Industry and logistics
Energy and heat recovery for industrial, warehouse, and logistics buildings where process loads often dominate building energy use.
Typical challenges
In many industrial and logistics assets, process and cooling loads exceed the building’s own energy use by several multiples. Valuable waste heat is rejected while the heating system brings in new energy. Warehouses often ventilate and heat large volumes without demand control, and new logistics buildings increasingly face BREEAM requirements from tenants and investors.
- Unrecovered process heat
- Heat loss dominated by door openings and infiltration
- Insufficient metering separating process and building operations
What we deliver
We map energy and heat flows across process and building operations, and pinpoint where heat recovery is technically viable and economically justified. For new buildings, we support BREEAM with energy calculations, documentation, and quality assurance. For existing facilities, we prioritise measures by payback period.
Outcomes
- Process heat recovered for space heating and domestic hot water
- 15-30% reduction in building-related energy use
- BREEAM credits for energy and monitoring
- Measurement and reporting structure that separates process from building operations
