The Energy Event came up on my radar the other day. The show focuses on energy procurement, management and efficiency. What caught my eye were a number of companies who act as energy consultants and work with clients to reduce their energy consumption. This opened up a new view on building management and gave more of an insight into the workings of a facilities manager. Uninterruptible power supplies are a component within such energy systems and innovations in this particular area are driven by a need to conserve energy and not add to existing cooling systems. We are also working with the Carbon Trust to help the industry take a lead in this area - one whose importance will continue to grow in an ever more energy conscious world.
