Twycross Zoo has joined other zoos and organisations to help reduce the carbon footprint with Savawatt Controls. Savawatt devices have been introduced to reduce the power consumption of all fridges and freezers in catering and research areas. Savings in regards to the installation of Savawatt fixed speed motor controls have typically been around 13%.
