As a result, those finding innovative and effective ways to minimise their environmental impact will not only minimise the likelihood of any reputation damage but may indeed be able to use these actions to positively differentiate their service from that of their competitors.
Whist controlling energy consumption has an obvious commercial and environmental benefit there is also a reputational opportunity. The fact that around 38.6 million tonnes of CO2

Our desire for data coupled with the sector’s drive to control maintenance and energy costs (whilst improving environmental performance) seems certain to ensure that business critical environments will continue to be a high growth market. And the fact that we have seen energy consumption reduced by between 5% and 15% in environments where Uptim(e) has been installed gives me confidence that the development smarter software and technology is going to play an increasing key role in realising this growth in the coming years.
