Winners of New IOR Environmental Award

16 Feb 2026

⭐WINNERS!⭐ Space Engineering Services is delighted to have won the Institute of Refrigeration Beyond Refrigeration Environment Award 2026 for our Booster Integrated Solution Plus (BIS+).

This is a new award for projects that demonstrate the achievements in our sector in the reduction of environmental emissions from cooling. We have now been invited to give a technical paper on the IOR written papers programme to ensure there is awareness of the BIS+ solution. It’s an honour to be able to help promote the advancement of technology and support our exciting sector in this way.

The success of BIS+ has been reflected in high client satisfaction, with businesses seeing tangible benefits in energy efficiency, cost savings, and operational performance. As a result, the project has paved the way for future installations and further collaborations, demonstrating the long-term viability of this cutting-edge refrigeration and heat pump solution.

On the award announcement, Operations Director Andy Sealy shared, “This is a fantastic achievement for our whole team and reflects the dedication, innovation and collaboration behind the project.

BIS+ demonstrates that retail refrigeration can go beyond compliance and deliver genuine carbon reduction. By replacing multiple HFC plants and gas boilers with a compact, all-electric CO₂ solution, we have reduced materials, energy use and emissions, while achieving verified lifecycle carbon savings of around 180 tonnes and delivering a strong commercial return.

This award reinforces our belief that natural refrigerant systems, combined with intelligent controls and continuous improvement, can set a new benchmark for low-carbon refrigeration and heating for our customers across the retail and industrial sectors. We look forward to building on this success and helping more businesses transition away from fossil fuels.”
