A LOGISTICS company is embracing new technologies and challenging conventional usage of lighting and heating across its Redditch-based offices and warehouses.
Oakland International is looking forward to seeing considerable energy and CO2 savings, through another solar panel installation, expected to generate around 114,059 kWh of electricity a year - enough to run all of its lighting for nearly two years.
The firm’s managing director, Dean Attwell, said: “We have a number of environmental schemes happening, which are already delivering and supporting the business’s long-term sustainable growth agenda.”
Through the use of environmental technologies such as the Photovoltaic Solar Panels, Oakland is significantly accelerating its goal of becoming a fully carbon-neutral company.
With a total system size of 200Kva, utilising 800 Photovoltaic Solar Panels across its extended site, savings of around 80,000 kgCO2 per year are being made.
“The use of efficient technologies is assisting our capacity to remain competitive at a time when energy costs continue to rise,” added Mr Attwell.
Oakland International completed the Carbon Trust’s verification process in September, 2012.
