Energy
This area of the GROW Information Service has been designed to give you the help you need to reduce your energy consumption. Not only will following the advice in this section help the environment; it can also help you reduce your business overheads by minimising your fuel bills. If you translate this best practice to your developments, you will also make your buildings extremely attractive to both domestic and commercial clients.
This information is particularly important for anyone involved in construction, given the government commitment to make all new homes zero-carbon in the next ten years.
The Renewables Section gives information on alternative sources of energy such as wind and biomass energy. Whilst these technologies won't be the right solution for everybody, it's particularly important for constructors to be aware of all the available options as they approach new developments - and some of these routes may well be very attractive to your clients.
Energy Efficiency covers issues such as insulation, ventilation and thermal comfort - vital for both the well-being of your staff and the environmental impact of your developments.
The area also includes a links page and information on relevant legislation.
