At 360 Energy we work alongside the design team to provide expert guidance on energy and sustainability issues to ensure the most suitable and cost effective solutions for both residential and commercial projects.
Many Local Planning Authorities require an Energy and Sustainability Statement to be submitted as part of a planning application. This is often combined with a requirement to provide a reduction in carbon emissions/ energy use of the building through onsite generation of energy using Low or Zero Carbon (LZC) and Renewable energy technologies.
The local planning authority may also require the development to achieve a particular Code for Sustainable Homes or BREEAM rating; credits are available within these schemes for utilising LZC technology to provide a percentage reduction in CO2 emissions.
The Energy Statement will set out the predicted energy/ CO2 emissions of the development and demonstrate potential improvements for reducing energy consumption and emissions.
