BG Controls expansion
Building controls specialist BG Controls has announced it has expanded its services with e-fficient Energy Systems.
e-fficient Energy specialises in manufacturing intelligent voltage optimisation and regulation systems, which are designed to reduce and regulate inefficient voltage supply from the national grid.
The benefits of such a system include cost savings and a reduction in carbon footprint of up to 25%. In addition to this, intelligent voltage optimisation and regulation helps to provide a stable power supply, which increases the life span of electrical equipment.
The company manufactures two key solutions, which are the e-VO Thyristor controlled transformer rectifier and the SeR-VO autotransformer. It chooses the technology which best suits the application and the customer's individual needs.
"e-fficient Energy Systems will work in synergy with BG Controls and will strengthen our existing business portfolio," comments Duncan Biggins, BG's managing director. "Intelligent voltage optimisation and regulation is an effective way of reducing electrical consumption and Carbon emissions. This enhances our offering to our customers and complements our approach to energy saving."
"It's great to be part of an award-winning company like BG Controls," comments Craig Needham, e-fficient Energy Systems' managing director. "BG Controls has an excellent reputation in the building controls industry and together we can offer a fully integrated solution focussed on improving energy efficiency."
