Mitsubishi Electric is using the Ecobuild Show (1-3 March
2011, ExCel, London) to highlight the energy saving
potential of advanced heating, cooling, ventilation and
power generating equipment, whether for new build or
retro-fit.
“We all know the importance of reducing energy consumption
and the impact this can have on cutting fuel bills and there
is a real potential to tackle the problem of existing
buildings using advanced energy saving equipment,”
explains Donald Daw, Mitsubishi Electric’s Commercial
Director.
The company’s stand (S2030) will show off the latest
developments in domestic and commercial heating, with the
Ecodan® range of products that can help achieve renewable
energy targets, cut fuel bills and provide reliable,
renewable heating for almost any building. Ecodan provides
low carbon heating and hot water, with domestic models
available in 5kW; 8.5kW and 14kW units and the commercial
range starting from 25kW.
Also on the stand will be advanced Photovoltaic (PV) Arrays
which can not only lower overall power consumption but can
also help generate an income through the Government’s Feed
In Tariff (FIT) by selling excess energy back to the grid.
Mitsubishi Electric is unique in the world of PV because it
manufacturers all of the individual components – the
cells, the panels and the inverters – and is also the
first manufacturer in the UK to develop a complete PV Pack,
designed specifically for residential properties with
pitched roofs.
As our homes become more energy efficient and air tight,
ensuring appropriate ventilation is increasingly important
and the company will be showcasing its DC Lossnay heat
recovery ventilation system, which addresses the need to
provide energy efficient ventilation to well-insulated
modern homes.
One of the major advantages of the Lossnay system is that in
summer, when houses have heated up during the day, a special
bypass mode can be used to bring in cool fresh air at night,
eliminating the need for mechanical cooling.
Mitsubishi Electric has taken a stance against any major
growth of air conditioning for the UK’s homes because it
is unnecessary and unsustainable.
In the commercial sector though, the company is a strident
advocate of the increased use of advanced air conditioning
to provide energy efficient buildings with a comfortable
internal environment. On the stand will be the new City
Multi YJM-A outdoor unit which offers some of the highest
levels of efficient simultaneous heating and cooling
available.
“Legislation is increasingly driving the way we use energy
in our buildings and rising fuel prices mean that there has
never been a better time to find ways of improving things,”
explains Daw. “With this comprehensive range, we are
providing energy efficient equipment that can help achieve
this.”
