Net Zero Head Office – Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation
Electric heating and heat pump manufacturer Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation have certified their head office in Southampton as Net Zero Carbon through many energy generating and saving initiatives across the site.
Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation are a leading manufacturer and trusted professional partner providing innovative and sustainable heating and ventilation solutions for residential spaces and light commercial buildings for both new build and retrofit applications.
Managing our estates’ sustainability is critical to making progress on our sustainability strategy and our Net Zero Carbon commitment. At our head office in Southampton, the facilities management team has certified the site as Net Zero Carbon since October 2021 through many energy generating and saving initiatives.
These initiatives include the installation of on-site solar panels, moving to certified 100% renewable energy, switching all our lighting to LED sensors, centralised temperature controls, and tinted windows. These improvements gave Millbrook House a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) rating of 84 (the benchmark equivalent being 100).
We have also achieved an 80% water reduction by improving our washroom facilities, zero waste to landfill and to improve biodiversity in our landscaping, we partnered with the Hampshire Wildlife Trust to conduct a Phase 1 habitat study.
