‘We are going back to future’

By Chris Holland

With climate change and reducing our carbon footprint high on the agenda, a Bradford company is supplying technology which it says can reduce emissions by around 30 per cent.

The environmental division of Shorts Industries, based on the Bradford Business Park on Canal Road, is the main UK distributor for a range of heaters and chillers that offer a low carbon alternative to traditional equipment.

But it's not new "whiz-kid" technology that offers buildings services engineers an energy efficient way forward - Shorts is marketing the products as a "back to the future" solution to tackling the UK's carbon footprint.

The Italian-made Robur products use gas-fired heat pumps based on a system invented and patented in the United States by Albert Einstein more than 80 years ago.

2. great news. A 30% reduction is great, relatively speaking (sorry couldn't pass it up).
