Renewable Energy and Planning Reports
Energy statements and feasibility reports assist developers, contractors and design team with the effective implementation of renewable energy sources into projects. This can be beneficial to meet planning requirements, support Code and BREEAM assessments, as well as influencing compliance routes for SAP and SBEM/DSM.
Renewable Energy Statements/Planning Reports
No matter where in the UK a new development is proposed, it is a certainty that the Local Authority Planning Policy will have requirements to incorporate renewable technology. For example, many authorities have adopted the Merton Rule, which requires that 10% of a site’s energy demand is met by on-site renewable technologies.
Whether the Policy requires a CO2 reduction or a percentage contribution from on-site renewable technologies, Stroma can undertake the assessment required to provide a Renewable Energy Statement suitable to meet the needs of all Local Authority planning requirements.
To ensure that a development is on target to meet the relevant Local Authority criteria, we can evaluate the proposed scheme and, where warranted, provide practical advice for meeting requirements.
Renewable Energy Feasibility Studies
In many circumstances and on many developments, the optimal approach to meeting Local Authority renewable energy targets may not be clear.
In addition, with new renewable energy incentives being driven by Government, and with the constant development of renewable technologies, best practice advice towards selection of technologies is essential for end users, developers and contractors.
Inclusion of renewable technologies can involve large capital expenditure, and as such it is essential that decisions are made with an understanding of both cost-effectiveness and technical viability.
By assessing the feasibility of an approach to renewable technologies, whether for new or existing buildings, we can help you to ensure that correct decisions are made, and only the best solutions are implemented.
