As part of the Government’s drive to ensure all new homes are ‘zero carbon’ by 2016, the energy efficiency standards for all new builds have been raised in recent years. The introduction of the Code for Sustainable Homes and the most recent revisions to the Building Regulations Parts L and F, have made it all the more important to model a property’s energy usage and thermal efficiency at the design stage. This is where we come in.
As registered Low Carbon Consultants we are well-qualified to ensure that each building design meets the requirements of each local authority’s planning department. We can advise on the right integrated approach for your building, in order to provide a cost-effective solution for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
These may include renewable technologies such as:
- Biomass boiler
- Combined heat and power
- Solar thermal panels
- Air, ground or water source heat pumps
- Solar photovoltaic panels
- Wind turbine
