analyzing our gas , water , and electricity usage to supplement previous energy saving initiatives including installing over 1000 solar panels on our office roof and switching to LED lighting throughout the building . In addition , to optimize our gas usage , we implemented several initiatives , including replacing our powder coating curing burners with more energy efficient ones . Furthermore , after having our carbon footprint assessed in March , we gained insight into areas we need to improve . The assessment revealed electricity usage and personnel travel as the two major factors Crittall still needs to address . Although there are more ways we can improve our electricity efficiency , there are limitations regarding our personnel ’ s fuel consumption , as they cannot manufacture our products from home . However , I believe we offset this by making products that are intrinsically eco-friendly ,” he informs .

Expanding further on this point , Darren sheds light on the sustainability of Crittall ’ s products , which is a current focus of the R & D team . “ Derived from 100 percent recycled materials , our steel is not only highly sustainable , but can also be recycled once it reaches the end of its century-long lifespan . Additionally , steel offers a small profile compared to PVCu , aluminum or timber , allowing more natural daylight and heat to permeate through windows . Consequently , buildings become more energy efficient , reducing their need for heating . Lately , we have started developing even more sustainable products . Specifically , we introduced a range of thermally broken steel products , which has gained significant traction over the last few years . In fact , this range is becoming an increasingly larger part of our product portfolio . Crittall has also started advertising several innovative products ,” he enlightens .
