ENERGY STATEMENTS – LOW & ZERO CARBON TECHNOLOGY FEASIBILITY STUDIES – COMBINED HEAT & POWER - RENEWABLE ENERGY

 

Energy Statements

 

The Energy Statement is now an integral part of your planning application. This must demonstrate how your development will reduce its carbon emissions by including Low & Zero Carbon Technologies (LZCT). Initially a 10% target reduction in carbon emissions was required, now many Local Planning Authorities are setting a challenging 20% carbon reduction. Our Sustainable Energy Assessments have successfully supported a number of diverse Planning Applications, ask us for more details.

 

Low & Zero Carbon (LZC) Technology Feasibility Studies

 

The LZC technology Feasibility study ENE 7 scores invaluable extra points as part of the Code for Sustainable Homes Assessment. As an independent energy specialist we would identify a range of measures that could help your development achieve the higher code rating.

 

Combined Heat & Power

 

Local authority planning policy recognises CHP as a low carbon solution to achieve the carbon reduction target. Considering the feasibility of CHP has numerous benefits. It can significantly reduce the capital investment cost required to meet the carbon reduction target, and meet the Part L requirement of the Building Regs. We have extensive experience of the successful application of CHP and Tri-generation, i.e. heating and cooling.

 

Renewable Energy

 

Solar thermal panels, photo voltaic, ground source heating, biomass, biofuel, and wind turbines. From the maze of existing and emerging renewable technologies we would identify the most practical and cost effective renewable solution to meet the energy demand profile of your development. To minimise the impact of renewable energy on a new development, the most cost effective way to reduce carbon emissions is by energy efficiency and, when appropriate,  using software to model and substantiate the energy profile of the proposed development.
