Energy efficiency in manufacturing
Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions due to regulations, standards and the demands of consumers.
Advances in technology can lower energy consumption, while the availability of alternative fuels and volatile oil prices, are changing the way factories operate, potentially lowering the costs of product transportation.
Our advisory and engineering specialists focus on solutions that not only reduce energy consumption, but costs too, at both site and portfolio level. With digital monitoring tools, we can advise on energy resilience strategies from increasing site resilience to optimising equipment performance or implementing sustainable practices throughout the production cycle. Our engineering solutions are designed to align with your business goals while ensuring a reduction of energy use and carbon emissions.
Arup understands the global imperative to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and are dedicated to helping manufacturing facilities make the transition to cleaner, renewable alternatives. Our teams use a future-facing approach to renewable energy transition that takes into account both new renewable energy options and changes to legislation and standards. Our assessments identify opportunities for incorporating renewable energy into your manufacturing processes, including solar, wind, or biomass, which demonstrates a commitment to both environmental responsibility and long-term economic viability.
The National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC), located inside the Prof. Lord Bhattacharyya Building at the University of Warwick, is the largest centre of its kind.
Arup was appointed to provide structural, mechanical, electrical and public health (SMEP) services, forming part of this unique construction’s design team. The centre has been awarded the highest BREEAM “Excellent” rating, recognising its environmental, social and economic sustainability performance and providing a space for organisations to explore and develop technologies that will reduce CO² emissions and fossil fuel dependency.
