Walsted prints business and consumer magazines and catalogues. The printing process generates a lot of wasted heat whilst the office areas of the building are heated by traditional gas-fired boilers.

Key challenges:

• Reduce energy consumption and support the facility’s move to become environmentally friendly
• Manage resources and expectations whilst operating in a live factory environment.

Solutions:

• Used specialist knowledge to design a control system that allows the efficient harvesting of ~90% of the waste energy
• Installed a system that reuses the recycled energy to heat offices and workshops
• Plan for the ultimate removal of the gas fired boilers in the future to drastically reduce costs and the carbon footprint.
