Cutting costs...

In the current commercial environment, we understand that retailers are under pressure to reduce both store development costs and also energy costs.

Affordable, energy efficient equipment is vital to minimise lifetime costs and ensure suitable payback periods on any capital investment.

Competitive prices are, of course, crucial to any retail operation and Daikin UK ensures that our prices – and, more importantly, the lifetime costs of our

Overcoming the R22 ban Refurbishment of air conditioning systems is a greater priority since the ban in January 2010 on the use of new R22 refrigerant. By 2015, all recycled sources of R22 will be banned, so older R22 systems are operating on borrowed time.

Further energy savings can be made using the DNSS EcoSave service which uses remote weather forecast information (local to the specific site) combined with data collected from the air conditioners, taking into account occupancy levels and details of the installation. Judgements are then made using all this information and, if energy saving measures are possible, they will be made remotely.
