The Enigin

Enigin - The Dark Nights

Coming to the end of the year in the Enigin office, all Enigin employees are working hard on projects with the aim of rounding them up ready to start the new year with a clean canvas. The afternoons start to get dark at around 4 which instantly makes me sleepy.  I don’t know how those guys in the Nordic Countries deal with it although if you do a wiki search on them, it states that a study of more than 2000 people there found seasonal affective disorder and depression unexpectedly low.  Apparently this could be attributed to the large amount of fish they eat.  So I guess my advice to you today is if you’re feeling a bit depressed cos the winter months are closing in, eat more fish.

Enigin - certainty in uncertain times

Here at Enigin HQ, the Enigin team find it important to keep up to date with the latest news and issues affecting our climate and the field we work in.  

As the Enigin Office Manager, I have been intrigued by what is happening in Copenhagen with the climate summit which is now in full swing.  Delegates from 192 countries are aiming to reach a new treaty on climate change.  Some might argue that this couldn’t have happened at a worse time with the UN launching an investigation into the recent ‘Climategate’ scandal. 

These claims that UK scientists manipulated global warming data to support the theory that it is man made does nothing for the scientific world’s reputation.  The public are now very sceptical, unable to determine who are corrupt and biased and who have actually investigated climate change honestly.

When it comes to energy consumption; Enigin presents the facts in a very clear, uncomplicated format.  Our Eniscope offers real-time monitoring on your energy consumption with an easy to use interface to show you exactly what you’re using at any time.  Instantly you can spot trends and wastage - how you use this information is up to you but it’s your decision - it allows you to be in control of your carbon footprint, where as before all you could do is rely on what people tell you.

Enigin Saving Energy

Here in the actual Enigin HQ, we are always looking at ways to cut down our carbon footprint, whether its for our own office or developing new products that may benefit other industries. 

In every room we have the Enigin ‘Light Energy Saver System’ (LESS) which senses how light the room is, particularly when its bright outside, and adjusts the light fittings accordingly.  I particularly like this feature as I am not a big fan of artifical light but this system works alongside the natural lighting outside which is a good thing to have. 

Another bonus to this is that by using less artifical lighting, we are using less electricity and therefore making a significant saving on how much the office costs to run.
