Managing Carbon Sustainable Development Webpage
We have tailored a range of technical services to meet planning requirements
relating to Sustainable Energy. The London Plan includes specific requirements
relating to energy efficiency, renewable on-site generation and Combined Heat &
Power (CHP). Our input has helped developments achieve planning consent by
meeting sustainability requirements. Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy Targets and
Energy Assessments. The Energy Assessment is now an integral part of your
planning application. This must demonstrate how your development will reduce its
carbon emissions by Energy Efficiency and Utilising Low & Zero Carbon
Technologies (LZCT). The London Plan and many Local Planning Authorities are
setting a challenging 20% carbon reduction. Our Sustainable Energy Assessments
have successfully supported a number of diverse Planning Applications. 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, using
software when appropriate, model and determine the revised energy profile of the
proposed development.
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.
Ene 7 Feasibility Studies
Low & Zero Carbon (LZC) Technology Feasibility Studies
The LZC technology Feasibility Study Ene 7 scores invaluable extra credits as
part of the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) Assessment. Recently updated, the
CSH requires an independent energy specialist to identify the most cost
effective low carbon technology for your development. Contact us now to discuss
how to earn extra credits from Ene7 to reach Code Level 4 and above. CHP
feasibility and design Combined Heat & Power (CHP) The London Plan specifically
identifies CHP as the preferred low carbon solution to reduce carbon emissions.
Considering the feasibility of CHP has numerous benefits. It can significantly
reduce the capital investment cost 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. Follow this link to our free
on-line CHP calculator. What does CHP mean? Do I need to consider CHP for my
development? Which is the most sustainable solution for my site What are the
financial pros and cons What are the practical issues?
