ENER-G has opened its new research and development centre in Salford, Greater Manchester.
The sustainable energy group held an opening event as a joint celebration to mark production of the first batch of ENER-G's new E-MAGINE building energy management control system, developed by the in-house team.

ENER-G group chairman Tim Scott opened the new centre, next door to the company's global headquarters. He said: 'We are investing more than £1 million per year in research and development to ensure that ENER-G continues to be a global leader in clean technology - producing innovative world class products that reduce cost and carbon.'

The new r&d centre is home to the company's hardware development team, which worked in partnership with ENER-G'S software design engineers, based in Sussex, to develop the new building controls technology. Now the team are working on the second phase of the E-MAGINE product together with future projects, including advanced control systems for low carbon technologies, such as heat pumps, air conditioning, combined heat and power units and metering systems.
