| AE Smith has launched an exciting new energy services business that’s aimed at addressing the growing concern about the environmental impact of energy consumed in commercial and industrial facilities. Emerald Sustainable Performance (EmeraldESP) is the next step in the 111 year evolution of AE Smith. Our engineering skill, practical know-how and position as an established leader in the Australian and New Zealand air conditioning and mechanical services industry ensures we are ideally placed to partner those wanting to improve sustainable practice in a meaningful way. EmeraldESP’s creation is in response to the growing concern about improving the environmental performance of buildings along with the foreseen demand to ensure buildings are as efficient as possible and “energy smart”, especially given the significant increases in the cost of energy and the pending legislation around carbon emissions with the introduction of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS). Led by General Manager Doug Binns, AE Smith customers can now turn to EmeraldESP to find ways to turn their commitment to being efficient with energy and water management of their property assets into reality. With a variety of tools, EmeraldESP will work with building owners to identify and implement sustainable practices to improve a building’s overall energy efficiencies. “We recognise there is a strong desire within many organisations to take positive actions to reduce their environmental impact, especially around energy consumption and carbon emissions. There is also a lot of confusion about how to achieve the desired results in a commercially viable way, especially given the current economic and business climate,” comments Doug Binns. “We see an opportunity to show building owners, property professionals and facility managers how to unlock the sustainable potential of buildings and generate positive commercial outcomes,” he adds. EmeraldESP will draw on the combined expertise of Doug Binns, Michael Kiraly (previously General Manager of Facility 1st and now EmeraldESP Construction Manager), and David Odd (Energy Engineer). Together, they’ve already developed a strong suite of tools and frameworks that can be applied to a variety of buildings with methods for decreasing energy and water consumption as well as improving efficiencies to reduce environmental impact – and cut costs. “We’re keen to highlight to customers how Emerald Sustainable Performance can help reduce costs and deliver other business benefits – important in the current business environment.” For more information contact Doug Binns on +61 (0)488 698 160 or be sure to meet Doug in person at the AE Smith Business Centre & Internet Café during Green Cities 09. |
