Low-Carbon Buildings Need Joined-Up Thinking, Not Quick Fixes 

Modern glass buildings reflecting a bright blue sky with wispy clouds.

There is no shortage of pressure on businesses to become greener. At ASH Integrated Services, we believe low-carbon building improvements need joined-up thinking and not quick fixes.  Pressure can lead to rushed decisions.  Energy costs, carbon targets, EPC ratings, landlord responsibilities, client expectations and public sector procurement requirements are all pushing organisations to look more seriously at the […]

The Greenest Building Upgrade Might Be Looking After What You Already Have 

An abandoned building is overgrown with lush green ivy and other vegetation, with a spiral staircase visible on the side.

There is a lot of noise around green buildings, and rightly so; it’s gone beyond the time to listen; now is the time to act.  Solar panels. Heat pumps. Smart controls. Low-carbon technology.

Young People Cannot Choose Careers They Do Not Know Exist

A man in a black shirt explains something to a group of young people in brown suits standing around a table with various items on it.

Young people are making big decisions with limited information.  That is the issue.  They are expected to choose subjects, courses, apprenticeships, university routes and career paths.

Power outages rarely happen at a convenient time.  Whether it’s a complete loss of power, a partial outage affecting specific areas, or repeated electrical faults, the impact can quickly spread beyond the building itself.  Operations stop. Staff become frustrated. Customers are affected. In some environments, safety can also become a concern.  The good news is that the […]

Close-up of solar panels

Demand for renewable energy is rising.   More organisations are investing in cleaner, more efficient systems to reduce costs and support long-term sustainability goals.  That includes technologies such as solar PV, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, hydrogen boilers and underfloor heating.  As interest grows, so does the need for trusted contractors who can deliver these systems safely and […]
