“With a carbon footprint equivalent to 21 million tonnes of CO2, and shrinking budgets, few organisations face an environmental challenge like the NHS.
“This challenge is set against the backdrop of maintaining services, meaning it is important that Trusts adopt tried and tested measures to tackle the dual challenges of cutting cost and carbon.” So says Wayne Muncaster, director of sales at powerPerfector, who, in a case study-based presentation,’Putting Trust in VPO’, will explain how the company’s Voltage Power Optimisation (VPO) technology ‘is now an established, reliable, and widely used energy-saving technology’. He said: “Its guarantee of performance ensures that Trusts can have confidence in their investment decisions. VPO meets both the carbon and costsaving objectives in one installation. “Healthcare sites in the UK provide vital frontline services, as well as meeting logistical, research, and administrative needs. This variety results in a wide range of electrical loads, and the question of whether VPO will work with specialist, sensitive equipment. With nearly 90 units installed on NHS sites, powerPerfector can say with confidence that its VPO units work seamlessly with specialist equipment. Sensitive electronic equipment, such as operating systems for MRI and CT scanners, can also be protected by the power quality improvements afforded.”
