Renewable Energy Technologies
Using renewable energy reduces our dependance on conventional energy sources that contribute to climate change and can help improve the energy efficiency plus reduce the carbon-footprint of your buildings.
There are a wide range of renewable energy technologies to consider:
Solar PV / Solar panels
Photovoltaic (solar) panel systems utilise daylight to produce electrical power for normal use within a building. PV systems can be installed as either retro-fit or building integrated and replace standard building components.
Solar thermal water heating
Solar thermal / solar water heating systems use heat energy from the sun to generate hot water for up to 50% of domestic hot water usage.
Micro-wind turbines
Micro-wind turbines generate some electricity about 65% of the time for normal use within a building. Modern turbines have been specifically designed to be more efficient, noise and vibration free.
