Capitoline becomes the first
IT services company to be awarded Low Carbon Consultant status
Capitoline LLP, an I.T.
physical infrastructure design consultancy, has become the first IT
services company to be awarded the prestigious Low Carbon Consultant
status by CIBSE, the Chartered Institute of Building Services
Engineers.
The British government realised the need for an approval process
that would recognise the engineering capabilities of companies and
individuals to design and approve designs of buildings as meeting
the requirements of the Building Regulations Part L (energy
conservation) and the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive,
now both in force in the UK.
The government has approved the CIBSE Low Carbon Consultant scheme
to be able to qualify designs and give energy conservation advice
according the regulations described above.
Capitoline is the first company to apply this design expertise and
qualification to the requirements of computer rooms and data
centres. With data centres in particular often demanding more power
than the local utility can supply, plus the rising cost of energy,
electricity conservation in these areas is going to become one of
the largest requirements in IT projects over the next five years.
