In an era where the cost of energy produced from finite fossil fuels is on an ever increasing upwards spiral, it makes sense to focus on the development and installation of technologies that can generate energy from free renewable sources, whilst being environmentally benign in the terms of CO² emissions.

There are several different types of Micro-Renewable technologies that can be installed on buildings to produce energy. Indeed, it is possible to make buildings ‘Zero Carbon’; meaning that a building produces all of the energy it needs for heating, lighting and power all by itself from carbon neutral devices.  Different kinds of renewable technologies include.

It is extremely important to investigate the feasibility of installing a micro renewable energy device prior to installation.  A feasibility study will establish what the most suitable kind of device is for a particular location and determine likely ‘payback’ periods for capital installation costs.  For example, a wind turbine obviously will not work efficiently in a sheltered location; PVs or Solar Heat panels will not work efficiently if overshadowed by other buildings or trees; local geology may dictate the effectiveness and type of ground source heat system that can be installed.
