Voltage optimisation is a simple, cost-efficient way to control a building’s incoming voltage in order to maximise energy savings and Powerstar, EMSc (UK) Ltd’s award-winning voltage optimisation system, is recognised as being the most efficient voltage solution in the world – it can save up to 26.1% of total electricity consumption and related CO2 emissions without compromising the supply to electrical equipment.

Commenting on the upcoming event, Dr Alex Mardapittas, managing director at EMSc (UK) Ltd, said: "This seminar is aimed at introducing NHS and local council executives to voltage optimisation and the guaranteed cost savings the technology offers. Delivered in association with various experts, the seminar will demonstrate that voltage optimisation is a credible energy efficiency technology that can help address carbon reduction issues while helping to combat the relentless rise in energy prices."

The seminar is free to attend, will take place from 9:30 am until 1.00 pm, and will include a buffet lunch and networking opportunities. Attendees will be awarded with training certificates and self-assessment forms on completion of the event.
