Eaton-Williams ENERGY SAVER® product programme
June 01st 2005

Eaton-Williams, the UK’s leading designer and manufacturer of ventilation, air conditioning, humidification, close control and process cooling products, has always been a solutions-led company with a commitment to energy saving . Since the launch of its ‘Energy Saver’ programme in 1995, long before the environment featured on any government’s agenda, Eaton-Williams has continued to implement a group-wide energy saving initiative. The main drivers of the strategy focus on the environment and CO2 reductions, Part L of the Building Regulations, sustainability and the cost of ownership.

The Met Office in Exeter widely acclaimed as one the country’s most energy efficient buildings and in receipt of a building of excellence rating by BREEAM benefited from Moducel AHUs, IPAC close control units, Vapac humidifiers and Colman grilles, louvres and diffusers.

Energy efficiency played a pivotal role in the specification of equipment by the building services consultants.

Vapac’s gas fired humidifiers were specified by Jaguar for its emissions testing facility in Coventry to provide humidity control within ±2% as an energy efficient alternative to standard electrode boilers.

Westferry Printers, Europe’s largest printer of national newspapers replaced electrode boilers with three large gas fired steam generators manufactured by Vapac, to achieve greater temperature and humidity control, reducing electricity consumption, and saving in excess of £100,000 per annum on their energy bills. The Eden Project in Cornwall, one of the top UK tourist attractions is symbolic of Eaton-Williams solutions-led approach in. A unique structure composed of gigantic biomes, the largest measuring some 45metres high required an innovative conditioning solution that conformed to the owners’ strict environmental criteria. No fewer than 33 custom-built Moducel air handling units provide the necessary tempered fresh air in harmony with the seasons to sustain a suitable environment for the many exotic plants and their animal protectors.

The British Airways’ London Eye, in itself a feat of engineering and electronic design characterises Eaton-Williams’ innovative design skills in providing a comfortable environment that copes with the vagaries of the British weather and capsules doors being flung open every half hour! A limited power supply dictated the requirements for energy efficiency. Custom built close control units were designed with a small footprint to operate using minimal power yet dynamically controlling the air conditioning and humidification.

Edenaire’s new e-BTX air handlers with a 50% increase in energy efficiency and proven costs savings. The e-BTX incorporates the latest advances in fans, controllers, software and mechanical components and delivers air conditioning wherever there is a need for a precision air controlled environment.

Eaton-Williams’ proactive approach towards environmental considerations tempered with customer demands for optimal performance and maximum efficiency will keep the company at the fore front and first choice for end users.
