Enigin Products For China's "Green" Builds
Environmentally friendly buildings are becoming the trend in China, who is responsible for the world's highest level of greenhouse gas emissions and who also has the world's largest market by floor space.
China's development is growing so rapidly, and "all levels of government, designers, and even the general public are becoming more aware of environmental issues and how bad the consequences could be due to ignorance of sustainable design," said William Wong, associate director of the Hong Kong office of Arup, a global firm of independent designers, engineers and consultants.
Implementing energy saving systems in buildings is allowing Chinese businesses to save tremendous amounts of money, previously wasted on excessively high energy bills, due to excess consumption. Through companies like Enigin PLC, Chinese business owners, like business owners all over the world, can actively contribute in reducing the impact of their activity on the environment while saving money simultaneously.
Enigin PLC's distributors can provide the required solutions in energy efficiency needs for all types of businesses worldwide, and have the Eniscope to help business owners become aware of exactly how much energy they are using to run their business.
Enigin PLC's Eniscope, which is simple to install, is a smart metering instrument which is able to measure energy usage and identify where energy is being wasted. It then displays the collected data in full colored salient graphs, in an easy-to-read format, in real-time from any PC, laptop or iPhone in the world, at any time of the day or night. With the Eniscope, businesses have a virtual energy manager working for the them 24/7.
Products such as Enigin PLC's Eniscope provide more freedom for the consumer, who is given the opportunity to finally see what was previously invisible. Enigin distributors can then provide the adequate solutions with Enigin energy saving systems, to ensure that the business only sources the amount of energy it actually needs to function, thereby reducing energy costs and carbon emissions.
According to the China Greentech Report 2009, published by a business consortium, building operations account for approximately 1/6 of China's total carbon emissions.
China is now following the US lead - Chinese design professionals are increasingly adopting US standards, such as certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), an internationally recognized rating system designed by the U.S. Green Building Council.
China already has a number of LEED-certified buildings and more than 100 are under construction seeking approval, yet none have received the organization's prestigious platinum award.
As an example, Parkview Green, the 1st building in Beijing to make use of a "micro climate" to minimize energy consumption, is aiming for a LEED Platinum certification.
Also, the Linked Hybrid, Beijing's recently completed 8-tower structure by Steven Holl Architects, was designed to qualify for a LEED Gold certification.
"I think we design for the future; we cannot design for the past," Li Hu, Steven Holl Architects partner and director of projects in China, told China Daily. "A good building always provides opportunities for the future."
Enigin partners can offer those opportunities by giving businesses the chance to increase profitability by saving money on energy bills, with the use of their energy efficient products. Enigin distributors are operational worldwide and continuously meet the highest standard of demands, with irreproachable customer service.
A report by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Boston Consulting Group estimated that "moderate" energy conservation, affecting 5% of China's existing buildings and 60% of new buildings, would have an environmental impact equivalent to halting global air traffic for 4 months.
In light of such energy saving initiatives, taken by China but also by most other countries of the world, Enigin distributors are presented with a great business opportunity. The time is perfect for entrepreneurs who are thinking about joining the energy efficiency industry through Enigin.
