Toilet block uses renewable energy set to help sites achieve net zero
Advanté, the UK-based manufacturer of the Oasis 'instant start' self-contained welfare units, has launched an innovative new Vision Solar toilet block, as part of its commitment to helping sites to achieve net zero.
This latest addition to the renowned Oasis range of welfare units, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is an instant start toilet block with 2 + 1 cubicles that features innovative solar hybrid technology. Vision Solar is completely self-contained and provides male and female facilities for up to 60 people on site.
The new Vision Solar is powered by Oasis Solar Hybrid Technology, which delivers up to 100% renewable energy to power the electrical loads in the unit silently, including lighting, heating, hot water and hand dryers.
"Vision Solar is perfect for any site that wants to increase its use of renewable solar energy and move towards net zero," explains Stan Chapman, Advante's R&D director. "It means sites can reduce their carbon footprint significantly - and it's not just for Summer, as solar gain can be achieved all year round. We are looking forward to helping even more contractors to meet their site sustainability requirements with this new addition to the range."
With up to 100% of electricity being delivered from renewable sources, the unit gives impressive carbon savings and air quality is enhanced due to minimal reliance on a generator.
The Vision Solar units are suitable for use across all types of sites UK wide, from remote locations with no mains facilities to urban areas with low noise and emission reduction requirements.
In addition, Vision Solar is fully Health & Safety Executive compliant and provides hot and cold running water and separate male and female facilities in a high quality, comfortable environment. The innovative new unit is designed to cater for large numbers of staff and comes with an intelligent telemetry system, meaning it can be monitored remotely to ensure trouble-free welfare operation.
