Dear valued partners and stakeholders,

In the face of mounting energy costs and the urgent need for companies to align with net-zero targets by 2030, it has become imperative for businesses to explore more energy-efficient systems as a means of reducing their carbon footprint.

For those operating within temperature-controlled environments, this challenge is particularly pertinent.

Embracing cutting-edge air conditioning systems tailored to your commercial needs, while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions, is a key step in addressing the pressing issue of global warming.

At JE Mechanical, we offer a solution that goes beyond the ordinary. Our expertise lies in establishing temperature-controlled warehouses that provide distinct advantages.

We achieve this through the incorporation of sophisticated enthalpy control strategies and the deployment of our patented modular diffusion plenum.

Our track record demonstrates that JE Mechanical systems consistently exhibit an impressive 40% to 50% improvement in energy efficiency compared to standard installations.

With over a decade of experience in delivering top-tier temperature-controlled solutions to prominent retail and distribution centres across Australia, JE Mechanical consistently sets industry benchmarks.

We remain at the forefront of temperature-controlled warehouse solutions by harnessing the latest advancements in technology.

The implementation of our advanced systems translates into tangible reductions in carbon emissions and energy costs for major Australian corporations—an outcome of particular significance in light of the anticipated doubling of energy costs in the years ahead.

To illustrate the impact of our solutions, consider a substantial 10,000m2 warehouse. A conventional, outdated system would consume an average of 600,000 kW/h per annum.

In contrast, JE Mechanical's operational data for the same warehouse specifications and climatic conditions indicates significantly lower energy consumption, at just 275,000 kW/h per year.

The consequences of sticking with existing temperature-controlled systems are underscored by an additional environmental cost: emitting 309 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere.

By choosing JE Mechanical's systems and advanced technology, businesses can reduce this impact to the equivalent of:

  • Removing 255 cars from the road for a year, or
  • Preventing the release of carbon equivalent to 45 Olympic swimming pools into the atmosphere.

The challenge of carbon emissions is undeniably significant, and JE Mechanical stands as a proactive solution provider in addressing this pressing issue.

We invite you to join us in the pursuit of a more sustainable future—one where cutting-edge technology meets environmental responsibility. Together, we can make a substantial impact on reducing carbon emissions while simultaneously optimising energy efficiency.

Thank you for considering JE Mechanical as your partner in the journey towards a greener and more sustainable tomorrow.
