ICS attains Carbon Trust status

UK: Chiller manufacturer ICS Cool Energy has been added to the Carbon Trust’s Green Business Directory as an accredited supplier.

The Carbon Trust Accredited Supplier Scheme recognises high quality energy efficient equipment and renewable technology suppliers. By being included on the list ICS Cool Energy’s customers will be able to apply for a grant under the Carbon Trust’s Green Business Fund Capital Contribution Scheme.

This is a green energy grant designed to help small and medium sized companies in England, Wales, and Scotland to identify energy saving opportunities and install energy efficient equipment.

For a limited period on a first come, first served basis, customers with compliant projects are able to receive a 30% financial contribution of up to £10,000 towards selected energy saving equipment, now including all ranges from ICS Cool Energy.

“Delivering energy efficiency through our product portfolio has always been a key priority for us and we are proud to be a Carbon Trust accredited supplier,” said Richard Metcalfe, ICS Cool Energy’s sales director. “Finding a suitable and energy efficient temperature control solution can be a complex task so the scheme is of great benefit for end-users who are given clear guidance as to trusted suppliers they can approach and can access the latest energy efficient opportunities and equipment.”
