Energy generation at RDM

As part of our commitment to energy, RDM has further reduced its carbon footprint and spearheaded a new iniative: Wind generated energy.

At RDM's headquarters in Glasgow, a two year project to install two wind turbines has been successfully completed,

Both turbines supply a nominal 30kw of power. This more than covers RDM’s night load and approximately 60 to 70% of daytime load.

RDM’s Managing director, Andrew Chandler said:

"We have been a supporter of sustainable solutions long before it became fashionable. It also happens to be a highly practical answer to rising energy costs. With a round the clock business such as ours, the pay back time is reduced because we can make use of the free energy being produced at all times"

"We have taken the initiative because I believe strongly in doing as much as possible to help reduce the company’s carbon footprint, raise its environmental credentials and promote new technology. Our customers such as Marks and Spencer have committed to a sustainable approach to their business; this project reflects our commitment to them in achieving sustainability throughout the supply chain."

Richard Gillies, Director of Plan A for Marks & Spencer said:

"Our suppliers RDM are experts on energy efficiency, as they provide high quality FM services and equipment to M&S. The equipment enables us to control and monitor the performance of our energy systems. including refrigeration, air conditioning, heating and ventilation. But they have also gone above and beyond in reducing their own carbon footprint".

"We want to congratulate RDM for persevering with their project despite the difficulties they faced, and for their genuine commitment to taking Plan A forward"
