Actisense cuts carbon emissions thanks to Low Carbon Dorset programme

Dorset-based Marine electronics specialists, Actisense, are set to dramatically drop their carbon emission output, thanks to help from the Low Carbon Dorset programme.

Working with Low Carbon Dorset has been an absolute pleasure. Having identified key areas where we could make significant environmental improvements, we've been able to implement our Actisense Energy Efficiency project and future-proof our facilities with an excellent new heating and lighting systems.
