Cutting energy costs allows RAF museum to take flight

Supplier: Vickers Energy Group

More Vickers Energy Group details
The Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum Cosford is hoping to cut the cost of heating its hangars after signing Vickers Energy Group to install its energy management system.

The Shropshire museum hopes to save more than £25,000 per year by converting to the Vickers Energy Management System – it was previously heating its three hangars by using gas fired radiant tube heating built in the 1930s. The Vickers Energy system uses high accuracy temperature sensing to moderate the temperature to 0.1 degrees Celsius.

Vickers Energy last year delivered a system to regulate the heating in the museum’s largest hangar, which was costing £50,000 a year to heat. The system has already reduced gas consumption by 28 per cent and CO2 emissions by 96 tonnes per year at the 5,000ft2 hangar – leading to a saving of £14,000.

The energy company projects that its system, which will now be installed in the two remaining hangars, will reduce CO2 by an additional 103 tonnes per year and provide a further saving of at least £9,500 annually.

The museum, which attracts 300,000 visitors every year, is one of two RAF museums in the UK and features the world’s oldest Spitfire and a Lincoln Bomber among the 70 aircraft it has on display.
