Mitsubishi Electric Named to CDP’s Supplier Climate and Water A Lists

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that the CDP, a global disclosure system that enables companies and cities to measure and manage their environmental impacts, has presented the company with top “A List” rankings for outstanding climate- and water-management practices that Mitsubishi Electric deploys in its supply chain programs. This is Mitsubishi Electric’s second consecutive year to be named to these leaders’ lists. 

A-List rankings are based on questionnaires sent to suppliers in the supply chains of CDP member companies. 

The CDP also announced in October 2017 that Mitsubishi Electric had been named to the separate CDP Climate 2017 A List and CDP Water 2017 A List, both for the second consecutive year, recognizing the company’s outstanding efforts to mitigate climate change and protect water resources, respectively. 

Mitsubishi Electric is a leader in the development and provision of advanced environmental technologies that enable diverse global businesses to achieve enhanced sustainability, safety, reliability and comfort for the benefit of global society. Based on its Environmental Vision 2021, the company is contributing to the creation of low-carbon, recycling-based societies and biodiversity protection. Mitsubishi Electric is also contributing to sustainability by steadily reducing the environmental impact of production processes throughout its global value chains and by developing reduced-impact products and services.

R32 Room Air Conditioning selected for University College London

One of University College London’s (UCL) main buildings has been equipped with a new R32 air conditioning system from Mitsubishi Electric for the Division of Biosciences. 

The Division is housed in the impressive Rockefeller Building. UCL’s Division of Biosciences boasts an outstanding international reputation and a community of over 500 staff and 300 PhD students engaged in cutting edge research and collaboration. 

The College needed a quick and efficient heating and cooling system which also met UCL’s environmental requirements and Mitsubishi Electric’s M Series MSZ-LN was chosen due to the pivotal role R32 refrigerant will play in meeting future legislation and reducing the environmental impact of air conditioning, heat pumps and refrigeration. 

Keith Kerridge, Building Services Manager, UCL Estates, said, “The Rockefeller building required an extra air conditioning system on one of its floors and we were impressed with what Mitsubishi Electric’s system could offer. We wanted a system that would provide a comfortable working environment for our staff and students, as well as being environmentally friendly. The M Series MSZ-LN suits our needs perfectly.” 

The two stylish air conditioning units were installed over a three-day period and are the first R32 systems within UCL’s estate. The short installation period was crucial to ensure minimum disruption to the building’s occupants. 

Another feature that makes the M Series range suitable for UCL is its quiet operation, with noise levels as low as 19dBA, making it ideal for use in a quiet study environment. 

The M Series MSZ-LN air conditioning range was Mitsubishi Electric’s first product in its UK line-up to utilise R32 refrigerant. MSZ-LN units include a built-in Wi-Fi interface enabling full control and monitoring via the MELCloud App, and a sophisticated i-see Sensor in the unit automatically monitors room occupancy, position and body temperatures to deliver customised comfort.
