  1. This is so obviously a win for everybody involved that I can’t help but wonder why this concept isn’t commonplace everywhere. Is it really only interim that is stopping this concept being endlessly replicated ?

    1. It definitely is a win for everybody. Hopefully these examples will spur others to do likewise. There are still too many thinking in terms of business as usual. Someone has to help drive these new ideas forward. It is so important to know that such efforts are underway.

      1. For “interim” , read “inertia” in my earlier comment.Apologies. Blame predictive text!

  2. Interesting article. Nevertheless, it is surprising to read “energy-hungry commercial refrigeration systems, which make up about 12% of the UK’s carbon emissions.” Might this be 12% of electricity consumption?
