With a concern for the environment, Riello UPS has taken an active role in developing a culture of sustainable development and reduced energy consumption. It has established a number of environmentally friendly projects and made substantial R&D investments into new technologies.
These are targeted at the generation of ‘clean energy’ products and the development of even more efficient UPS in the future.
Riello UPS has a company-wide initiative to become the most environmentally friendly power protection company in Europe. As a company, Riello UPS is a major contributor to the European Commission – Code of Conduct on Energy Efficiency and Quality of AC Uninterruptible Power Supplies – and the first European manufacturer to rate its products for ECO Energy Level effciency.
The European Commission Code of Conduct is a document signed by the major UPS manufacturers in Europe which outlines the efficiency levels to reach for specific size bands from 10-800kVA, from 25% to 100% loading.
Riello UPS exceeds the specifications of the European Code of Conduct (on Energy Efficiency and Quality of Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and has also introduced energy savings products below 3kVA – known as the ‘ECO LINE’. Again the focus is on energy efficiency and savings – for instance by ensuring that power is not consumed by the UPS when it is connected to the mains power supply, with no load or output voltage.
