Improving the Use of Energy in Buildings

Interactive Presentations (Case Studies)

In Shelford, just outside Cambridge, we provided an interactive presentation on solar technologies.  This included how both Solar Thermal and Photovoltaics work, how much they can cost, how you can install yourself and how communities can work together to get better deals.  After the presentation we held a comprehensive question and answer session where we gave specific advice to homeowners interested in installations.

On another occasion we were called upon by a small community called Slip End in Luton to investigate the possibilities for them to renovate a Community building and investigate the possibility for on-site renewables.  We were able to visit the area, provide a survey and a full report on their options, including information on any grants that may be available or any planning permissions which would need to be requested.

If your community requires some technical advice please do get in touch.  If we are unable to help we will usually know someone who can.

Support for Community Energy Projects
