Government's Renewable Heat Incentive

Mon, 14/03/2011

The Government announced the details of the the world's first Renewable Heat Incentive policy to revolutionise the way heat is generated and used in buildings and homes.  The Renewable Heat Incentive(RHI) policy document, sets out the detailed arrangements for this scheme, which will provide long-term financial support to renewable heat installations to encourage the uptake of renewable heat. DECC is aiming for the regulations which underpin this scheme to be approved by Parliament in summer 2011 and the scheme will be introduced shortly thereafter.

A new look at rooftop turbine positioning for non-residential buildings

Wed, 12/05/2010

The UK government policy requires that all future non-residential or mixed-use developments above 1000 m2 should provide at least 10% of their energy requirements from on-site renewable energy generation. Wind energy produced from building-mounted wind turbines could be expected to provide a proportion of this renewable energy. Putting a wind turbine on top of a tall building is a highly visual way to shout about green credentials, but minor changes in rooftop positioning can make a world of difference when it comes to actual energy generation. Built environment experts BRE have been putting their wind tunnel to good use, measuring speed and turbulence over thousands of spots on the roofs of a series of scale models representing high rise and medium rise buildings.

Hospital Packed with Green Technology

Wed, 21/04/2010

A hospital packed with green technology could become the most environmentally friendly in Britain, according to the primary care trust building it.
The Malvern Community Hospital, due to open this autumn, is part of plans by the NHS to cut its carbon footprint - which is currently 3% of the UK's total emissions. Built at Seaford Court, Malvern Link, the hospital will include in-patient and out-patient facilities, x-ray and ultrasound, day rehabilitation and therapies, palliative care and visiting mammography and MRI scans. Its 24-bed £17.7M hospital will use renewable geothermal energy for heating, cooling and hot water. For more information visit the edie website
