ABLOY LAUNCHES ENERGY EFFICIENCY WHITE PAPER
ecurity expert Abloy UK has launched an in depth white paper, entitled ‘Effective and Energy Efficient Access Control in Commercial Buildings’. Since the launch of the government’s
S
Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), companies are now finding that greater emphasis is being placed upon how much energy is wasted in commercial buildings. Therefore Abloy UK has prepared a white paper that explores the differences between the various locking solutions available, and makes recommendations on the best solutions for energy efficient access control.
Raising awareness of the benefits of electric locks is a key message for Abloy UK as it looks to provide solutions that can help businesses and specifiers not only secure property, but also conform to any green agenda in a compliant way. Jon Burke, Marketing Manager for Abloy UK, said: “The introduction of the ESOS
scheme means specifiers and building owners are now assessing the areas in which their premises can be more energy efficient, for example in lifts, heating, ventilation, lighting, and access control. “This means the assessment of access control systems is crucial, and solutions are being created for easy access and egress that are more energy efficient than some of the provisions currently in place. “Our white paper discusses some of the solutions available in order to recommend the best systems to architects and specifiers, giving them all the information they need in one location.” To view the white paper, go to: http://

Extreme Weather Protection from Arco this winter L
atest reports from the weather forecasters warn that this winter could be one of coldest in recent history, with Britain expecting months of freezing winds and heavy snow. Businesses that aren’t prepared for winter weather not only run the risk of expensive business disruption caused by site closures and delays but also potential risks for their staff who may be working in conditions which could lead to serious injuries or ill health. In 2013/14 slips and trips were the most common cause of major injuries to employees with over 21,500 in total reported. Salt is essential for clearing paths and minimising slips, trips and falls during the more icy months. Arco, the UK’s leading safety supplier, offers a range of carefully selected products to help manage potential slip hazards including its new blue de-icing salt that has been screened to produce the most effective spread pattern, increasing pedestrian safety and preventing waste. It is also clean to use, leaving no dirty residue to be trodden into buildings or vehicles and after the winter season there is no residue to sweep away or drains to be cleared. Working in conjunction with Peacock Salt,
Arco’s new Salt Calculator App, is set to help businesses make cost-effective decisions in preparing for extreme conditions. The
Salt Calculator App allows customers to calculate the amount of salt required for any particular site, reducing waste and ensuring a safe working environment. The App will also alert customers when conditions are changing, sending a warning based on pre-programmed parameters. Arco also offers a full range of products to help tackle the harsh winter conditions, including salt spreading equipment, heaters and torches, entrance matting, flooding prevention, snow plough for fork lift trucks, snow shovels, scoops and car accessories. Liz Johnsen, Product and Procurement
Manager at Arco said, “Arco is committed to keep workplaces operating safely throughout the winter and part of this is ensuring that both businesses and employees are stocked up on essential workplace safety items and salt. Arco’s salt spreading and snow clearing products, with the addition of the new Salt Calculator App will ensure that business sites are protected and prepared this winter.” Arco has created Expert Advice sheets on Extreme Weather, Effective Salting and Flooding. Which offer expert guidance on preparing for extreme weather, practical guidance on dealing with snow, ice and flooding as well as product selection.
