Keeping up with the times is often the
difference between success and failure for many companies and this is
particularly true within the engineering industry. Today, there is particular emphasis
on saving the environment, saving space
and saving money. Happily for all, these can go hand-in-hand. As the
mechanical and electrical engineering building services company, BSI Nordale Limited, explains, it is important to invest in the future to achieve all three:
“We would say it is imperative that organisations employ the right people and
spend time assessing how equipment can be more efficient”.
These three aims can be achieved by staying
abreast of current challenges facing companies and creating more efficient,
less environmentally damaging systems.
Saving space
BSI Nordale illustrates this theme of space
saving by using their specification of new, efficient lifts as an example. Their
clients are often taken aback by the significantly smaller motors that replace
out-of-date and dilapidated twenty-year-old machines. But they soon realise
that the new smaller device is much more capable of efficiently and quickly
delivering passengers between floors.
As real estate prices have been rising at
an unprecedented rate in recent times, companies are anxious to make full use
of available floor space in order to maximise
profits. Smaller, more efficient mechanical and electrical building
systems, like those offered by BSI Nordale, makes this increasingly
possible.
Saving the environment
The second benefit of remaining at the
cutting edge of development encompasses the fact that more efficient technology uses less energy, meaning less spending
on overheads which can convert to greater profits. This is great news not only
for the company, but also for the environment.
Saving money
New technology can help companies further save money through the
production of their own energy from in-house renewable sources. On a wider
scale, these environmentally-friendly
resources will ensure the availability of energy in the future, as
traditional non-renewable reserves become less mainstream and ever more depleted.
Aware of the responsibility the engineering
sector has for promoting a sustainable future, BSI Nordale reminds us that the
construction and operation of buildings is responsible for the majority of the
energy consumed in the Western world, therefore linking their industry directly to global environmental impact.
Social responsibility
In addition, BSI Nordale explains a less
tangible, but equally important benefit to companies who always keep their
finger on the pulse. As increasingly conscientious clients look for more socially-responsible engineering service
providers, it is essential that companies in this country do not trail
behind the rest of the world, inciting customers to look elsewhere and take
their business abroad.
BSI Nordale tells us that, while they have
been truly inspired to see some exciting developments in tackling crucial challenges
such as the environment in recent years, they are still striving for further development. After all, the very goal of
the engineering industry is to continuously find and implement new and
innovative solutions. Solutions that will ultimately help maximise financial
and social profits for their clients.
