T-MAC SHOWCASES THE 'GREEN POUND' AT THE ENERGY EVENT
July 1st 2008 Energy management and efficiency specialists, t-mac Technologies Ltd, will showcase its carbon footprint reducing technology at this year’s The Energy Event, National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham (10-11 September 2008, Stand 116).
The t-mac energy management system can aid businesses in identifying the energy consumption of their building and manage their carbon footprint, all via the Internet.
Lisa Wilkinson from t-mac Technologies explains: "Through the application of energy management technology businesses can cut their carbon footprint and up their green credentials significantly.
"The main energy polluters in the office and building environment are lighting, air conditioning and heating devices. Inadequate air conditioning and heating can pump out millions of wasted energy into the atmosphere, it can also leak energy without being detected by the user which is not only costly for the environment but also for business in terms of high and unnecessary electricity bills.
"Lighting also accounts for a huge proportion of energy use in the business environment, too much lighting impacts on overheating, excessive cooling of the building and over spending."
The t-mac system operates by gathering energy consumption information from sources of power, such as lighting or an air conditioning unit, and monitoring and controlling the energy consumption and emissions from these devices.
Businesses can set criteria on the energy conditions of the chosen equipment via t-mac, for example optimum heating levels and lighting on/off times, to ensure that potential energy sapping devices stay within preset 'carbon friendly' ranges. t-mac can also alert businesses via text message or email when equipment operates outside preset ranges.
t-mac works via the internet meaning it is fully interactive from any location 24 hours a day, seven days a week, retailers can log on to the t-mac webpage and turn temperatures gauges up/down, or turn on/off the lights instantly without having to go on site.
t-mac can highlight which equipment is using more energy and why and creates a plan to reduce energy consumption, improve equipment performance and gain best practice techniques.
Lisa Wilkinson continues: "over heating, excessive lighting, and too much cool air from air conditioning appliances is costly, not just for the bottom line but also for the environment.
"t-mac is one of the key technologies which can enable businesses to reduce carbon emissions by monitoring output and ensuring equipment is running efficiently. Now is the time for businesses to act and become not just energy efficient but also proactive in reducing energy use and cutting the UK's carbon footprint."
