Benefits of Solar Thermal Water Heating
Solar thermal systems collect free solar radiation, available throughout the year, via flat plate panels or evacuated tubes positioned on a building’s roof. This energy is used to heat water stored within a specially designed cylinder which then serves taps, showers, baths and any other appliances with a hot water feed. When necessary, a supplementary […]
Reducing Heat loss- equates to lower energy bills
The most cost effective measures your organisation can implement to reduce your energy bills are to reduce heat loss caused by the building fabric itself. To achieve a reduction in heat loss, the first important step is to add the insulation to roofs, walls and floors. The majority of existing properties have insufficient amount of […]
Reducing Carbon Emission from Space Heating Using Biomass Boilers
UK has set a target of achieving at least 15% of overall energy from renewable sources by 2020. Since space heating accounts for approximately 44% of UK’s overall energy demand, biomass boilers as a renewable heating technology will make a great contribution to reduce carbon emissions in the UK. Biomass derived from fresh biological origins […]
Effective controls as a catalyst for emission reduction in existing buildings
It is estimated that there are approximately 26 million domestic and non-domestic buildings in the UK that accounts for 50% of UK’s overall carbon emissions. Moreover, new buildings will not be able to make a large contribution to reach the carbon reduction target of 80% by 2050 as they amount to only 1 to 2% […]
