There is a real drive for building occupants , managers and owners to utilise resources within the built environment more effectively now more than ever before . At VES , we know that understanding and influencing energy and sustainability will continue to be a critical facilitator in providing ever increasing control of good decision making .

Our ability to respond to changes in building usage is strengthened by being aware of the choices made at business level , as we work to help stakeholders meet their environmental and commercial goals . We must also remain mindful of our long-term responsibilities to find ways to improve how we utilise precious resources as we develop over time .

We believe that by embedding energy and sustainability goals and drivers within all our strategic decisions , we ensure constant progress and real tangible benefits along our transformation journey .

Our Collaborative Approach

We work closely with business and technology partners to allow us to build upon the fundamentals of their expertise ; key partners include Ziehl Abegg for fan & motor technology , Siemens Building Technology for controls and building integration , Hoval for energy recovery technology . Like us , their vision lies in creating energy efficient and sustainable environments to ensure technologies are used to the fullest potential ; making every improvement easier to implement and longer lasting whilst ensuring future value can be unlocked through data built within the DNA of the solution .

By bringing together these leading technologies within our own field of expertise in heating , ventilation and air conditioning , we can not only build ventilation systems to meet energy and sustainability standards for new buildings - we can facilitate energy improvement solutions for existing buildings which create lasting value and make a difference to occupants , building operation and environmental impact .

No single technology applied in isolation can drive the energy and sustainability requirements of the future ; just like our business partnerships , solutions are best achieved through a collaborative approach based upon tangible data and information which ensures consistent effective results with the ability to continuously drive improvements through using the embedded data , which is captured and analysed as part of the solution .

Replacing a belt driven centrifugal fan with an EC plug fan to perform the same duty can yield notable energy savings on its own . However , by understanding the purpose and usage of the area being served , we can ensure that even more energy is saved through optimised fan and motor selections and introducing modulating speed in response to intelligent demand control . We can use occupancy readings to ensure energy used on heating can be effectively reduced by introducing a controlled balance between fresh air intake , return and recirculated air , and usage of energy recovery devices such as thermal wheels .

Along with associated reductions in maintenance requirements , and by working with our partners to bring together solutions in multiple air handling systems across buildings or whole estates , we can assist you and your partners in making a real and lasting impact on energy and sustainability in the buildings and estates you are responsible for .

Business case and investment

By packaging our energy and sustainability business cases so they make sound business and financial investment sense , proposals can be delivered with equal priority alongside more conventional business investments . With the ever-growing pressures on the cost and utilisation of resources within the built environment , our energy and sustainability investments can provide far greater financial return and value than many other capital investments being considered .

We have a wide spectrum of technical experts covering the UK , ready to meet and evaluate possible energy initiatives helping you progress along your own energy and sustainability journey .
