Modular building specialist, Wernick\u2019s Greenspace\u00ae range<\/a>\u00a0includes the popular \u2013\u00a0and now award-winning<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Fusion Pulse\u00ae welfare units<\/h2>\n

Wernick is dedicated to helping their customers lower their carbon emissions. Considerate Constructors recognised this dedication when it awarded Wernick Hire the\u00a0\u2018Environmental Best Practice\u2019 prize<\/a>\u00a0at this year\u2019s\u00a0\u2018Ultra Site\u2019 event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fusion Pulse\u00ae range of products<\/a>\u00a0caught the judges\u2019 attention \u2013 they are economical to run and better for the planet than their diesel-only alternatives.<\/p>\n

Developed with Wernick Hire\u2019s comprehensive knowledge of the construction industry and specialist manufacturer\u00a0Genquip Groundhog\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0technical expertise, the units substantially reduce the environmental impact of site welfare services.<\/p>\n

By utilising a modern solar-powered battery charging facility, the Fusion Pulse\u00ae units can reduce your site\u2019s carbon footprint by up to 80% \u2013 without compromising on appearance or comfort.<\/p>\n

Driving down emissions<\/h3>\n

The UK construction industry generates a considerable amount of CO2 during the construction of built assets \u2013 around 10% of the total figure\u00a0according to the UK Green Building Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Various strategies can improve the level of CO2 that is produced \u2013 one of which is reducing construction\u2019s reliance on diesel generators.<\/p>\n

Welfare units, which provide eating and changing areas for site operatives as well as toilets and washing facilities, traditionally run on diesel energy.<\/p>\n

These generators can use up to 100 litres of diesel a week (based on a 40-hour week) \u2013 putting a strain on the environment, the finances of the construction firm and on the generator itself.<\/p>\n

The Fusion Pulse\u00ae units are different \u2013 the Intelligent Solar Technology incorporates a highly efficient 130amp power AGM battery and is charged via intelligent solar power system with built-in controller, backed up by an on-board power unit (silenced generator). This ensures optimum performance is maintained when in use and unmanned.<\/p>\n

So, even without the generator running, the LED lighting, heating system and inverter-powered electrical sockets are operational and warm water can be dispensed in the toilet and canteen.<\/p>\n

Whilst the energy management system<\/a> is an important element, every detail from the building fabric to the ventilation system has been designed to lower energy usage.<\/p>\n

The carbon savings of choosing Fusion Pulse\u00ae over non-eco equivalent products are substantial.<\/p>\n

And for those firms who pledge to reduce their emissions for a particular project, this efficiency would make a significant contribution to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n

Eco credentials aside, a wide range of benefits are apparent when you reduce your reliance on a diesel generator.<\/p>\n
