BT answers the call for energy savings

摘要

Geoff Loekwood, technical director of Ebm-Papst UK, looks at the huge carbon savings being made by BT after adopting new air conditioning equipment using EC fan technology. As the largest exchange provider in the UK, with 6,500 sites, BT is responding to the increasing broadband demand with a new IP-based communication system, 21 Century Network. The main drivers behind BT's multi- billion pound investment are cost, reliability and, in particular, life cycle costs. The UK air conditioning industry has responded to this demand with new air conditioning technology encompassing Ebm-Papst's EC fan technology.
