Building Solutions Implement Energy Efficiency Project For The
Lowry
 The
Lowry in Salford Quays is going green with help from Manchester-based
building maintenance experts, HFL Building Solutions, part of
the Haden Freeman Engineering Group. The company has implemented
new technology to reduce the theatre’s energy costs and
usage by up to 50%, as well as lessening its environmental footprint.
In addition to offering energy audits, consultancy for energy
grants, and awareness training for staff, HFL Building Solutions
has developed a unique software programme specifically for building
and facilities managers to monitor and budget for assets within
a complex.
The technology ensures greater energy efficiency as performance
of equipment is constantly tracked with low efficiency appliances
identified for replacement with greener and cheaper products.
John Toomer, Facilities Manager at The Lowry, said: “The
new system is extremely useful, allowing us to review our current
equipment costs at the touch of a button with the ability to forecast
our budgets for the next 25 - 35 years.
“HFL Building Solutions also identified areas where simple
changes could result in significant improvements. The lighting
in the main glass atrium has been replaced to reduce energy usage
and our HVAC (heating and ventilation) systems have been fitted
with variable speed drives (VSD) which reduce energy output by
up to 50%.”
HFL Building Solutions also offer support and guidance on the
Government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme, designed
to encourage businesses to invest in energy-saving equipment.
Dave Saxton, a Director at HFL Building Solutions, said: “The
majority of our clients have heard about the ECA scheme, but are
unsure if they qualify or not. Part of our new environmental offering
is to identify eligible equipment and advise on the application
process.”
HFL Building Solutions provide the experience and technical expertise
to deliver efficient and cost-effective management, operational
and maintenance solutions for today’s modern and technically
complex buildings.
