ensures that these areas are only lit when needed, which will dramatically reduce energy usage by 87.5%.
Energy reduction
EnviroVent wanted to reduce the amount of heat loss from its warehouse when doors were opened. The answer was to invest in fast action shutter doors to reduce the time it takes for the doors to open and close. This has dramatically reduced heat loss, helping to save on heating costs and also lessening the environmental impact.
30% reduction in fuel
By fitting tracking devices to all its commercial fleet, EnviroVent has managed to reduce overall fuel consumption by 30%. Its trackers monitor driver behaviour, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The result is a 38% reduction in CO2 emissions, 47,000 litres less fuel used and a saving of over £45,000 over 5 years. In addition, the company is committed to buying cleaner efficient Euro 6 compliant vehicles and at end of life selling them to local businesses for reuse or spares.
Hybrid Cars
After reviewing its company car policy, EnviroVent introduced a number of mild hybrid cars to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. These have a battery that self-charges by using the energy from the brakes and continually runs alongside the engine. The battery doesn’t need to be plugged in and therefore consumes no electricity.
