Energy Saving Controls

According to the Carbon Trust:

“It is estimated that 90% of all building control systems are inadequate, costing industry and commerce over £500 million a year in additional energy costs”

“In premises with well-controlled systems, heating fuel consumption is typically 15-35% lower.”



The potentially significant reduction of a building’s run cost and environmental impact achieved by installing and using controls makes them an integral part of an efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system design. Furthermore, the potential saving often leads to a short investment payback period.

As part of the Green Gateway Initiative, Mitsubishi Electric has set up this section of its web site to provide information on the incorporation of control systems into a building’s HVAC design. It offers advice on which control systems are best suited to specific building types and uses, outlines strategies to get the most out of controls and provides detailed information on all of Mitsubishi Electric’s control products (such as user guides and installation manuals).
