Neutral Supply Chain has wide experience of sustainability design and hands-on engineering implementation in the retrofit and new build of warehousing. Working with the architect and operational team we ensure that best practice standards for operational and energy efficiency are incorporated at the design phase, then delivered in build and setting to work. Over the last eight years NSC’s involvement has extended across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, working with global customers such as McDonald’s and Inchcape Shipping Services.

Starting with benchmark data from typical new build warehouses we work with refrigeration and energy specialists such as Excalibur to build efficiency across the full range of building parameters: siting and orientation; chill plant specification; design of refrigerated spaces; slab, structure and doors; electrical
heating systems; lighting; MHE; supporting systems and offices. This approach will typically deliver a 15% reduction in energy consumption over a ‘business as usual’ new build.
