The official opening of SAV Systems’ low carbon energy centre in Manor Place, Edinburgh in September was marked by a symposium on the application of low carbon, energy-efficient technologies. The event featured a number of presentations mixed with lively and informative discussion. Our thanks go to the consulting engineers, contractors and local authority specifiers who attended, as well as our partners from Danfoss, EC Power, Airmaster and Kamstrup. We are especially grateful to Stuart J. MacPherson, Honorary Danish Consul in Edinburgh, for performing the official opening ceremony.
