Renewable Energy and the Eco Home

Renewable Energy is the final part of the planning process.
As you have built a highly engineered Energy Efficent Home you now need to power it and there is not better way than naturally.
The wind and the sun proves enough energy to heat and power your home all year round but to maximise
the energy efficiency we need to calculate the requirements and and fulfill them.

The planning element is to find out your home's needs and to calculate the system that is required to fully run
your home. The savings over 25 years (ie the period of a standard mortgage) is emnormous and cannot be ignored.


Your heating and electric bills over 25 years can add up to €70,000 not taking into account rises in prices over
this period. Therefore your savings could excees €100,000.

Renewable energy can be harnessed using the following ways:

* Solar Water heaters provide 70% of utility hot water needs.
* Solar PV panels will provide electrical power.
* Wind Turbines will produce excellent power for your home.
* Internal wood Pellet burners provide effective efficient low cost heat.
* Heat Pumps harness the energy within the earth.
* Heat Recovery Systems can ventilate and maintain heated air.
