LED Lighting is a leading load based energy efficient product with a focus on reducing consumption, carbon emissions and cost.

  • Before
  • After

In conjunction with cost savings, LED lighting provides a visual representation of change by either retrofitting into existing fittings to allow for a seamless exchange alternatively we can design bespoke lighting programs to suit.

Let DB Group survey your site, Free of Charge,  to understand  the cost saving opportunities by converting to LED lighting.

We have a range of funding and tax incentives available to share with our clients.

“DB Enviro was selected to supply, install and project manage an LED upgrade, including rewiring to modernise the teaching environment for staff and students to enjoy, retaining the feel a Grade A building brings.  The lighting was installed on time with installation teams being
 punctual and informative.  The LED lighting will provide the school with a 74% reduction in lighting costs as well as reducing heat levels within our classrooms.  We would have no hesitation to recommend DB Enviro to our peers, partners and the wider community."

Variable Speed Drives

Reduce Energy

Most large organisation will have chillers, Air Handling Units and boilers to operate the site.  Most of these items will have a motor or pump to drive the process and take the heating or cooling throughout the building.

A variable Speed Drive’s (VSD) job is to connect to the pump or motor and drive the component efficiently and operationally.  A VSD is intelligent and can understand patterns in operation and will allow for the process to be completed as efficiently as possible.

Without a VSD the plant equipment will be running at 100%.  Running items at 100% can lead to breakdown and shortening the life of equipment.

Placing a VSD onto a 3kw AHU Motor and reducing the speed by 20% will bring a 48.8% reduction in energy consumption.  A simple calculation on the above scenario would be on a 12p per kwh electricity rate, running for 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, 37 weeks a year will return a financial saving of £265.

BeMS Optimisation

EDUCATE. COMMUNICATE. INNOVATE

What are the benefits of a BeMS platform?

Optimising your existing controls can be as good as replacing for new.  

Systems such as BeMS (Building Energy Management Systems) can be changed over the years to reduce complains through increasing temperature set points or increasing the number of hours the hot water is on for however this can truly impact the cost of energy across your estate.

 

Seasonal changes can be made during winter for example however not changed through spring into summer and this can affect the energy used on site.

By optimising the BeMS our team of experts can find items / opportunities to save energy however maintain the operational excellence of your plant equipment and provide a comfortable experience for your staff and visitors.

Optimisation is not just for BeMS and we can optimise your boilers and ventilation process’s.

Water Conversation

Climate change matters... 

Climate Change  has shown us in recent years that temperatures are on the rise resulting in a higher demand in water consumption.

DB Environmental have recognised the need to implement water conservation projects and have delivered projects saving thousands of pounds by focusing on domestic water rather than process water.

Our most successful water conservation projects have been with retrofitting urinals from a wet to a dry system.  In addition to this we have further increased our projects to include non-concusive taps and in recent times reduced water toilets.

With projects returning an investment in under 1 year, water conservation truly is a innovation worth considering.

How can you add value to your business?

DB Environmental provide our clients with the opportunity to add value to their estate by installing a wireless  hardware and software platform designed to manage  key drivers and satisfy government legislation, comply with your audit process, report and analyse information. 

The platform is cloud based and delivers data in real-time to allow for fast reactions to data that may fall outwith internal set parameters.

Reporting on items such as legionella, HACCP food hygiene and ISO 50001, the platform can help with the most complex of compliance and in addition we can monitor your energy peaks and troughs to identify further ways to save energy.

DB Environmental would welcome the opportunity to highlight some of the key benefits of the platform.
