Mitsubishi Electric has launched a series of podcasts which shine a light on the sustainable, zero carbon and legislative issues affecting business today. The ‘Ask ME’ podcasts cover a range of important topics, including corporate sustainability, decarbonising buildings, re-opening offices, new innovative HVAC technologies and how to improve indoor air quality, among many others.

Key industry experts joined together on Thursday for the ‘Decarbonising Heat’ event hosted by flexible energy specialist Flexitricity. The ‘Decarbonising Heat: heat pumps and demand side flexibility’ webinar event brought together key industry thought leaders – Alastair Martin, CSO at Flexitricity, Dave Pearson, Director at Star Renewable Energy, and Roddy Yarr, Assistant Director in Sustainability and Environmental Management at University of Strathclyde to discuss the challenges and opportunities of decarbonising heat as the UK faces its 2050 commitment to deliver net zero.

Head of Sustainability for Mitsubishi Electric, Martin Fahey is joining a special webinar at 4pm on Clean Air Day 2021 (17th June) to focus on what companies should be doing to reduce their own impact on the environment. “Like all companies we are looking at what we can do to reduce carbon across the board and we are also starting the journey to look at the embedded carbon in our products,” he explains, “We felt it was important to join this online forum so that we can appeal to anyone, no matter where they are in the carbon-reduction journey – and learn lessons from each other.”

Mitsubishi Electric has launched its new Plasma Quad Connect air purifier for improved indoor air quality.

Plasma Quad Connect can be bolted on to Mitsubishi Electric’s air conditioning for both new and existing indoor units across the M Series, Mr Slim and City Multi ranges.

Mitsubishi Electric welcomes the latest recommendations from the Climate Change Committee on the need to rapidly scale up heat pump supply chains in its latest report. The CCC’s Sixth Carbon Budget has launched a number of suggested policies and highlighted low-carbon solutions that it believes need greater uptake to help the UK meet its goal of net zero carbon emissions.

Mitsubishi Electric has renewed their partnership with Special Olympics GB for a further two years with immediate effect with both organisations committed to building upon the existing mutually beneficial relationship to help transform the lives of people with intellectual disabilities through sport.

Ploughing ahead with its commitment to helping installers stay ahead of industry trends, Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation’s (GDHV) new Training Academy recently proved a hit with more than fifty engineers working on behalf of housing association Aster Group. As a long-standing client, since 2015 GDHV has been supplying its innovative Dimplex electric heating solutions to Aster, which owns, develops and manages over 30,000 residential properties across the south of England.

It would seem that Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation’s (GDHV) commitment to helping installers stay informed knows no bounds, as the business’ two new state-of-the-art training vans have already clocked up almost 30,000 miles since May 2019. Earlier this year the industry leader invested significantly in launching two new liveried vans, full of training equipment, in a bid to provide tailored, expert training to installers all over the country – as and when they need it.
