Stepping up efficiency February 1st 2008 EcoCooling was called in to
provide an energy efficient and
effective solution to cool the top
floor of Stylo Barratts' three floor
distribution warehouse in Bradford.
The top floor, measuring 85 x 75m
is the main picking area and due to
a large number of skylights and
single skin roof, the working
conditions were oppressively hot
during summer.
Fifteen EcoCooling ECPD down
discharge coolers and six extract
fans were installed.A basic control
system ensures that the air input
and extract systems work together
and simple time clocks allows the
system to shut down at the end of
each day.The air is distributed
down the main picking aisles and
over the unpacking and dispatch
zones. Site facilities manager Keith
Pemberton confirmed that there
were noticeable decreases in
absenteeism and a better working
atmosphere both literally and
metaphorically since the
completion of the installation. More articles from EcoCooling (UK) Ltd: |
