15 Sep The importance of an energy-efficient construction site
A guide to energy-efficient construction site welfare units
Across the globe, countries have passed legislation to reduce their environmental impact in a bid to halt climate change.
From the manufacture and transport of materials to onsite machinery, it is unsurprising that the construction industry is one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions. However, innovative new eco-friendly construction seeks to conserve resources and minimise the use of carbon-releasing energy forms.
An energy-efficient construction project starts with on-site welfare
With the spotlight on eco-friendly construction materials and practices, it makes sense to boost efforts with sustainable site facilities. When it comes to making your construction site more energy efficient, we’re happy to share our advice…
Sustainable construction site welfare facilities
EasyCabin is a leading provider of energy-efficient construction site accommodation. We are proud to have won numerous awards for our sustainable welfare facilities and alternative power solutions.
Curbing energy wastage and switching to sustainable alternatives are two of the more effective ways to improve your company’s green credentials. With spiralling energy prices on top of global concerns about climate change, sustainable options demonstrate significant cost savings, which adds to their appeal.
Developing energy-efficient construction project facilities
We feel it is everyone’s responsibility to affect change for the better. With this in mind, we have developed a number of energy-efficient solutions.
Our construction site welfare facilities incorporate the following technologies and protocols:
- Reduction of energy consumption by using low-demand LED lighting wherever practical
- Cutting down on carbon emissions by opting for Stage V HVO emission-compliant engines
- Choosing efficient battery power and solar PV systems
- Making units fuel-efficient and safe
- Using eco-friendly construction materials for cabins
- Producing upgrade packs, so that existing older units can be made more energy efficient, e.g. adding solar panels
Our energy-efficient construction site accommodation
Our Ecosmart ZERO units are a great alternative to the old-fashioned diesel-ONLY-powered cabins:
- Ecosmart ZERO CO2 welfare units – mobile facilities
- Ecostatic ZERO CO2 welfare units – static cabins
By combining solar panels with a backup hydrogen fuel cell, our energy-efficient units eliminate local carbon emissions.
Our welfare facilities also incorporate a thick insulated floor and roof, for extra warmth, and automatic fuel cell shut-off to prevent unnecessary fuel usage.
Our solar powered toilets
A toilet is an essential facility on every construction site. So, why not choose an energy-efficient solar-powered toilet pod?
Our toilets have an on-demand hot water system that utilises solar power and an efficient LPG gas boiler, creating an ideal energy-efficient portable toilet and bathroom unit.
Our solar-powered loos are available in a range of sizes and configurations, to meet the requirements of your workforce. From a toilet pod to unisex loos and multiple urinals, we have the solution for you.
Eco-friendly, vandal-proof, and portable, they are the ideal solution for most construction sites. If you have any questions about our solar-powered toilets, call our team today on 01582 310894.
More energy efficient solutions
We offer a range of sustainable power solutions for a truly energy-efficient construction site. Options include:
- Solar Pod – a hybrid portable Solar power generator
- Solar Smart – a unique plug ‘n’ play solar panel system for cabin roofs.
- Charge Pod – our hybrid tool charging station
- Solar Light ZERO – solar-powered temporary street lighting
- Solar Tower Pod – our ZERO emissions mobile off-grid flood lighting tower
Benefits to energy-efficient construction sites
Our energy-efficient welfare cabins demonstrate significant savings when compared to facilities that are powered by fuel-guzzling diesel generators.
In addition, being environmentally responsible sends out an important message about your company’s commitment to energy reduction and sustainability.
Increasingly, contractors must prove their green credentials during the tendering process. If you are unable to demonstrate evidence of this, you might find yourself at a disadvantage to your competitors.
