Space Airconditioning plc, the Guildford based Daikin Distributor,
holds registration under the environmental standard ISO14001:2004,
in the unique category of “Distributors of air conditioning
equipment and manufacture of ancillary components”.
Despite the challenging business conditions of the past two years,
Space Air has remained committed to taking all reasonable steps to
reduce the environmental impact of its commercial activities. The
ISO 14001 Standard forms an important part of Space Air’s objectives
and so the Directors were delighted when the annual external audit
approved certificate renewal with a highly complimentary report on
the management of the system and environmental targets achieved to
date, the auditor concluding with "This is one of the best
environmental systems I have audited".
Perhaps the most impressive achievement was energy efficiency
improvements recorded for the Daikin VRVQ air conditioning system
installed earlier this year to replace the existing older VRV
system.
Detailed metered records indicating minutes run and kW/hrs consumed
by the new VRVQ system were compared with corresponding periods in
previous years for the original system and showed a remarkable
average 28.6% reduction in monthly kW/hr consumption!
A Space Air spokesman commented, “In addition to various other
measures we have undertaken to reduce our environmental impact, the
external auditor was particularly impressed by the very significant
energy savings achieved by the VRVQ system. Although we need to look
at a full year of recordings to get a fair comparison, the results
so far are extremely encouraging, not only in terms of meeting our
own objectives but also in reinforcing the efficiency benefits of
VRVQ for the many customers considering replacing existing R22 or
R407C VRV systems.
VRVQ has specifically been designed to enable older VRV systems to
be replaced without the need to renew the existing pipework and in
some cases, retain the existing fan coil units. VRVQ can therefore
be installed relatively quickly, at considerably reduced cost and
site disruption. The additional benefit is substantially lower
running costs. We are already reaping the rewards and our customers
can do the same.”
