Mitie<\/a> has helped Vodafone UK<\/a> save 100-gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy in three years, the equivalent of 25,000 tonnes of CO2<\/sub><\/h2>\n

Mitie worked with Vodafone UK to deliver the savings as part of its energy performance<\/a> contract.<\/p>\n

Mitie and Vodafone have audited 90 of Vodafone\u2019s buildings, including offices, contact centres, data centres and Mobile Telephone Exchange (MTX) network sites, to assess energy usage and ensure efficiencies.<\/p>\n

Building control<\/h3>\n

The audits checked that a building\u2019s lighting, heating and air conditioning systems<\/a> were operating at the highest energy efficiency rating.<\/p>\n

At more complex locations, such as data centres and MTX (mobile telephone exchange) network sites, where 24\/7 power is essential to keep the network running, sensors providing real-time data were used to identify energy-saving opportunities.<\/p>\n

For example, temperature sensors in data centres enabled the airflow to be automatically adjusted up or down remotely, ensuring the correct environment for this critical equipment in the most energy-efficient way.<\/p>\n

In offices and call centres, sensors in air conditioning systems enabled \u2018dynamic controls\u2019 so the air temperature could be managed remotely and at speed dependent on weather and conditions.<\/p>\n

During the Covid-19 lockdown<\/a>, all but essential technical staff were moved to home working, meaning more buildings could be hibernated.<\/p>\n

Mitie and Vodafone will continue to assess Vodafone\u2019s buildings to identify further energy saving opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u2018100% renewable electricity by 2021\u2019<\/h3>\n

Pradyumna Pandit, managing director, Sustainability and Energy Services, Mitie, said: \u201cThis landmark energy-saving \u2013 and staggering 25,000-tonne reduction in CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions \u2013 was made possible thanks to the collaboration between Mitie and Vodafone UK teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to our energy managers, sustainability experts, and colleagues on the frontline, who have all contributed to this achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be helping UK businesses achieve ambitious environmental targets and look forward to continuing our work with Vodafone UK to help it meet its next energy reduction goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Petty, chief technology officer at Vodafone UK, said: \u201cNot everything we\u2019ve done here is revolutionary; we\u2019ve achieved these staggering savings by doing the basics well and making energy reduction something we think about each and every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombined with our commitment to power our network with 100% renewable electricity by 2021 \u2013 and help our customers reduce their own carbon footprints with our connectivity and Internet of Things<\/a> technology \u2013 this will ensure we are helping to build a more sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n
