Sustainability Solutions
With sustainability being a major global concern, businesses
across vertical markets are looking at how they can be "seen to be
green".
The J Brand mentality is to work with Green Technologies that, not
only meet the Government's environmental requirements, but also
offer clients a real and demonstrable return on investment.
Voltage Optimisation
An excellent example of this is the work that J Brand has carried
out with power Voltage Power Optimisation® (VPO) technology,
which reduces organisation's electricity consumption, costs and
carbon emissions, whilst also protecting the electrical
infrastructure from poor power quality and spikes.
Solar PV
By installing Photovoltaic (PV) on your farm buildings and
warehouses ensures you have a good 'financial harvest' for the next
25 years.
Under the Governments Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme by installing PV
panels on your buildings you will be paid each year for the
generation of energy, with the payments inflated each year by the
Retail Price Index (RPI) which is currently at 5.2% pa (August
2011). Once generated the electricity is free to use in your
business, substantially reducing your expensive utility bills. The
Government will even pay you to export any excess energy back to
the national grid. This is an outstanding investment opportunity
for farmers and other businesses.
J Brand, as an MCS approved installer, has become specialist in agricultural and commercial photovoltaic solutions. Each system is bespoke; tailored to the needs and facilities of each individual client. Through our connections with the farming community, J Brand has installed, sold and proposed large installations at multiple farming locations. Click here to see a sustainability case study.
Intelligent Metering
It is often said that there is no point in trying to save energy
until you have measured what energy you are using.
J Brand has a range of purpose built monitoring solutions for
retrofit, new build and legacy electrical installation monitoring,
which enables power usage to be monitored and managed.
These can be permanent fittings, or temporary portable metering
solutions.
Low Energy and LED Lighting
J Brand work with major manufactures who offer a full range
of low energy and LED lamps as a direct replacement for various
standard lighting applications such as low energy and mains halogen
down lights and Tungsten halogen flood lights.
J Brand can organise a lighting survey where we will provide
a full detailed report on the existing lighting. Then, based on the
location, the duration of operation and the output of the lighting
we will recommend a direct low energy or LED replacement.
These new low energy lamps can be installed directly into the
existing light fittings, thereby reducing the need for new light
fittings to be installed, keeping material costs down to a minimum
whilst offering savings of between 60-70% on annual electricity
bills.
In addition to the annual savings on electricity bills due to the
long life of the low energy and LED lamps, annual maintenance costs
will also be greatly reduced.
Automated Lighting Controls
J Brand can reduce the cost of lighting by the replacement of
traditional switches, with automated controls. We can offer a full
range of PIR motion sensors, time lag switches and dusk till dawn
sensors to remove the cost of wasted power in a range of areas. In
WCs, basement corridors, even external rear fire escape emergency
lighting and perimeter security lighting.
Waste Handling
J Brand is fully compliant with the WEEE Regulations
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations). We are
fully certified by the Environment Agency as Waste Carriers and
Brokers. We will remove redundant equipment and either recycle
or arrange disposable as appropriate.
