New Training Opportunities Unveiled to Yorkshire Bank Customers Technology that Doesn't Cost the Earth Wins Award
Slipstream Energy, the Unit based renewable energy company that develops wind turbines for the urban environment, has won national acclaim for its web site.
Winning one of the prestigious Big Chip awards, Slipstream Energy walked away with the title of “Big Green Chip” for the best application of digital technology which directly helps to preserve the environment.
Working in conjunction with Bowers and Higgins Freelance, Slipstream Energy wanted a web site which conveyed the aesthetic design employed by the company in its products but that didn’t compromise its green credentials. By choosing to run the site on a 100% solar powered server based in California, Slipstream ensures that it is helping to alleviate the growing problem of server energy usage.
Slipstream Energy turbines will be available for installation in 2009. Installations require detailed site surveys to ensure optimum turbine performance.
