Congratulations to Our Rising Star! Join us in saying a big well done Ibrahim Q. who has scooped the Rising Star award at this year’s BESA Group Awards 🏆🏆🏆 The awards attract some of the most talented youngsters in the country, so we’re thrilled Ibrahim’s contribution to the industry has been recognised. Ibrahim joined us as part of our Net Zero Apprenticeship programme and has since worked on over 20 projects across various technologies. He graduated from his level 3 apprenticeship and has now moved on to a Higher Education degree and, after scooping the CIBSE Ken Dale bursary to study AI and Machine Learning he travelled 23,000km for his research. It’s been quite a journey!

In honour of this year's Mental Health in the Workplace theme, our team took a break from their desks and put a focus on their well-being. Staff from across our various office locations, took refreshing walks together, allowing them to unwind, clear their minds and enjoy the fresh air.🌳👣 We also hosted a charity coffee morning, featuring some amazing treats, with all proceeds going to Mind charity. It was the perfect opportunity to relax, connect with others, and raise awareness for an important cause. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and donated! Let’s keep prioritising our mental health and supporting each other every day. #mentalhealthmatters #community #teamspirit

Driving sustainability in the healthcare sector 🚑💚 We’ve partnered with Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust to deliver a decarbonisation solution at Sandwell General Hospital, which will cut carbon emissions by over 2,000 tonnes a year. With the installation of a 1MW air and water source heat pump system, upgrade of 1,000+ lights to LEDs, and improvements to building fabric, we’re helping reduce the hospital’s reliance on fossil fuels, boosting energy efficiency, and enhancing the environment for patients, staff and visitors. Discover more about this exciting project which is accelerating the Trust’s journey to net zero: https://lnkd.in/eG8sFtxg #netzero #decarbonisation #energyefficiency #sustainability #healthcare #NHS

Work is in full swing at Solenis as we drive down carbon consumption at their Bradford site by upgrading the energy centre, and futureproofing their production capabilities 🏗️   We’ve recently taken delivery of two new high-efficiency steam boilers which will play a key role in meeting the site’s peak steam demand. These boilers are not only vital for Solenis’ current operations but will minimise their environmental footprint too.   Find out more about the 17-year partnership here: https://lnkd.in/drPBeWK4 #sustainability #industrial #energyefficiency

Exciting times... The first shipment of district heating pipework for the Solihull Low Carbon Energy Network has arrived! This is not just a delivery; it’s a pivotal moment in our partnership with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council to create a greener, more sustainable future for their town. This scheme will significantly reduce building energy emissions and pave the way for additional building connections in the town centre. The arrival of the pipework marks the beginning of a journey that will end in customers receiving more affordable, low carbon heat. This innovative network will connect a variety of buildings, from council buildings to education campuses, and was specifically developed to reduce carbon emissions while lowering energy costs. In addition to the network, the project will see the creation of an energy centre, built on land next to Tudor Grange Leisure Centre and will house a range of renewable and low carbon energy solutions including Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP). But this is just the start! The network has ambitious plans to expand, connect even more of the Solihull community in the future and spread the low-carbon benefits, helping Solihull in its drive towards Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2041. #netzero #heatnetworks #districtheating

Cheers to a more sustainable future for the Scotch Whisky Industry! 🌿⚡🥃 Exciting news from Simpsons Malt: The game-changing 12MW electric boiler has just arrived at their Berwick-upon-Tweed site after completing the 360-mile trip from Norway! Why is it such an exciting moment? • This boiler is set to help slash carbon emissions by a whopping 80% at the UK's largest malting site • It will work alongside three 6MW biomass boilers, reducing emissions by 25,000 tonnes annually • The site produces 260,000 tonnes of malt per year, with 90% going to distilleries This isn't just about Simpsons Malt… It’s a big step forwards for their customers in the Scotch whisky industry. By decarbonising their operations, they're helping their customers achieve their net-zero goals too. One of the things which makes this project truly special is that the boiler will use excess renewable electricity from North Sea wind farms, making the energy-intensive malting process greener than ever before. Here’s to our partners Simpsons Malt Limited and AMP Clean Energy on reaching an exciting milestone! 🥃 https://lnkd.in/er9x2gjc #netzero #foodanddrink #netzero #windpower #electricificationofheat

📸 Behind-the-scenes action from yesterday's visit to Leeds PIPES! Take a look at some snap shots from our filming day for Sky TV’s “A Green Approach”. A day spent collaborating with Leeds City Council & Triple Point Heat Networks Investment Management We were lucky enough to have a private tour of the Leeds Museums & Galleries, one of the 28 key buildings connected to Leeds PIPES. A special shout out & thank you to Cllr Mohammed Rafique, Polly Cook, Mike Cooke & Ken Hunnisett for sitting infront of the camera 🎥 Keep your eyes peeled for the end result 👀 #heatnetworks #Leedspipes #netzero

Did you know that the University of St Andrews is Scotland's sunniest university?☀️ We’re hoping we can help them turn those rays into a renewable revolution by assessing their buildings for rooftop solar and, if viable, the project could lead to some impressive benefits: 🏫 65 buildings under assessment for rooftop solar 🌱 Potential to save 200 tonnes of CO2 each year ⚡ Boosting energy independence 🎯 Accelerating towards their target of net zero by 2035 It’s fantastic to see one of the oldest universities in the world embracing the latest energy technologies to drive down their carbon emissions. https://lnkd.in/ee_-XZa9 #sustainability #solar #netzero #universities

🌟Connecting Women in District Heating 2024🌟 The annual Connecting Women in District Heating conference, hosted by the District Heating Divas, is a pivotal platform for empowering women, under-represented groups, and allies within the district heating sector - both across the UK and globally. As the main sponsor of the event, it was great to give insight into a couple of our projects, and see our empowered women out in force... 🎤 Embrace your cheetah! Helen Ord set the stage with an inspiring message: trust your instincts and unleash your inner strength. 🚀 Finding your path: Personal stories from Mansi Vaish, MEng and Emma Holden highlighted the diverse and non-linear career journeys within the heat networks sector. The session was a testament to resilience and the endless possibilities for women in our industry. 🏗️ Showcasing our projects: As the conference was held in Glasgow, we invited delegates for a tour of the nearby Queens Quay, a large-scale water source heat pump which takes heat from the River Clyde to heat local homes and businesses. We also gave a 360 insight into the exemplar Leeds PIPES heat network in a one-off webinar. Together, we are shaping the future of district heating! #districtheating #empowerment #careergrowth #inclusionanddiversity #sustainability #heatnetworks #womeninengineering #CWDH2024
