National Express is partnering with powerPerfector to implement various energy efficiency solutions across its UK operations to reduce costs and carbon emissions. So far, voltage power optimization and radiant heating have been installed, with lighting upgrades, heating controls, and additional voltage optimization pending. This case study outlines National Express' business drivers to improve efficiency and sustainability, and how their initial projects with powerPerfector have already achieved a 10% reduction in carbon use at bus garages. Ongoing projects are expected to provide further annual savings.
