Will there be any special offers available to visitors to your stand?
Visitors will have to drop by our stand A30, to find out about any special offers on the day!
What do you think are the main trends in the sector?
Right now, amidst an energy crisis, smart technologies will be focused on operational efficiency. Utilising smart technologies and control strategies within existing buildings to ensure effective use of utilities, space, and assets. This not only saves on energy and carbon consumption but will also extend the life of critical plant.
With all the data that can be extracted from a smart building, real time visualisation via cloud-based platforms is becoming far more prevalent. Having access to this data is an invaluable tool to Building and Facilities Managers, who manage several buildings within a portfolio. Alerts can be raised, and problems intercepted before they become a critical issue, increasing uptime for the building whilst also proactively guiding maintenance schedules.
What is your company’s policy on sustainability and net zero?
Sauter recognises that its activities have the potential for both positive and negative impacts upon the environment at local and national levels. The company seeks to achieve continual improvement in how it understands and responds to its environmental impacts.
It is our policy to minimise any impact on the environment by activities in the design, installation, maintenance, and operation of building services in a responsible and accountable way. Sauter reduces waste created and where possible to, reuse and recycle before responsible disposal of surplus materials; to use recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible. We integrate principles of environmental sustainability within company policies and practices, specifically to those relating to procurement of goods and services.
Sauter’s head office is 100% electrified with a zero emissions contract. Additionally, we utilise a roof-mounted solar PV system for onsite renewable generation. Sauter Automation Ltd is committed to becoming a Net-Zero (scope 1&2 emissions) business by 2030 and shall continue to work with our supply chain to reach the global goal of Net-Zero by 2050.
