Energy360 in Action
British Gas Business has years of experience working with UK businesses of all sizes, in all sectors. This means we appreciate and understand the many different issues organisations face. Here are a few of the occasions when our expert teams of engineers and technical experts have put their skills into action.
BAA
BMSi, part of British Gas Business, is responsible for energy management and buildings management systems at Terminal 4, as well as other projects at Terminals 1, 2 and 3, Stansted, and a number of other locations. Increase in air traffic placed additional pressures on Terminal 4's infrastructure and existing technologies meant there was room for improvement in energy usage.
In 2004, BMSi put together a proposal outlining ways of saving energy, resulting in a series of highly successful projects. Predictions of £103,000 savings a year were eclipsed with actual savings of £136,000 per year. CO2 savings also came in at 33% above forecast, and HV readings showed a monthly improvement of 37%. Impressively, the project had been achieved at a relatively low cost, requiring no major financial investment. As a result, the team has been awarded the responsibility for Terminal 5 as well.

Thatcham
Thatcham provide a unique range of products and services to the insurance and motor repair industries to help improve safety and security. They wanted to reduce their carbon footprint, generate green energy on site and still have a reasonable financial payback period.
Energy360 were there to help. A series of surveys across their five sites was followed by the installation of a number of energy saving solutions such as eight micro wind turbines. These changes helped Thatcham identify and realise annual savings of 110 tonnes of CO2 emissions and £20,000 from their energy bill. And all in a payback estimate of less than three years.
