Finally, Micheál Galvin, Managing Director of Enviroeye Engineering will be discussing how the requirements of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive feed into the use of existing and the development of new methodologies to show cost-benefits and assist asset owners in the pharmaceutical sector achieve higher energy performance for the energy services needed for production. A focus on energy services approach can provide a production driven design for sustainability, with energy performance criteria for equipment selection.

You can meet all our speakers at Britest’s stand (825) in the exhibition hall.
