One of our aims as Engineers is to keep up with the forefront of the technologies within the building industry. As we all know the Energy or CO2 we expend to use to heat, light, power to our homes & business are important to us all.
PV Panels (Photovoltaic)
Converting Energy from the Sun
into electrical energy
|
|
|
Solar Thermal
Converting Energy from the Sun into Domestic Hot Water or Heating |
Heat pumps
Air (ASHP) or Ground source heat pumps (GSHP)
transfer heat from our natural environment for our
heating & hot water need; Heat pumps work at a
ratio of 1 / 4 input power to output ratio

This has led us to investigate, research and implement new technologies within our designs. Some of these advancements are now being required by Planners, Building Control or BREEAM/Code for Sustainable Homes; we seek the appropriate green solution to meet all of our clients’ needs and budgets.
Low or Zero Carbon (LZC) technologies include renewable energy systems such as ground- or air-source heat pumps, solar thermal hot water, solar photovoltaic electricity, wind power, CHP, bio-fuel, etc, as well as passive solar design and passive ventilation systems.
