In the workplace, air conditioning is no longer considered
a luxury. Instead employers can see the real benefits of maintaining
a comfortable working environment through increased production.
Research has shown that as the temperature rises in the workplace,
so staff performance falls, possibly by as much as 40%.
Whether your project is a new-build, a refurbishment or an
upgrade, our first step is always the same - to gain a thorough
understanding of your requirements. We work with you to develop
a system to meet your criteria whether you are a major blue
chip client or a small to medium sized business.
A properly designed and installed system that includes spare
capacity as well as 24 hour maintenance backup is essential
to minimise the chances of future problems. If your air conditioning
fails, not only will your equipment suffer serious consequences,
but your business may also.
The Climate Change Levy and Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme
To concur with the Kyoto Protocol, in 2001 the Government
introduced an energy tax (Climate Change Levy - CCL) and an
energy-efficiency incentives scheme (Enhanced Capital Allowance
- ECA), with the overall goal being to achieve a reduction
in total greenhouse gas emissions. Under the ECA scheme, expenditure
on technologies and products on the Energy Technology List
can qualify for 100% first year tax allowances.
This Means that all businesses can claim Enhanced Capital
Allowances on their qualifying expenditure regardless of size,
industrial or commercial sector or location. |
