Renewables
As fossil fuel resources deplete, the world is looking for alternative energy sources. Over recent years climate change has worked its way up the political agenda, with renewable and low carbon energy integral to a sustainable and secure future.
Most planning authorities now require on-site renewable contributions to a development’s energy needs. London has taken the lead asking for a 20% reduction in carbon emissions. The energy strategy forms an important part of the overall environmental credentials of a project and, with government polices such as zero carbon schools by 2016, solutions must adapt to the challenging targets ahead.
Gifford are experts in energy and undertake feasibility work at the outset of a project. We work hard to understand a development’s energy profile, providing solutions which draw on the latest technologies and above all make sense for the individual scheme.
