Energy Efficiency W
elcome to the November issue of Electrical Wholesaler!
Energy management has been hot on the
agenda of late, with consumers and businesses alike increasingly prioritising sustainability. In recent months, the Government launched both the Green Homes Grant and the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, meaning that R&D into electronics that can help improve energy efficiency in homes and buildings will be more important than ever. On pages 32-4 we take a look at the latest initiatives in energy management and the companies and products innovating to support them. On a similar note, our November cover story
comes from Timeguard’s Andy Douglas, who explains the importance of presence and motion detectors for lighting and energy-saving projects. Our feature on Electric Heating, meanwhile, sees Electrorad’s Jeni French explains the importance of efficient home heating systems if the UK is to reach zero carbon emissions by 2050.
