Peterborough Mail Centre was constructed in 1994-5 adjacent to Dresser-Rand's
Peterborough operation. The mail centre covers a floor area of more than 20,000
square metres and includes a large sorting hall, distribution warehouse, regional offices
and staff facilities. For effective and efficient operation, the facility requires heat
and power to be available throughout the year.

Constructed in 1997, Leeds Mail Centre is strategically placed to provide high volume
mail sorting to the West Yorkshire area. With demand for both heat and power
throughout the year, the facility represented another excellent opportunity for the
Royal Mail to benefit from CHP.

The Mail Centre at Greenford in North West London is one of Royal Mail's key
facilities for the processing of the capital's mail. Required to operate continuously
throughout the year, both day and night, the facility is responsible for processing
over one million letters and packages every 24 hours. The uninterrupted operation
of the facility is critical in helping the Royal Mail to meet its performance targets for
mail delivery.

Opened in July 2002 the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts in Gateshead is the
UK's largest visual arts centre outside London. Formerly the Baltic Flour Mill, the
development is situated adjacent to the river Tyne and represents a significant investment
in tourism for the North East. In order to protect the works of art and ensure
visitor enjoyment of the art centre, it is important to maintain a comfortable climatic
environment throughout the year.

186k operate a number of broadband telecommunications centres around the UK.
Each telecommunications centre is built to provide electronic storage and switching
capacity for internet service providers (ISP's) and telecommunication companies in
the surrounding area. The site at Bristol has a constant requirement for electricity and
cooling.

Telecommunication centres contain vast amounts of electronic storage and switching
capacity for internet service providers (ISPs) and telecommunication companies.
186k operate a number of broadband telecommunications centres around the UK.
Reliability of power and cooling systems to such installations is paramount and the
cost of failure has a significant impact on the business.

The extensive redevelopment of Airbus UK's manufacturing facility in Broughton,
Cheshire comprises several buildings that accommodate the equipment required to
manufacture the wings for the A380 double deck super jumbo jet. With a number of
manufacturing units dispersed around the site, Airbus were keen to explore the possibility
of implementing a distributed CHP solution that could provide secure power and
flexible thermal outputs to serve both space heating and process requirements.

Airbus UK's manufacturing facility in Broughton, North Wales, has undergone extensive
redevelopment over recent years, reflecting the success of the expanding range
of Airbus aircraft. The new West Factory, a £350 million building the size of 12 football
pitches is being used for the assembly of wings for A380 and other manufacturing
activity. The factory has a significant demand for thermal energy, including that of
the wing painting facility.

Commencing construction in July 2003, the new £261 million Queen's Hospital PFI
development was built to replace the ageing Harold Wood and Oldchurch sites. Built
on a brown field site, the new hospital incorporates state-of-the-art facilities and the
latest technical advancements. This hospital site provided an ideal application for CHP as it has a simultaneous
demand for heating and power throughout the day.

The Walbrook Building in London is one of the first sites to install a trigeneration
system which incorporates multi-effect chiller technology. As part of the planning
consent for the project the consultant had to demonstrate the most efficient and
low carbon solution for the power, heating and chilling loads for the site. Working
alongside Dresser-Rand from the outset, the CCHP system was developed
specifically to accommodate the requirements of the site.
