CASE STUDIES Carrier powers historic St


Andrews with green solution Carrier Rental Systems supported Morrison Construction with a low-emission, low-noise temporary power package at the world-renowned Old Course at St Andrews Links.


M


orrison Construction was tasked with renewing a water pipe from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club building to beneath the


fi rst tee and tenth green. Site installation, excavation and repairs had to conclude before the start of the golfi ng season 2025, requiring a dependable, low-impact power source that would minimise noise and safeguard the sensitive landscape. Carrier Rentals Systems provided an LPG


generator paired with an X-45 battery storage unit to cut emissions and reduce runtime. An EV charger was included to support the site’s transition to sustainable energy use, and a Panorama Monitoring System delivered real-time data on CO₂ savings, fuel and power consumption, enabling fi ne-tuning of energy usage. Key performance and sustainability attributes included:


■ LPG generator as a cleaner-burning alternative to diesel, with associated EV charging capability.


■ CO₂ reductions of 33% versus coal and 12% versus oil, plus almost no black carbon emissions (<0.1 mg/MJ).


■ X-45 battery storage that optimised fuel consump- tion on the project by 63%, cutting generator runtime and fuel dependency by storing surplus power and discharging on demand.


■ Operating sound levels of 50–60 dB were lower than the ~97 dB typical of standard diesel units commonly used on projects of similar scale.


■ Gas-based fuel eliminates the risk of onsite spills or contamination, helping preserve the course’s pristine condition.


The solution was installed and completed on time and ahead of the start of the 2025 golf


season. By reducing CO₂ emissions compared with diesel alternatives, the project achieved a weekly carbon avoidance of 2.6 tonnes while maintaining the operational resilience required for critical underground works. Reduced runtime, lower noise output and smart battery integration delivered a quieter, less intrusive presence on one of golf’s most iconic landscapes. https://www.carrier.com/rental/en/uk


Carrier Solutions refi ts Toshiba


climate control at Bannatyne Spa Carrier Solutions UK supplied a Toshiba climate control solution for Bannatyne Health Club & Spa in Wellingborough, delivering a complete HVAC refurbishment.


T


he eight-week project involved decommissioning and removing ageing R407c split systems that had reached the end of their useful lives. These systems were proving costly for Bannatyne Group to maintain, making a modern replacement essential to enhance performance and reduce operating expenses. Ventec Services, the appointed installation


contractor, selected Toshiba products for their high effi ciency, reliability and tailored climate control capabilities. Equipment was procured through one of Carrier’s preferred distributors, Cool Designs Ltd, ensuring a smooth and reliable supply chain throughout the project.


The installed solution included Toshiba Variable


Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, featuring SMMSu Heat Pump 2-pipe and SHRMe Heat Recovery 3-pipe models, as well as Toshiba Digital Inverter R32

single, twin and triple split units. The project also replaced outdated DX cooling coils and condensing units within the club’s air handling units. Key features of the new installation include inverter-driven compressors, which adjust heating and cooling output in response to real-time demand, thereby reducing power consumption during periods of low usage. A Toshiba Black Pear Central Controller was also installed, allowing the club’s


General Manager to control diff erent temperature settings across the gym, studios, spa areas and offi ces from within the main offi ce. Careful planning ensured the project was completed outside opening hours, thereby minimising disruption to daily operations. “Working with Ventec and Carrier Solutions UK


ensured a hassle-free installation,” said Stuart Maclachlan, Regional Manager at Bannatyne Group. “The Toshiba system has improved comfort, and both members and staff have noticed the diff erence.” Richard Goose, Director of Ventec Services, added:


“The collaboration between Ventec, Bannatyne and Carrier Solutions UK made this project a great success and we’re proud to have delivered a solution that exceeds client expectations.” www.toshiba-aircon.co.uk
