Industry and logistics
Energy and heat recovery for industrial, warehouse and logistics buildings where process loads often dominate building energy use.
Typical challenges
Industrial and logistics buildings often have process and cooling loads several times larger than the building’s own energy use. Waste heat is discharged while the heating system sources 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
- Door openings and infiltration dominating heat loss
- Lack of metering between process and building operations
What we deliver
We map energy and heat flows across process and building operations, and identify where heat recovery is technically and economically justified. For new buildings we support the BREEAM process with energy calculations, documentation and quality assurance. For existing facilities, we prioritise measures by payback period.
Outcomes
- Recovery of process heat 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
