Sabien has recently won a new order from O2 the mobile telecommunications company to install its M2G energy saving technology across all their corporate offices. The order is the result of an initial installation at two locations which demonstrated average energy savings of 27% and 16%, a total of 192 tonnes of carbon saved during that pilot period, and a positive return on investment at each site of under 14 months and 7 months respectively. Paul Eggleton, Energy Manager at O2, said: “We have been very impressed with the performance of the M2G units. They have lived up to all expectations and because they are so easy to fit there was no interruption in service to the two trial buildings. “We are now rolling out M2G to other corporate offices in our portfolio and look forward to seeing significantly reduced gas bills. The payback period is very good and we would recommend these to anyone with gas consuming sites.” The M2G is an intelligent boiler load optimisation controller that improves the efficiency of each individual boiler. A unit which can be retro-fitted to each boiler monitors the temperature of the water in the flow and return every 10 seconds and the information is recorded with heat transfer rates at the first and second stage firings. When a loading demand is made the system automatically checks the latest data it has stored and decides whether it is more economical to retain first stage firing or to introduce a second stage firing. The result is a substantial fuel reduction during less demanding situations while ensuring maximum capacity during heavy load periods. Sabien has recently launched M3G which reduces electricity consumption in commercial air-conditioning units. Both M2G and M3G are proven to reduce carbon and energy consumption by up to 35% with typical pay back in under 2 years. With interest in ‘green issues’ being at an all time high for private and public organisations, the need to achieve both financial savings as well as an improved environmental profile is becoming increasingly important in the Boardrooms of UK PLC. Rising energy prices also create a more immediate imperative to reduce energy consumption and cut energy costs. The urgency to seek new solutions is most definitely a growing feature of the market and consequently companies are beginning to implement energy strategies to meet challenging energy reduction targets. A number of customers are already using Sabien’s technology including the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Ford Motor Company, Bank of England, Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Investec Bank and an NHS Trust. The M2G is Carbon Trust approved and qualifies for the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme.
