Industry and Logistics
Energy and heat recovery for industrial, warehouse and logistics buildings where process loads often dominate building operation.
Typical challenges
Industrial and logistics buildings often have process and cooling loads that are several times larger than the building's own energy use. Waste heat is released while the heating system purchases additional energy. Warehouses have large volumes that are ventilated and heated without demand control, and new logistics buildings increasingly face BREEAM certification requirements from tenants and investors.
- Process heat that is not recovered
- Loading-door openings and infiltration that dominate heat loss
- Lack of metering between process and building operation
What we deliver
We map energy and heat flows across process and building operations and identify where heat recovery is technically and economically viable. For new buildings we support the BREEAM process with energy calculations, documentation and quality assurance. For existing facilities we prioritise measures by payback time.
Outcomes
- Recovery of process heat for space heating and domestic hot water
- 15-30% reduction in building-related energy use
- BREEAM credits in energy and monitoring
- Metering and reporting structure that separates process from building operation
