Renewable Energies
Many people are aware that the British Government propose to achieve a zero carbon goal in three steps: moving first, in 2010 to a 25 per cent improvement in the energy/carbon performance set in building regulations; then second, in 2013, to a 44 per cent improvement; then, finally in 2016, to zero carbon.
Zero carbon means that over a year, the net carbon emissions from all energy use in the home will be zero. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, but the main way the government is pushing for is to have energy efficiency measures built in at the planning stage of all new properties.
At a time when the house building market is changing dramatically in terms of environmental regulations, legislative requirements and new technologies, Wilmec is striving to stay one step ahead in the development of knowledge, experience and qualifications, particularly relating to the emerging sustainable homes agenda.
Our income related to environmentally sustainable products and installations has increased dramatically over the last two years, and the trends look like continuing into the future. Our projects have so far included solar panels, ground source heat pumps and grey water harvesting.
