All societies now appear to be alive to the need for a clear and tangible commitment to fight climate change . To ensuring that we stop the unnecessary and wanton destruction of the world we live in .
It is widely accepted that the Construction Industry is in the top three of polluters in the world . In Gibraltar this figure is likely to be greater given our success in attracting investment . Whether Gibraltar or Spain however , the biggest challenge is the control of Energy waste within existing building portfolios which is by far the biggest consumer of energy .
To say that building and engineering practices have been lack in the past in the control of demand and use of energy is an understatement . The biggest challenge in this industry sector is therefore harnessing and controlling inefficiency within existing buildings .
In the excellent previous article , our colleagues at Coamba rightly put emphasis on the Universities in the area and highlight the need for transparent and ethical practices in this obviously important and influential sector .
At EVG in Gibraltar with our sister company EES in Spain , we have been working at developing tools for this precise problem . How to bring existing installations into control . How to provide consultancy services backed by engineering expertise that not only creates renewable energy where this is possible , or control and monitor the use of energy but provides real tangible advice on how to control systems and mitigate unnecessary energy wastage .
The economic consequences of the increased cost in energy is enormous . This reality is creating tremendous demand which in turn has resulted in a rush to market of products and services .
In next month ’ s issue we shall explain exactly what solutions we shall bring to market . Meanwhile if you have an installation that is wasteful , if you are confused by the sheer number of offers – do not hesitate to contact us on 00 ( 350 ) 54000826 or 00 ( 34 ) 677712329 .
